Game Recap: Saints @ Rams
Chase Young sacked Stafford on the final play of the opening frame as the Rams drove into Saints territory. A pass interference against Kool-Aid McKinstry helped keep the LA drive alive, before it continued into the red zone as Stafford found Higbee twice more.
Matthew Stafford passed for 281 yards and four touchdown passes as the Rams picked up their sixth win of the season in a 34-10 victory over the Saints.

The Rams had him wearing a mic for Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints and he rarely had a quiet moment. One of the few times he wasn’t talking was after Puka Nacua’s incredible touchdown grab.

Stafford ranks fifth in passing yards and passer rating among starting QBs entering “Monday Night Football” between the Arizona Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys. He leads the NFL in TD passes, while his interception rate is the third-best among qualifying QBs.
The Rams have truly embraced the use of three-tight end sets over the past two games, and it's been extremely effective.

Shough’s debut as an NFL starting quarterback ended in defeat with the Rams beating the Saints 34-10 on Sunday at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. A 2025 second round draft pick by the Saints, Shough completed 15 of 24 passes against the Rams for 176 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
A variety of ways but what was interesting to note is that not only did the Rams use just as many three tight end sets and they did three wide receiver sets on Sunday, they also lined up Terrance Ferguson in the slot, making it clear to the league that he's meant to be the Rams' newest version of the Travis Kelce archetype.
