At 30:22, the Rams have eight wins and seven defeats, while the Saints have the opposite record and suffered their eighth defeat of the season. The Rams moved to sixth place in the NFC, at least until Sunday. Seven teams qualify for the playoffs.
Matthew Stafford, the only quarterback in the NFC to win the Super Bowl, had another strong game and led the Rams to success with two touchdown passes. “It was a win for the whole team,” Stafford said. “It was fun today. I had the feeling that no matter what the defense did, I would have an answer to it.” The game was evenly matched up to 10:7, but the hosts scored their second touchdown before halftime. In the meantime, LA led 30:7 in the last quarter, two late touchdowns by the Saints were merely cosmetic results.
In the two remaining games, the Rams will face the New York Giants on New Year’s Eve and at the end of the main round they will face the strong San Francisco 49ers. The Saints, who have lost four of the last six games, still have to play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and finally meet the Atlanta Falcons. Both teams are direct competitors in the NFC South.
