The New Orleans Saints were no match for the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday afternoon, largely because Drew Brees missed most of the game with an injury to his throwing hand. The Rams lost a few players themselves – Aaron Donald left briefly, while Austin Blythe and Tyler Higbee also suffered injuries – but none were as big as Brees leaving the game.
The Rams took advantage and rolled to a 27-9 victory, keeping the high-powered Saints offense out of the end zone all day.
It was a relatively close game until the end of the third quarter when the Rams began to pull away. Of course, the Saints were robbed of a defensive touchdown after a fumble was ruled incomplete and blown dead, but Los Angeles took advantage of its opportunities.
If you missed the game, the full highlight reel can be seen below. Cooper Kupp’s 66-yard catch is must-see, as is Brandin Cooks’ 57-yard grab.
