Overview

  • The 5-2 Rams face the 1-7 Saints at SoFi Stadium on Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET on FOX.
  • Rookie Tyler Shough is expected to start at quarterback for New Orleans after a 17-of-30, 128-yard relief appearance in Week 8.
  • Los Angeles has allowed just 10 points across its past two games, and Matthew Stafford has gone four straight without an interception.
