The Los Angeles Rams defeated the New Orleans Saints to kick off Week 16 in a game that wasn’t nearly as close as the final score indicated. LA jumped out to a 30-7 lead and only allowed the Saints to make the score appear somewhat respectable in garbage time.
Sean McVay’s team won their biggest game since Super Bowl LVI on Thursday. This wasn’t what most fans or analysts expected out of the Rams in 2023. The primetime beatdown of New Orleans proved that Matthew Stafford is playing some of the best football of his career and Puka Nacua and Kyren Williams were excellent late-round picks from the last two drafts.
