This week’s Madden 17 simulation saw the New Orleans Saints sprint out of the blocks before the Los Angeles Rams even heard the starting gun. New Orleans hung 21 on Los Angeles on three consecutive drives in the first quarter alone, partially thanks to two Jared Goff interceptions to set up short fields, on its way to a commanding 38-13 win. Michael Thomas’s eight-yard touchdown snag put a bow on a brief 4-play New Orleans opening drive to put the Saints up early. Two plays into Los Angeles’s opening drive, Sterling Moore picked off a floating Goff pass to set up New Orleans at the Los Angeles 32-yard line.
