INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- A pair of teams harboring realistic playoff hopes squared off on "Thursday Night Football," where the Los Angeles Rams played host to the New Orleans Saints at SoFi Stadium.
Only one consistently looked like a postseason team. The Rams defeated the Saints, 30-22, fending off a late New Orleans rally while riding another 300-plus yard passing game from quarterback Matthew Stafford to move to 8-7 and increase their playoff probability.
The Saints, meanwhile, will stumble into a critical meeting with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week at 7-8, with the postseason odds perhaps less worrying than New Orleans' listless performance on Thursday.
