The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly from the Saints loss to the Rams

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly from the Saints loss to the Rams

The Good: Tyler Shough

Rookie QB Tyler Shough had a decent first start for the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. He completed 15 of 24 passes for 176 yards and one touchdown with one interception. Not much went right for the Saints in LA, but this is pretty good game for a rookie QB making his first start on the road against one of the best defenses in the NFL.

The Bad: Defense

The Saints surrendered 281 yards and 4 touchdowns through the air on Sunday. Matthew Stafford completed 24 of 32 passes, Puka Nacua had 95 yards...

Who was the Saints’ breakout player vs. the Rams?

The New Orleans Saints were no match for the Los Angeles Rams, as they fell 34–10 in Week 9 of the 2025 NFL season at SoFi Stadium.

The breakout player from the Saints’ loss to the Rams turned in his second straight impressive performance, building on what was arguably his best game in Black and Gold since inking a three-year, $31.5 million deal with New Orleans this offseason.

S Justin Reid

The 28-year-old recorded 13 total tackles (eight solo) and three stops on 79 defensive snaps, along with a 76.5 overall grade and an 88.2 run-defense grade against the Rams,...

Game Recap: Saints @ Rams

The New Orleans Saints were in Los Angeles on Sunday to take on the Rams in rookie quarterback Tyler Shough’s first NFL start. Here’s a quick recap of all that went down.

First Quarter

The black and gold had a fruitless first possession, with a quick three-and-out giving the ball to the hosts.

Matt Stafford and the Rams offense took no time at all to get going, with his first four throws complete for a combined 55 yards.

Kyren Williams would then do some work on the ground before Stafford eventually found Tyler Higbee in the end zone to...

Ups and downs from Saints vs. Rams

Ups and downs from Saints vs. Rams

The New Orleans Saints were no match for the Los Angeles Rams in rookie quarterback Tyler Shough’s debut. The Rams won comfortably in a 24-point win and were never in doubt after taking a 7-0 lead after their opening drive.

Up: Tyler Shough

Tyler Shough didn’t play lights out on Sunday, far from it, really. However, the rookie quarterback did many things well and looked like an NFL quarterback. From the zip on his passes to the...

Sunday afternoon, the New Orleans Saints fell 34-10 to the Los Angeles Rams and to 1-8 on the season, which is now their worst start in 45 years. The Saints last started 1-8 way back in 1980, which is 8 years before head coach Kellen Moore was even born.
