The New Orleans Saints didn’t pick an easy matchup for rookie quarterback Tyler Shough to make his first start. The Los Angeles Rams are 5-2 and coming off back-to-back wins. The Saints have now fallen to 1-7 and are entering as 14-point underdogs. With such lopsided projections, New Orleans must take advantage of these key matchups if it wants to steal a win on Sunday.
The biggest concern for Shough coming out of the draft was his antsy feet in the pocket and his inability to avoid the pass rush. Unfortunately for the...

We’re one week closer to some players taking the next step in their football careers, and these are the guys I will be watching closely this Saturday.
Carnell Tate

It’s Week 9 and the New Orleans Saints (1-7) are on the road to face the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium.
Last week, we saw the Saints fall at home in a 23-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and QB Spencer Rattler get benched late in the 3rd quarter in favor of rookie Tyler Shough. Following that decision, a permanent change was expected and on Tuesday, Saints head coach Kellen Moore officially announced that Shough would be the team’s starter moving forward.
So, in this week’s reacts poll, we asked our readers who they felt should be starting...

The New Orleans Saints are projected as 14.5-point underdogs to the Los Angeles Rams at the time of writing this article. Although a quarterback change was announced recently to try and jump-start the black and gold offense, it is the defense of New Orleans that will face an uphill battle trying to contain a high-powered Rams’ offense.
Longtime NFL QB Matthew Stafford is in the midst of his 17th season in the NFL, and his fifth with the Rams. Although aging, he seems to do so like fine wine. Stafford is top-ten in passing yards, tied for first in touchdown...

This week, the New Orleans Saints will head to SoFi Stadium to face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 9 of the 2025 NFL season. After finally getting more involved this past week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the player to watch is WR Devaughn Vele.
Kellen Moore recently spoke about not getting Devaughn Vele on the field as much as they’d like over the last couple of weeks. He noted how much the 27-year-old deserves the opportunity—and that’s been evident, considering he entered the game against the Buccaneers with just five targets, which went for three first down receptions,...

A petrifying list of injuries that hopefully can have fewer names by Sunday
After a chilling start to the season, moving on from one of the team’s starters makes sense.
