Article image

Inglewood, California – The New Orleans Saints endured another crushing defeat, falling 10–34 to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 9 of the 2025 NFL season. Despite a bright moment when rookie Tyler Shough threw the first touchdown pass of his career, the Saints were completely overwhelmed by the power and precision of Matthew Stafford and his explosive Rams offense.


💥 A storm named Rams – and a helpless Saints defense

From the opening quarter, the Rams turned the game into an offensive showcase. Matthew Stafford was in vintage form, throwing for 281 yards and 4 touchdowns, including two scoring strikes to Davante Adams.

The Saints briefly answered with an 11-yard touchdown pass from Shough to Juwan Johnson, but their defense had no answers for the Rams’ relentless attack. Kyren Williams dominated the ground game with 114 rushing yards and 1 touchdown, helping Los Angeles control the clock with ease.

By the third quarter, the Rams broke the game wide open with two more touchdowns, extending their lead to 34–10, and from there, they coasted to victory.


⚜️ Tyler Shough – a small light in a dark night

Rookie quarterback Tyler Shough made his first career start for the Saints. Despite the heavy loss, he provided a rare bright spot by recording his first career touchdown, finishing with 162 yards, 1 TD, and 1 interception.

“He stayed calm under pressure — that’s something we truly value,” head coach Kellen Moore said postgame.

Still, the Saints’ offense was lifeless, managing only 198 total yards, including a mere 36 rushing yards, one of their worst offensive performances this season.


😔 Costly mistakes and fading discipline

Star running back Alvin Kamara struggled to make an impact, fumbling the ball in the third quarter — a turnover that directly led to a Rams touchdown.
Rashid Shaheed, who returned from a hip injury, had just one notable play — a 26-yard catch in the second quarter.
Meanwhile, the Saints’ defense completely collapsed, allowing 171 rushing yards, their worst outing of the season.

“We need to respond better,” head coach Kellen Moore admitted. “Every mistake we made, they punished.”

    Packers' Star QB Refuses MVP Title to Fully Focus on Team in Tough Phase
    Can you believe it? Jordan Love, the "red-hot" quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, is on track to compete for MVP with +1000 odds at DraftKings – but this guy is "refusing" personal glory to pour all his energy into the team struggling with a "hellish" schedule! Is this a heroic act or just a ploy? Read now to uncover the "truth" behind it! In the Super Bowl era, the Packers have produced three MVP legends: Bart Starr (1966), Brett Favre (1995-1997), and Aaron Rodgers (2011, 2014, 2020, 2021). Now, Jordan Love has a chance to become the fourth, putting the Packers on par with the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts – the only team with four QB MVPs like Johnny Unitas, Earl Morrall, Bert Jones, and Peyton Manning. With his current "explosive" form, Love ranks fourth in the NFL for passer rating (105.4), tied for fifth in touchdown passes (22), with only four interceptions – the fewest among QBs starting all 13 games, and a 67.1% completion rate ranking seventh. But instead of "dreaming" of MVP, Love seems to be "rejecting" it! In a recent interview, he emphasized: "These are the most important games of the season, obviously with a lot of things coming down to playoff seeding and the division race, so this is the important football. I think it’s everybody, we keep stacking and keep getting better and better throughout the season and learn from the mistakes we make and overcome some of the obstacles. Just keep stacking and trying to find ways to get better every day is something that’s been helping us." These words are like a clear "declaration": Love doesn't care about MVP, but only wants to focus on the team in its "tough phase" with a 9-3-1 record, trailing the Rams (10-3) in the NFC. Head coach Matt LaFleur also "sings along": "Yeah, he’s playing really good football right now. That’s obviously important and it’s going to be important moving forward." And offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich praises the consistency: "I would say just the consistency that he’s had has been great... Just being a consistent, efficient quarterback is one thing that I’ve been really pleased with." But it's Packers defensive end Micah Parsons who "reveals" why Love deserves but is "overlooking" MVP: "I definitely think he deserves recognition... If you go off strength of schedule, how he's played and with him missing half his receivers, I think that goes unnoticed, too. Some of the things he did without (Christian Watson) early in the year, then (Jayden Reed), so this guy was missing two of his starting receivers majority of the year and they're just now getting back in these last eight weeks of the stretch, so I definitely think he deserves a lot more credit and I'm just happy I'm able to be a part of this journey with him." Currently, Matthew Stafford of the Rams leads the MVP race with -180 odds, 35 touchdown passes (far ahead of Dak Prescott with 26), passer rating 113.1, and only four interceptions. Drake Maye of the Patriots follows with +200, passer rating 111.9, 3,412 passing yards, and 23 touchdowns. Love, with a four-game winning streak (nine touchdowns, one interception, passer rating 112.1), could stage a comeback if he maintains "red-hot form" – especially in the upcoming two "epic" games: away at Denver (11-2) and Chicago (9-4). If the Packers leap to the NFC's No. 1 seed (likely needing a 4-0 finish), while the Rams stumble against Detroit (8-5) and Seattle (10-3), or the Patriots slip against Buffalo (9-4) and Baltimore (6-7), Love would have a shot at MVP. But with his "humble" attitude, does Love really want to "accept" that title? Or is he sacrificing personally to save the Packers from the "tough phase"? The 2025 NFL drama is "hotter than ever"! Do you think Love is "playing a trick" to motivate the team? Comment now and follow for the "shocking" outcome of the MVP race!
