The New Orleans Saints aim to maintain their recent resurgence as they prepare to face the inconsistent Los Angeles Rams, who are clinging to their playoff hopes in the NFC West.
Since a midseason coaching change, the Saints have turned their fortunes around, with defensive end Cameron Jordan crediting a “mental shift” within the team. After enduring a seven-game losing streak and a slew of injuries, including to quarterback Derek Carr, the Saints now face a pivotal stretch where they must win most of their remaining games to salvage their season.
The Rams, coming off a blowout loss to Philadelphia, are also fighting for survival. With an inconsistent run defense and a heavy reliance on their passing game led by Matthew Stafford, the Rams must find stability to keep their postseason dreams alive.
Both teams have much at stake as they clash in a battle that could define their seasons.
