In a game where the New Orleans Saints lost starting quarterback Drew Brees with a thumb injury early in the first quarter, is it really possible to have any meaningful takeaways regarding where this edition of the Los Angeles Rams stand? Actually, yes.
Here are some things we learned during Sunday’s 27-9 victory over the Saints.
1) The Rams secondary is really good, and the linebackers aren’t half bad either.
The Saints’ Pro Bowl receiver Michael Thomas was nearly as quiet as he was in last season’s NFC Championship game before he hauled in some junk time receptions.
