The New Orleans Saints falling to the Los Angeles Rams was one of the most predictable outcomes of the weekend, and it went about the way that most expected it. The Rams dominated New Orleans and won by 24 points. One surprise is the pregame storyline was all about Tyler Shough and his debut. It ended up being less of a story because he barely touched the ball.
The Saints only possessed the ball for 16 minutes and 7 seconds. Let's use a couple points of reference to explain how disheartening that is. NewOrleans.Football revealed on social media that the Saints' time of possession was the 13th lowest in NFL history.
