Not only did the New Orleans Saints fail to get even a modicum of revenge against the Los Angeles Rams, they were screwed out of an obvious fumble return touchdown, but their star quarterback suffered a potentially significant injury.
Drew Brees missed most of New Orleans’ 27-9 loss to the Rams after his throwing hand collided with none other than Aaron Donald. The end result was a thumb injury that needed to be wrapped up by the medical team, and despite efforts to get back into the game, Teddy Bridgewater took control of the offense for the final three quarters of action.
