The Rams have used a different starting offensive line in all nine games this season. According to Elias, they are the first team in the Super Bowl era to use a different starting five-man offensive line combination in each of their first nine games. This season has seen a perfect storm of injuries to key players that haven't been easy to replace, highlighting a glaring lack of depth on this roster. The offense has struggled to perform consistently, something directly related to player availability, especially on the offensive line.
After two punts by the Saints and one by the Rams, the Rams scored a touchdown on a 6 yard Todd Gurley run, cutting the lead to 3 points at the end of the half. "NFL 100 Greatest" ranks the top 100 teams in NFL history, and the 1950 Cleveland Browns -- who finished with a 10-2 record, led by head coach Paul Brown, quarterback Otto Graham, kicker Lou Groza and fullback Marion Motley -- land at No. 25. One subpar season certainly doesn't mean the championship window is closed, but it may have shown some challenges of using this roster-building approach. Los Angeles might choose to add more offensive line depth, a star running back or more pass rush help this offseason. The Rams have been known as an innovative franchise and are undoubtedly looking for the next advantage in team building. "NFL 100 Greatest" ranks the top 100 teams in NFL history, and the 1977 Dallas Cowboys, who beat the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XII behind head coach Tom Landry and quarterback Roger Staubach, land at No. 17.

The "NFL 100 Greatest" ranks the top 100 games in NFL history, and the Green Bay Packers vs. Oakland Raiders clash in Week 16 of the 2003 season lands at No. 52. I much prefer the noon games because i can't stand waiting all day or 'til the next day to see the game. That's when they've always been, and that's what I'm used to, and that's what I like. When breaking ties for three or more teams under the NFL's rules, they are first broken within divisions, then comparing only the highest ranked remaining team from each division. In the playoffs, the Saints defeated the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles 20–14 in the Divisional Round. The Falcons came into the game in need of a win to keep pace in the NFC South division race – as did the Saints.
Quotes displayed in real-time or delayed by at least 15 minutes. I drive down from the Jackson Miss area which makes for a long day, but now I have a daughter 40 minutes from the dome who thankfully likes for me to come stay either before or after the game. Weekday night games are certainly a challenge for people that have to commute to games. I also drive, and don’t like having to drive all the way back home AFTER the late game. As I have gotten older, I have more trouble driving at night.
NFC Championship Game
Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Dean Pees is carted off the field shortly before the Saints game in New Orleans on Sunday, Dec. 18, 2022. I prefer the early games and Idc for Sunday night or Monday night games, anymore. I awake so early to get up for work watching those night games are just about impossible for me to stay up that late and watch them.
This might have worked if not for the 2021 salary cap dip caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced them to shed more than $100 million in cap space. The Saints had to cut ties with productive young players such as defensive end Trey Hendrickson and safety Marcus Williams and replace them with bargains. Expensive players like Thomas have spent the majority of the last two seasons hurt. The Saints didn't address the future after Brees, believing that Taysom Hill could be the next starting quarterback . Instead, they tried to add the missing pieces in free agency and restructured all their major contracts to retain Brees, pay WR Michael Thomas and add players like TE Jared Cook, WR Emmanuel Sanders and S Malcolm Jenkins . The infamous pass interference "no-call," and an eventual loss to the Los Angeles Rams in overtime of the NFC championship game followed and the Rams went on to lose Super Bowl LIII to the New England Patriots.
The game received a 27.1 rating and a market share of 49 for television viewing in the US. Saints games and Thanksgiving are always a family affair at Charlotte Binnings' house in Covington and she brought out her family's oyster dressing recipe help feed all 18 relatives. Regulars at the Dry Dock Cafe and Old Point Bars decided to bring Thanksgiving to their favorite watering holes, with a potlock before the game and free shots after every Saints touchdown during the game. Seafood dressing and stuffed peppers and more were on the Black and Gold menus at Nakita Shavers house, where her family gathered all day to watch eat and watch Saints football.

The Saints kicked another field goal, and the Rams failed to get a first down again and were forced to punt. The Saints marched 63 yards down the field and scored a touchdown, making the score 13–0 at the end of the first quarter. The Rams scored a field goal halfway through the second quarter.
With the victory, the Saints extended their winning streak to 7 games and ended the previously 8-0 Rams' chances at completing a perfect season. Also, star wide receiver Michael Thomas, after scoring on his 12th reception, paid homage to former Saints wide receiver Joe Horn by pulling out a cell phone from underneath the goalpost pretending to make a call. This celebration drew a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
How the locker room responds will likely say a lot about Allen's outlook going forward. The Saints are saying the right things right now, but there's a long half of the season still ahead. The Saints signed Maye through 2024 and are likely tied to him through at least next season because of the contract structure. They are likely tied to free agent addition Tyrann Mathieu as well. The Saints' future certainly isn't as rosy as it was with Payton and Brees, at least not for now. It's unlikely they'd move on from coach Dennis Allen after one season barring a locker room mutiny down the stretch, so the Saints have to work with what they've got.
I have grown to love half working on a project while listening to the radio broadcast. It is like a win for me, win for the wife, and the nfl gets nothing from me. Night game radio listening isn't the same experience, hence traveling to a friends house. People that only watch the TV broadcast have missed out on a master of his craft. However, playoff seeding will still be extremely important at this point no matter what. The Rams could easily be right behind the Saints, waiting to pounce on homefield advantage.
They picked up a quick 15 yards on a pass interference call, but the drive stalled. On 2nd and 16, just 1 minute into overtime, Brees was hit on the arm by Rams linebacker Dante Fowler while throwing deep and the ball was intercepted by John Johnson. On the ensuing drive, the Rams drove down the field and Greg Zuerlein kicked the 57-yard game-winning field goal, sending the team to the Super Bowl. Drew Brees would throw his 500th touchdown pass against Baltimore and becoming the third quarterback in modern NFL history to defeat all 32 teams playing in the 2018 season – after Peyton Manning and Brett Favre. In doing so, he improved his record against the Ravens to 1-4.
New Orleans will play each of its NFC South rivals twice, one game each against each of the NFC East and AFC North teams and will play the 2017 first place teams in the NFC North and NFC West (vs. Los Angeles Rams). After head coach Sean Payton lost a golf bet to Eagles head coach Doug Pederson, the Saints, despite being the home team, wore their white color rush uniforms. It was the first time the Saints used the uniforms at home.
The Saints were not caught napping during this Thanksgiving feast. After defeating the Bengals on the road in Week 11 by a score of 51-14, the Saints returned home to trounce the defending Super Bowl Champion Eagles, 48-7. That 31-point loss is the most by a championship- defending team ever. Two wins by a combined score of 68 to put New Orleans at 9-1 on the season has then floating somewhere right above Cloud9.
