The Rams had a bye last week, but they have picked up right where they left off in London.
Matthew Stafford connected with a wide-open Tyler Higbee for a 1-yard touchdown to cap a 12-play, 88-yard drive to take an early 7-0 lead.
After forcing a three-and-out on rookie QB Tyler Shough and the Saints’ offense, the Rams moved efficiently down the field.
Stafford connected with Puka Nacua — returning after missing a game with an ankle injury — on the first two plays from scrimmage. Then he hit Davante Adams for a 20-yard gain to move the Rams to midfield.
The Rams faced just two third downs on the possession, one of which resulted in Stafford’s touchdown. Stafford ended the first possession 8-of-8 for 72 yards. Nacua caught all four of his targets on the possession for 33 yards.
