LOS ANGELES (AP) — When Drew Brees went to the sideline holding his injured throwing hand
Alvin Kamara Jersey , this NFC championship game rematch — and maybe this season’s Super Bowl race — dramatically changed in an instant.Jared Goff and the Los Angeles Rams didn’t waste the opportunity created by Brees’ absence to beat the Saints again. And with no help from a no-call this time.Goff passed for 283 yards and a touchdown and rushed for another score, and the Rams stopped New Orleans from scoring an offensive touchdown for the first time since 2016 during Los Angeles’ 27-9 victory Sunday.Article continues below ...A strong performance by the Rams’ defense, an impressive second half from Goff’s offense, and another officiating decision that hurt the Saints were all overshadowed by Brees’ departure late in the first quarter.“I told him I’m hoping for the best,” Goff said of his postgame chat with Brees. “He’s a great player for this league, a face of the league, and somebody we need in the league.”Brees’ throwing hand collided with Aaron Donald’s outstretched hand while he threw an incompletion on the Saints’ second drive, and the NFL’s career leader in yards passing spent the afternoon on the Coliseum sideline with his thumb heavily wrapped. Brees will see a hand specialist Sunday night, he said.“There is only so much you can do here as far as a doctor seeing it on the sideline,” Brees said. “Hoping it is not too significant.”Teddy Bridgewater went 17 of 30 for 165 yards in solid relief, while Alvin Kamara rushed for just 45 yards for the Saints (1-1), who seemed understandably discombobulated without their longtime quarterback — although the Rams’ defense deserves plenty of credit as well.Brees’ absence “really didn’t change anything at all for us
Marshon Lattimore Jersey White ,” Rams pass rusher Dante Fowler said. “We were doing a good job before he got hurt. Everybody was on top of their game.”New Orleans didn’t score an offensive touchdown for only the fourth time in 13-plus seasons under coach Sean Payton, who got a lengthy contract extension before the game.“It is going to be a hard film to watch for guys,” Payton said. “We got whipped up front.”Todd Gurley rushed for 63 yards and scored his first touchdown of the season late in the third quarter of this rematch of the Rams’ 26-23 overtime win in New Orleans last January. That game turned on the infamous uncalled pass interference late in regulation by Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman, who had six tackles in the rematch.“Every win is a big win, but today was a very important win,” Robey-Coleman said. “It was a win that basically just closed all the chatter and the naysaying.”This one also contained early refereeing drama that left the Saints steamed: New Orleans’ Cameron Jordan had a long fumble return for a touchdown wiped out in the second quarter. The play initially was ruled an incomplete pass before video review determined Goff had fumbled, but Jordan’s long return didn’t count because officials had blown the play dead.Jordan was still furious after the game, even referring to the refs as “the Foot Locker” and saying certain members of the officiating crew “were maybe in their prime a decade ago.”“If Drew is down, it’s on the defense,” Jordan added. “I take it upon me. I don’t know how many times we hit Jared Goff, but it wasn’t enough. We’ve got to create more turnovers.”The Saints were hampered by 11 penalties for 87 yards, while the Rams’ offense recovered from a slow start to make three straight touchdown drives in the second half.But this matchup between two of the most prolific offenses in NFL history was definitely not a fireworks show

The Rams failed to score a touchdown in the first half for only the third time in McVay’s tenure.KUPP RUNNETH OVER EVERYBODYShortly after Brandin Cooks caught a TD pass, Cooper Kupp made the play of the game with a spectacular 67-yard catch-and-run in the fourth quarter. Goff scored after Kupp was ruled down at the 1 by video review.“It was like something you only see in a football movie,” Cooks said with a laugh.Kupp finished with five catches for 120 yards, while Goff surpassed 10,000 career yards passing.INJURIESBoth teams had far too many. Along with Brees, the Saints lost left guard Andrus Peat to an ankle injury in the second half. Linebacker A.J. Klein also went to the locker room in the second half. Backup receiver Keith Kirkwood was ruled out with a hamstring injury in pregame warmups.The Rams lost two offensive starters: right guard Austin Blythe injured his ankle in the first half, and tight end Tyler Higbee incurred a chest injury early in the second half.Donald missed part of the first half with a back injury, but the two-time Defensive Player of the Year returned.LAST SHOWThe game was the Rams’ final home opener at the 96-year-old Coliseum: They’ll move into SoFi Stadium in Inglewood next season. The Rams and Chargers unveiled the name of their multibillion-dollar complex before the game.UP NEXTSaints: Staying on the West Coast this week to face the Seattle Seahawks next Sunday.Rams: At the Cleveland Browns next Sunday.

Womens Marshon Lattimore Jersey , and I’m back with the New Orleans Saints Player of the Week for the 2018 NFC Divisional Round! Getting back into the swing of things, we find our boys in Black & Gold heading to the NFC Championship game after a stressful win over the Philadelphia Eagles in the Mercedes-Benz Super Dome. Despite a rocky start, the Saints pulled off a 20-14 victory to advance to their biggest game of the season. New Orleans put together a team effort so it is necessary that I acknowledge a player from each unit.Starting things off, the most impressive Saint from Sunday was wide receiver Michael Thomas. Though Drew Brees was Classic Brees, throwing for 301 yards, 2 touchdowns, andone interception, he wasn’t the standout on offense in my humble opinion. The spotlight belonged to Thomas who caught 12 passes for 171 yards and 1 TD. Most impressive was Thomas’ ability to find soft spots in the Eagles defense, make the routine catches, then turn around and go over the middle to make the tough catches. The value of #cantguardmike at this phase of Brees’ career cannot be under-valued. The hands down best wide receiver of the the Payton-Brees era has come up big in big games and continues to treat national audiences to a clinic on pass catching. He’s my offensive POTW.The defense did their thing as a unit and after a very shaky start, the unit kept the Eagles out of prime real estate for almost 45 minutes of football. Trailing 14-0, the Saints defense dug in its heels and found the formula to stop the Eagles offense cold. Last year’s Defensive Rookie of the Year
Alvin Kamara Jersey White , Marshon Lattimore, awoke from his slumber and made a momentum-shifting interception of quarterback Nick Foles. His pick was just the spark the team needed and the Saints would get their first score of the game. Late in the 4th quarter, with the game still hanging in the balance, Lattimore came up big and was Johnny-on-the-spot. Driving into Saints territory, Foles targeted wide receiver Alshon Jeffery who let the pass slip through his mitts, into the awaiting paws of Lattimore. But Lattimore wasn’t just good for forcing two turnovers, he also provided quality coverage on Jeffery to render him less effective in the 2nd half. Nice day at the office for #shonrp!In such an important team win, we have to acknowledge the special teams. Just to slide this in, the combo of Taysom Hill and Justin Hardee on kick coverage has been a huge bright spot for the Saints. But here, Taysom gets some more shine. Similar to the important division game in Tampa bay about a month ago, Hill was in on a momentum swinging play. After Lattimore’s INT gave the Saints fresh legs, the offense still remained sluggish and lined up to punt. However
Womens Tre'Quan Smith Jersey , in true Sean Payton fashioned, he rolled the dice and went with the fake punt on 4th and short. Hill converted the play and the Saints got on the boardfor the first time, en route to 20 unanswered points. Having taken care of business, the Saints have more work ahead of them. Hosting the NFC Championship Game for the second time, the Saints will look to stop the Los Angeles Rams from avenging a previous loss to the Saints in the Dome earlier this season. Both teams will have the services of players who missed the high-scoring affair, including Ted Ginn Jr. and Aqub Talib. This should be an amazing game!As always, Thanks for reading, Be Cool Who Dats!
