INGLEWOOD, Calif. — The Rams’ early success continued on “Thursday Night Football” against the New Orleans Saints, as Los Angeles scored for an NFL-high 11th time on the opening drive.

On fourth and goal from the 2-yard line, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford found rookie receiver Puka Nacua for the first score of the game.

The 95-yard touchdown drive was the Rams’ longest drive of the season. Stafford completed 5 of 7 passes for 68 yards on the drive, connecting with four different players.

The game has significant playoff implications for the Rams, who entered with a 54% chance to reach the postseason. That jumps to 78% if they beat the Saints and falls to 17% with a loss.
