On November 2, 2025, the Los Angeles Rams dominated the New Orleans Saints with a 34-10 victory, showcasing their prowess in a thrilling game at SoFi Stadium. The Rams’ success was fueled by a stellar performance from Matthew Stafford, who threw for 281 yards and four touchdowns, including two to Davante Adams. Puka Nacua, returning from an ankle injury, caught seven passes for 95 yards and a touchdown, while Tyler Higbee and Kyren Williams also contributed with TD catches and rushing scores, respectively. The Rams’ defense was equally impressive, allowing only 224 yards and holding their past three opponents to a combined 20 points.
The Rams’ celebration was further fueled by the nearby Los Angeles Dodgers’ World Series victory, as they watched the Dodgers’ thrilling rally to win Game 7 and back-to-back titles. This inspired the Rams to envision their own success, with Jared Verse stating, ‘We know we’ve got to be next.’
However, the Saints’ Tyler Shough, making his first NFL start, played well, throwing for 176 yards and a touchdown. Despite the loss, Saints coach Kellen Moore acknowledged the Rams’ dominance, noting their control of the game’s tempo and the challenges they posed. The Rams’ victory marked their third straight impressive win, solidifying their position as a force to be reckoned with in the NFL.
The game also featured a unique moment when Higbee, after scoring on the opening drive, celebrated with a Dragon Ball-inspired move, a nod to the Dodgers’ season-long tradition. This blend of baseball and football fever created an electric atmosphere at SoFi Stadium.
Looking ahead, the Rams will face the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, while the Saints will take on the Carolina Panthers. The Rams’ success and the Saints’ struggles have sparked discussions about their respective futures and the potential for continued dominance or a turnaround.
