INGLEWOOD, Ca. The Los Angeles Rams defense were called upon to take on Kellen Moore's New Orleans Saints offense. After already battling against them in a joint practice before the season, I posed five questions the defense must answer on Sunday. Here are their answers.

Saints rookie coach Kellen Moore is less than a year removed from celebrating a Super Bowl triumph in the Superdome as offensive coordinator with the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Saints only possessed the ball for 16:07 on Sunday, meaning L.A. won the time of possession battle by over 27 minutes. It's also the most time of possession the Rams have had in a game in the McVay era (since 2018), according to nflverse data.

The New Orleans Saints looked ugly in a Week 9 road loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Here are the highlights from the game.

New Orleans lost 23-3 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 8 as a 4-point underdog as the Under (46) easily hit. The Saints outgained Tampa, but their 4 turnovers and 8 penalties for 40 yards cost them the game. The Saints first 5 possessions ended with either a fumble, interception or punt.
