The Los Angeles Rams achieved a significant milestone in their rushing game, amassing 156 yards in a 21-14 victory over the New Orleans Saints. Kyren Williams led the charge with 104 yards and a touchdown, while rookie Blake Corum contributed 42 yards. This performance marked a turnaround for a team that had struggled to run the ball consistently all season.
Coach Sean McVay praised the offensive line's performance, which was bolstered by the return of right tackle Rob Havenstein. Despite a slow start, the Rams capitalized on their running game, leading to successful scoring opportunities in the second half. However, concerns remain as they rank 28th in the league against the run, allowing an average of 144.2 yards per game.
