The Los Angeles Rams got a much-needed break in Week 8 after starting their 2025 campaign with a 5-2 record, and now they’re back in action on Sunday, as they’ll take on the New Orleans Saints at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
Los Angeles played without right tackle Rob Havenstein and wide receiver Puka Nacua in their last game (a 35-7 beatdown of the Jacksonville Jaguars in London in Week 7), but they’re both expected to return this week. The Rams could also get a boost to their defense after acquiring cornerback Roger McCreary in a trade with the Tennessee Titans on Monday.
The Saints have gone 1-7 through their first eight weeks and have decided to make a change at quarterback heading into Week 9. After eight games with Spencer Rattler under center, 2025 second-round pick Tyler Shough will now lead Kellen Moore’s offense. That could create more challenges for Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula and his unit.
This Week 9 battle between the Rams and Saints won’t be broadcast nationally, but it’ll still be available for many fans across the country. Take a look at the map below, and if you’re in the yellow areas, you’re good to go.
The Rams kick off against the Saints at 4:05 p.m. ET on Sunday on FOX. Kenny Albert has the call with Super Bowl champion and three-time Pro Bowl linebacker Jonathan Vilma providing color commentary and Megan Olivi reporting from the sidelines.
