As desperate as the Rams are for a win, the Saints need one even more badly. One more loss will essentially eliminate New Orleans from playoff contention, so the Saints won’t be lacking motivation at home in front of what should be a raucous crowd.

This upward trend suggests Carr is finding his rhythm in the Saints' offense. The Rams have the 19th-ranked pass defense, allowing 218.2 yards per game. Los Angeles has given up at least two passing touchdowns to six opposing quarterbacks this season.
