    Same again! Drew Brees wants time, too much time, and he's sacked again. He had three men on him. He had no way out.

    Third and massive...17.

    Drew Brees converts on third down again - a flicked pass out to Alvin Kamara on the right and the back grabs it in for a first down.

    So slick.

    So Sacked! Brees is then on his back as Ndamukong Sug gets through the line and takes him down. 2nd&16.

    The last time these sides met in November, Saints receiver Michael Thomas caused the Rams defence all sorts of problems.

    That day, the 25-year-old ended the game with 211 receiving yards and one touchdown.

    He's one player Rams defensive coordinator Wade Phillips will be hoping to keep quiet today.

    Great defence from the Saints as PJ Williams tips away a pass which looked bang on the money. That was great athleticism!

    The Rams do punt it away this time.

    Drew Brees has no problem sharing the love... still breaking records at the ripe age of 40.

    LA Rams 3-13 New Orleans Saints

    CJ Anderson picks up a first down for the Rams. Jared Goff then overcooks his pass out wide. Their biggest play of the night remains that fake punt...

    LA Rams 3-13 New Orleans Saints

    Todd Gurley has been a superstar for LA all season. But those two drops already have been costly and he's on the sidelines as the Rams come back out to attack.

    Quick as you like it's third down.

  9. How loud?published at 21:07 Greenwich Mean Time 20 January 2019

    LA Rams 3-13 New Orleans Saints

    There was a noise meter on the screen which clocked the Superdome crowd at 106 DB. That's between a motorbike and a power saw at three inches away from your face. Apparently...

    LA Rams 3-13 New Orleans Saints

    Drew Brees takes a big hit, not what you need when you're 40, but there's no penalty called. And the Rams shut out the Saints' offence. Fourth down - they punt it away.

    The ball is back in Drew Brees' hands. Take this down and score a touchdown and the second half is looking very tough going for LA...

    The Rams are on the board - no nerves from Greg Zuerlein as he smashes over from 36.

    LA Rams 0-13 New Orleans Saints

    Todd Gurley drops the ball again! He had the first down in sight. Rams coach Sean McVay is fuming, he wants a penalty somewhere.

    Poor drop that.

    Jared Goff looks more relaxed now as the end zone looms into view. The Rams are inside the 20. But it is third down...

    The Rams will definitely have learned from their defeat in New Orleans during the regular season.

    We won't see that many points again this time. It's going to be a different game, a much tougher game.

    This is much more like it from the Rams now, they've blocked out that nightmare first quarter and finally have their wheels rolling.

    Can they score now?

  18. Fake punt!published at 13:39 2Q

    LA Rams 0-13 New Orleans Saints

    Fake punt! And the Rams finally have a first down!

    Great call. Sam Shields makes the catch as punter Johnny Hekker makes the sort of throw a quarterback would be pleased with!

    It's another three and out for the Rams. They'll have to punt.

    The Rams picked up 15 yards in that first quarter. Ouch!

    Saints grabbed 125 and a healthy lead. Long way to go yet though...
