The scoreboard shows an eight-point win by the Los Angeles Rams over the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night, but it was the Rams who dominated this game for much of the night. It wasn’t until the final 7 minutes that the Saints made things interesting, scoring two quick touchdowns to make it 30-22 late in the fourth.
Like last week, the Rams were able to put the game away on offense with a few first downs to ice it, but this one was a bit closer than they wanted.
Still, they’re 8-7 and currently sitting sixth in the NFC, with a great chance to now get into the playoffs. Here’s a look at how Twitter reacted to the win by Los Angeles.
Matthew Stafford gets Cam Jordan to jump offsides. Allows Rams to burn more clock.
That will do it.
Rams get the W in a must-win game!

The Rams could be a tough out for teams. I think they beat Philly in a playoff game if it were played today.

Rams might be only team in NFC with a snowball's chance to upset 49ers at Santa Clara in playoffs.

Week 16 and the 2023 Los Angeles Rams have a winning record. What a world. If this team doesn't make the playoffs it will be a shame

The wild thing to consider is that internally, this franchise effectively gave up on this year in the offseason. Jalen Ramsey, Bobby Wagner, Leonard Floyd, etc.
So to be above .500 with two games to play is a RIDICULOUS achievement. https://t.co/koNs0FsQLm

Rams are currently #6 seed in playoff picture. Lions #3 seed. Lotta ballgames left, but if that held they'd play each other in 1st round. Omg could you imagine Goff vs McVay/Stafford in the playoffs lol

The Rams have won 4 straight home games in a season for the first time since early 2020. They hadn't done it with fans in the stands since early in their 2018 Super Bowl season, Sean McVay's 2nd year in charge.

Rams win and the Dodgers get Yamamoto at the same exact time.
Everything coming up Hollywood.

The Rams are the NFC's Billsâ¦. No one should want to see them in the playoffs
