Andy Dalton threw three touchdown passes as the host New Orleans Saints defeated the Los Angeles Rams 27–20 on Sunday afternoon.
Dalton completed 21 of 25 passes for 260 yards as the Saints (4–7) prevailed in a battle of injury-plagued teams.
Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, who missed the Rams’ loss to Arizona last week because of a concussion, left this game in the third quarter to be evaluated for a possible concussion and did not return.
Stafford, who completed 11 of 18 for 159 yards with two touchdowns, was replaced by Bryce Perkins, who completed 5 of 10 pass attempts for 64 yards and rushed five times for 39 yards.
