INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Behind another outstanding game by quarterback Matthew Stafford and a stout performance by their defense, the Rams (6-2) defeated the Saints 34-10 on Sunday at SoFi Stadium to extend their win streak to three games.

Stafford finished 24 of 32 passing for 282 yards and four touchdowns, marking the first time in his career he's thrown four or more touchdown passes in consecutive games.

Los Angeles' defense held New Orleans (1-8) to 224 net yards of total offense and 2 of 9 on third down, creating two takeaways – a forced fumble caused by inside linebacker Nate Landman recovered by safety Kamren Kinchens, and an interception by cornerback Emmanuel Forbes Jr. for his first as a Ram.

Wide receiver Puka Nacua had seven catches for 95 yards prior to exiting the game late in the third quarter with a chest injury sustained after a hit from Saints linebacker Demario Davis at the end of a 3-yard run. He was questionable to return.

Wide receiver Davante Adams continued finding the endzone, posting five catches for 60 yards and two touchdowns. His two touchdown catches gave him five in his last two games and 109 overall for his career, moving him into a tie with Tony Gonzalez for eighth-most all-time.

Meanwhile, running back Kyren Williams rushed 25 times for 114 yards and one touchdown. Williams' rushing touchdown moved him into sole possession of 10th all-time in franchise history in that category with 29, breaking a tie with Roman Gabriel and Dick Hoerner (28).

Here is the complete game recap, presented by Verizon:

A methodical 12-play, 88-yard scoring drive – capped by a 1-yard touchdown pass from Stafford to a wide open Tyler Higbee – gave the Rams an early 7-0 lead with 6:18 remaining in the first quarter.

Stafford's 3-yard touchdown pass to Adams extended Los Angeles' lead to 13-0 with 11:28 left in the second quarter; the ensuing extra point attempt was no good.

New Orleans kicker Blake Grupe's 39-yard field goal midway through the second quarter cut the L.A. lead to 10, keyed by a 29-yard run by Taysom Hill. However, the Rams answered quickly with a 39-yard touchdown pass from Stafford to Nacua on the ensuing possession for a 20-3 lead with 6:25 left in the second quarter.

The Rams had a chance to extend that lead to 20 but kicker Joshua Karty missed his second kick, this time a 39-yard field goal attempt, with 58 seconds left in the first half. Instead, the Saints responded with a touchdown-scoring drive – aided by a roughing the passer penalty against the Rams defense – that cut the Rams lead to 20-10 with seven seconds left in the first half.

Stafford's second touchdown pass to Adams – this time from four yards out – extended the Rams' lead back to 17 with 5:14 left int he third quarter.

On the ensuing series, Landman's peanut-punch forced fumble on New Orleans running back Alvin Kamara was recovered by Kinchens, giving Los Angeles the ball back near midfield. The Rams capitalized with a one-yard touchdown run by Williams to extend their lead to 34-10 with 12:40 to play in the fourth quarter.

New Orleans never threatened the rest of the way.
