WATCH: Kyren Williams TD Extends Los Angeles Rams Lead Over New Orleans Saints
The Los Angeles Rams are starting to pour it on the New Orleans Saints in this Holiday version of Thursday Night Football at SoFi Stadium.
After opening the second half with the feeling of having left points on the board, as quarterback Matthew Stafford missed a wide-open Puka Nacua for what would've been a touchdown, Jordan Fuller gave the offense a chance to make up for it as he intercepted a Derek Carr pass on the ensuing possession.

From there, Stafford and co. went to work, finding the endzone in just five plays as breakout running back Kyren Williams punched it in from 10 yards out to take a 27-7 midway through the third quarter.
The touchdown was Williams' first of the game but ninth of the season as he adds to his case for becoming a first-time Pro Bowler this season. Williams managed to add to his touchdown total and made history, becoming the first Rams' running back since Todd Gurley in 2018 to rush for 1,000 yards.
Williams has 90 yards, and a score on 16 carries against the Saints and will have a chance for more as the Rams enter blowout territory.
