The Rams defeated the New Orleans Saints 21-14 on Sunday at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

What we learned from a win that improved the Rams’ record to 6-6:

Kyren Williams is apparently back to himself

Rams running back Kyren Williams was aiming for a big game after fumbles marred his last few appearances. The third-year pro delivered, running for 104 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries.

“I felt like I was myself, myself and I,” Williams said, “and I went out there and played like that, and I played instinctive football.”

It was Williams’ first 100-yard rushing game since he ran for 102 yards in a loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 5.

“I have to continue to pay attention to the details,” he said, “continue to be who I am, continue to have fun in this game, because I feel like if I’m having fun, I can do a lot of things .”

Williams’ longest run was 17 yards. His next goal is to make a safety mistake by tackling him as he breaks the line of scrimmage.

“I can’t wait to get back to work on making this third level safety flaw,” he said. “I’m going to get the 60-yarder, and I can’t wait.”

Rookie back Blake Corum took advantage of the opportunity

Rookie running back Blake Corum, a third-round pick, was given a more prominent role and rushed for 42 yards on a season-high eight carries.

Corum, who played at Michigan, was elated that his old college team beat Ohio State on Saturday and the Rams won on Sunday.

“Two wins in two consecutive days,” he said. “You can’t beat that.”

Corum said coaches told him early last week to be prepared for a heavier workload. He averaged 5.3 yards per carry.

“I felt like I could get into a rhythm a little bit,” he said, “and the O-line worked phenomenally and I think Kyren and I fed off each other.”

Receiver Cooper Kupp has reached a milestone

Veteran receiver Cooper Kupp caught just three passes for 17 yards but set an NFL record for most catches in his first 100 games.

Kupp has 625 catches, one more than the Chicago Bears’ Keenan Allen in his first 100 games.

“It’s cool to be part of an organization that has put me in a position to do this,” Kupp said, adding, “We’re all asked to just do our jobs.”… Man Got to play with a lot of really good football players, be part of a lot of good coaches and just be thankful for the people I was able to play this game with.”

Kupp, the 2021 NFL Offensive Player of the Year, has 58 receptions this season, including five for touchdowns.

On Sunday, receiver Puka Nacua had five catches for 56 yards and a touchdown.

Receiver Demarcus Robinson, who was not suspended by the Rams after he was arrested last Monday on suspicion of driving under the influence, caught two passes for 49 yards and a touchdown.

Robinson’s 46-yard catch set up his three-yard touchdown reception, increasing the ninth-year pro’s career-best touchdown total to seven.

“He’s an important part of our team and our organization,” quarterback Matthew Stafford said. “I’m glad he came out and had success.”

Robinson had to leave the game due to a hand injury, but coach Sean McVay indicated the issue was not serious.

The defensive line made plays when it mattered most

A week after the Philadelphia Eagles’ Saquon Barkley rushed for 255 yards against the Rams, Saints running back Alvin Kamara ran for 112 yards.

The line came up big on the Saints’ final series when tackle Bobby Brown stopped Kamara at the Rams’ 10-yard line on a third-and-four play.

On fourth down, rookie edge rusher Jared Verse knocked the ball out of quarterback Derek Carr’s hand. The play was originally ruled a sack and fumble, but was converted to an incomplete pass after review.

Early in the game, rookie lineman Braden Fiske made a play that would have initially been a highlight when he returned an apparent fumble by Carr 58 yards to the end zone. Towards the end of the run, Fiske made a great move to trick a would-be tackler.

Upon review, the play was determined to be an incomplete pass.
