NEW ORLEANS — Matthew Stafford passed for two fourth-quarter touchdowns, Kyren Williams rushed for 104 yards and a score, and the Los Angeles Rams beat New Orleans 21-14 to hand interim Saints coach Darren Rizzi his first loss. The Saints drove inside the Rams 10-yard line in the final minutes, but Derek Carr's pass on fourth-and-3 was deflected from behind by edge rusher Jared Verse and fell incomplete. Stafford's scoring passes went for 3 yards to Demarcus Robinson and 7 yards to Puca Nacua. Saints tight end Taysom Hill injured his left knee and was carted off the field after converting a late fourth-and-short run. The Saints lone TD came on Carr's 28-yard pass to Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
