Welcome to Week 9 and Game Thread #8 of the 2018 New Orleans Saints season.

Can you believe we're already halfway through the season?

Bust out your favorite Az Hakim reference because it's the big game against the no longer in St. Louis Rams



Of course... last season the Saints saw their 8-game win streak end in Los Angeles to the Rams... now our beloved Crescent City football team can return the favor by ending LAR's 8-game win streak today inside the friendly confines of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The Saints are coming off perhaps their biggest win of the season, a 30-20 road win to exorcise the demons in Minnesota, while the Rams forced a late turnover to preserve a close home win over Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.

Injury wise... the Saints will be without their big rookie as Marcus Davenport has been ruled out of this contest with a toe injury... while the Rams seem relatively healthy with CB Sam Shields the only one listed as "questionable" or worse... and he's questionable with just an illness, not an actual injury.

IT'S THE BATTLE FOR FIRST IN THE NFC!!! LET'S MAKE OUR CLAIM TO THE #1 SEED AND KEEP ON ROLLING!!! WHO DAT!!!

Uniforms: The Saints will be in the all-black uniforms today
