Week 13 Result: Lost vs. Los Angeles Rams 21-14
It’s unhealthy sufficient that the New Orleans misplaced a heartbreaker to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday and that there can be no playoffs within the Big Easy this yr. But damage was additionally added to insult.
Tight finish Taysom Hill has been a essential a part of the Saints offense this yr. When Hill left the sport with what’s believed to be a severe knee damage, Saints quarterback Derek Carr informed reporters it was each bit as devastating as shedding the sport.
“It’s the worst. I do not know something, y’all most likely know greater than me,” Carr stated. “Just as a brother and as a buddy, as a result of it is larger than soccer at that second. You know, his household, his youngsters, his spouse, , everyone. And your coronary heart simply breaks. (Rams) Coach (Sean) McVay, (was) heartbroken for him. (Matthew) Stafford walks up speaking to me, , heartbroken for him. In that second, it type of pauses the sport a part of it and the competitiveness, and also you simply really feel for somebody, particularly like that.”
Taysom Hill’s damage is the most recent blow to a Saints group that merely refuses to surrender on the 2024 season. I do not suppose the rapid future in New Orleans is especially shiny—Derek Carr most likely is not a long-term reply, and the 2025 cap state of affairs is horrendous—however the Saints aren’t rolling over for anybody underneath interim coach Darren Rizzi.
It’s most likely too late for the Saints to make a playoff push, particularly if Hill misses prolonged time, however New Orleans cannot be seen as a simple win. — Knox
