NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Andy Dalton passed for three touchdowns, Mathew Stafford left to be evaluated for a concussion and the New Orleans Saints defeated the reeling Los Angeles Rams 27-20 on Sunday. Stafford left the game in the third quarter, two days after being cleared to return from the NFL’s concussion protocol. Before Stafford went out he completed 11 of 18 passes for 159 yards and two touchdowns, including a 62-yarder to Tutu Atwell. Dalton completed 21 of 25 passes for 260 yards, including a 53-yard touchdown pass to Chris Olave. The Rams’ loss dropped the defending champions to a fourth straight loss and 3-7 record while the Saints snapped a two-game skid and improved to 4-7.
