Two early most valuable player candidates — quarterback Jared Goff and running back Todd Gurley — are helping the Rams average 33 points a game. And they will need to keep the pace to stay with a Saints team that averages 33.4. The Rams, the NFL’s top rushing team, could be challenged by the league’s top defense against the run. The Rams’ offense will be at full strength with the return of receiver Cooper Kupp, who was sidelined the last two games because of a knee injury. Goff was sacked five times in last Sunday’s victory over the Packers, and he has been sacked 11 times in the last three games.
