The New Orleans Saints have already won two straight since firing head coach Dennis Allen, following a seven-game losing streak. After a Week 12 bye, the Saints will face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday in a bid to extend their winning run to three games.
Even though the Rams' season isn't going as well as they'd have loved, they can still beat opponents in a number of ways. So, the Saints might need to be at their strongest when they welcome Los Angeles to the Caesars Superdome in Week 13.

The Saints will be missing offensive lineman Lucas Patrick this week against the Los Angeles Rams due to a calf injury. Patrick was DNP in practice throughout the week before he was ruled out on Friday.
DE Tanoh Kpassagnon (achilles), C Erik McCoy (groin), and RB Jamaal Williams (groin) have all been deemed questionable to play on Sunday by the team.
Tight end Foster Moreau (shoulder) and LB Pete Werner (hand), who also appeared on New Orleans' injury report this week, are not carrying any injury designation into the Week 13 game.
Lucas Patrick injury update
After missing the last two games due to a calf injury, it was believed that the week off would enable New Orleans Saints center Lucas Patrick to recover and return to the field.
Additionally, Patrick has missed four of the previous six games this season. He will now miss another game in Week 13 after the Saints ruled him out on their final injury report on Friday.
Erik McCoy injury update
Erik McCoy made his comeback to the New Orleans Saints lineup against the Cleveland Browns two weeks ago, following a seven-game absence because of a groin ailment. But during that Week 11 game, he re-injured his groin in the second half.
According to reports, McCoy missed the remainder of the game against Cleveland as a precaution, but after missing three consecutive practice sessions this week, it seems the injury is more serious than first believed.
Despite not practicing at all during the week, coach Darren Rizzi says McCoy is a game-time decision to play against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.
Jamaal Williams injury update
Running back Jamaal Williams has missed the last three games for the New Orleans Saints due to a groin injury.
During the week, Williams logged two consecutive limited practice appearances on Wednesday and Thursday before logging a full practice participation on Friday. He's designated questionable to play in Week 13.
Williams has only rushed for 124 yards and a touchdown this season.
