Some of the most memorable home moments in an underrated and unusual Saints-Rams rivalry.

By Bob Rose - Saints News Network | SI

The New Orleans Saints return from a bye week to square off against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday inside the Caesars Superdome. New Orleans comes in with a 4-7 record after winning two straight under interim coach Darren Rizzi. The Rams are 5-6 after losing two of their last three, including last week at home against the Eagles.

This game renews a long rivalry between these franchises. The Saints and Rams were longtime NFC West rivals for 31 years between 1970 and 2001. Before league realignment in 2002, the Saints (2000) and St. Louis Rams (1999 and 2001) alternated the last three NFC West championships.

Sunday's game will be the 80th all-time meeting between these two franchises, including two postseason matchups. The Rams relocated to St. Louis from 1995 to 2015 before moving back to the west coast, but the rivalry always remained intact.

New Orleans has just a 35-44 record against the Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams, with a 26-31 mark against them when the Rams were located in L.A. The Saints haven't had much success on the road in these matchups. However, they are a more respectable 19-20 at home against the Rams. That includes a 15-14 record during the years that the Rams called Los Angeles home.
