Cam Jordan reveals how the Saints plan to disrupt 4-time Pro Bowl Rams QB Matthew Stafford’s rhythm – and why this Week 9 matchup could define New Orleans’ entire season.

New Orleans, Louisiana – November 1, 2025

Veteran defensive end Cameron Jordan took the podium at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center on Friday afternoon, just two days before the New Orleans Saints face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 9. Calm, confident, and smiling as always, the 35-year-old captain of the Saints’ defense delivered a message filled with respect — and a firm reminder that his team isn’t done fighting.

“Everyone knows what Stafford can do when he’s in rhythm,” Jordan said with a grin. “He’s a four-time Pro Bowler for a reason — if you give him time, he’ll carve you up. But we’ve seen something on tape, a little tendency we think we can use. Let’s just say — if we get to him early, things could look very different on Sunday.”

The comments came during the Saints’ regular pregame press conference, as the 1–7 Saints prepare to take on the 4–4 Rams at SoFi Stadium. Despite the rough season, Jordan spoke like a leader determined to restore pride to a defense being reshaped under head coach Kellen Moore and defensive coordinator Brandon Staley.

The Saints’ defense, currently near the bottom of the NFC in sacks and takeaways, is expected to blitz more often against Stafford. Jordan pointed to the Rams’ offensive line as a key vulnerability.

“They’ve allowed more than two sacks a game,” he said. “If Carl Granderson or I can get to Stafford early, it could flip the momentum. That’s the kind of spark we need.”

When asked about Sean McVay’s Rams offense, Jordan praised their balance but noted where the Saints can attack.

“They run the ball well with Kyren Williams, but they rely heavily on Stafford and Puka Nacua,” he explained. “If we can shut down Nacua, Stafford’s going to look for Kupp — and that’s when our secondary, even without Tyrann (Mathieu), can make plays.”

Despite the adversity, Jordan’s tone wasn’t defeated — it was defiant.

“Don’t look at the record,” he said. “Look at the fight. The Rams might look better on paper, but the Saints have heart — we’ve got the soul of New Orleans. We’re going to play this one like it’s the Super Bowl.”

Before walking away, Jordan turned to the cameras with one final message for the fans:

“Who Dat Nation — keep that energy coming. Even on the road, we feel it.”

For a team searching for its identity, Cam Jordan’s words weren’t just talk — they were a reminder that the heart of New Orleans still beats loud and proud.
