NEW ORLEANS -- Los Angeles Rams rookie quarterback Jared Goff threw his first career touchdown pass in the first drive of his second NFL game and finished the first half with three of them, a bright spot in an otherwise demoralizing 49-21 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.In the opening possession from Mercedes-Benz Superdome - one of the games loudest environments - Goff took a snap from the shotgun and tossed a perfect, 24-yard lob to 5-foot-8 receiver Tavon Austin, giving the Rams an early 7-0 lead. It completed a drive that began with a 31-yard catch-and-run to running back Todd Gurley and also included a 17-yard back-shoulder throw to primary receiver Kenny Britt.We got a good look; a look we kind of expected on that play, Goff said. I actually didnt think it was going to be complete when I threw it. I thought I threw it a little bit inside, but he made a good play on it.Goff also lost a fumble deep in his own territory and later threw his first career interception, on a short pass intended for tight end Lance Kendricks. But the latter came in the second half, with a third-string left tackle, Andrew Donnal, forced into action and the Saints offense increasingly putting the game out of reach.Later in the first half, Goff completed a six-yard pass to Britt on a slant route immediately after Aaron Donalds strip-sack gave the Rams optimal field position. And just before halftime, Goff capped an impressive eight-play, 79-yard drive with a 15-yard pass to Kendricks, making him the first Rams quarterback since Sam Bradford in 2010 with three touchdown passes in one half.Goff finished his first road game 20 of 32 for 214 yards - but he remains winless as a starter.I dont think there are any moral victories, said Goff, who operated under a very conservative game plan in a loss to the Miami Dolphins last Sunday. I obviously felt a lot more comfortable in my second game, just from experience. I felt better out there. I was able to see it a lot better and was able to slow it down a little bit. But at the same time, I want to win.

PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers right tackle Marcus Gilbert is dealing with an elbow injury he deemed as significant, while defensive end Cam Heyward has a high right ankle sprain.Both starters vowed Sunday to be ready for the teams regular-season opener in two weeks at Washington.Heyward and Gilbert left Fridays preseason game against New Orleans in the second quarter. Two days later, Gilbert wore a sleeve on his left elbow in the locker room and Heyward had a protective boot on his right foot.I think we have a lot of time and it works in our favor that were playing Monday (in the season opener), Heyward said. Im going to use that to my advantage.Gilbert, who hyperextended his left elbow against the Saints, was also dealing with a shoulder injury to the same arm that forced him to miss time during the preseason. Gilbert said the elbow is something he can play through.Theres no way Im missing that first game, Gilbert said. Ill be there no matter what.Gilbert, the Steelers second-round pick in 2011, missed four games the previous three seasons. He allowed just one sack last season while shutting down several of the top pass rushers in the league, including Super Bowl MVP Von Miller in the regular season and playoffs.Gilbert said he doesnt have to undergo surgery now, but may need it in the future. He is being evaluated by renowned surgeon Dr. James Andrews.I can play on it now, Gilbert said. Its something that just has to heal. Its not going to be something that keeps me off the field.Since entering the NFL as the Steelers first-round pick in 2011, Heyward has appeared in 80 consecutive games, tied for the fifth-longest active streak by a defensive end.ddddddddddddI take pride in not missing games, Heyward said. Its Week 1, Im going to be there.Heywards high ankle sprain could jeopardize that streak. He said his injury was in between a mild Grade 1 and moderate Grade 2 sprain.They couldnt differentiate much from where I was right after into where I am now, Heyward said. I should be ready for the game.Heyward was the victim of a cut block against the Saints. He stayed in for another play before leaving the field with an ice bag taped to his ankle.Pittsburgh can ill afford to lose Heyward, a defensive leader who played 88 percent of the teams snaps last season and led the Steelers in sacks the previous two years. Heyward and Stephon Tuitt have teamed to give the Steelers one of the most formidable tandems at defensive end. Tuitt, who enters his third season, has no problem stepping up if Heyward is forced to miss time.Thats the worst-case scenario and I dont think thats going to happen, Tuitt said. But if it did happen, it would be up to me to step in as the leader and do it.Game notes The Steelers placed offensive tackle Jerald Hawkins, their fourth-round pick, on injured reserve with a torn labrum, while quarterback Dustin Vaughan was waived injured. The team also reduced its roster to 79 players prior to Tuesdays league-mandated 75-player deadline. Included on the list was 2014 sixth-round pick Jordan Zumwalt.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
