State Farm Stadium Showdown: Arizona Cardinals vs Los Angeles Rams
As the Arizona Cardinals prepare to welcome the Los Angeles Rams to State Farm Stadium, fans are eager for a glimpse of redemption. The Cardinals' recent performance has been less than stellar, with a 2-9 record that speaks volumes about their struggles this season. However, football is a game of any given Sunday, and the upcoming match on November 26th could be a turning point for the home team.
In their last outing on November 19th against the Houston Texans, the Cardinals fell short with a score of 16-21. Despite this loss, there were glimmers of hope in their play. The defense managed four sacks and three interceptions while holding possession for nearly 29 minutes. Their offense was able to put up over 300 total yards with an average gain of 5.5 yards per play.
The rushing game showed promise as well; they averaged nearly five yards per carry and secured one touchdown on the ground. The special teams also shone brightly with a field goal from an impressive distance of 57 yards.
However, it's not all sunshine for ARI; they turned over the ball twice and accumulated five penalties amounting to fifty penalty yards which certainly didn't help their cause.
Looking back at their November 12th victory over Atlanta Falcons might provide some much-needed confidence boosters though. Playing at home seems to suit them better as they eked out a win with two rushing touchdowns contributing significantly to their total score of twenty-five points against ATL's twenty-three.
Yet it's important not to overlook that in Week Nine (November fifth), ARI was shut out by Cleveland Browns without scoring any points while allowing twenty-seven against them – highlighting some serious offensive issues that need addressing if they're going to compete effectively against LA.
The Los Angeles Rams come into this game after having had their own set of challenges throughout this season but still hold a better record than ARI does currently – something that will surely add an extra layer of competition between these two teams vying for victory under Glendale's lights.
Fans should expect ARI’s defense to bring pressure early and often in hopes of disrupting LA’s rhythm while offensively seeking balance between air attacks and ground gains – aiming not only for touchdowns but also controlling clock time effectively throughout all four quarters.
With kickoff scheduled at State Farm Stadium on November twenty-sixth at four o'clock PM local time (MST), fans can catch all action live on FOX network where every down will count towards defining Arizona Cardinal’s season trajectory moving forward into December games ahead.
