State Farm Stadium Showdown: Los Angeles Rams Overcome Arizona Cardinals
The Los Angeles Rams recorded a 20-12 victory over the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium. The Rams improved their season to 5-12, while the Cardinals fell to 4-13.
In a display of offensive versatility, the Los Angeles Rams amassed a total of 339 yards against the Arizona Cardinals. The ground game was particularly effective, with the team rushing for 100 yards across 20 attempts, achieving an average of five yards per carry. This effort was highlighted by two rushing touchdowns, one being a notable 20-yard dash into the end zone.
The aerial attack complemented the rushing success as quarterback play led to completing 72 percent of passes for a total of 249 passing yards. The longest pass completion stretched for an impressive distance of 32 yards and contributed significantly to achieving ten first downs through air travel alone.
Special teams also played their part in securing victory; field goal kickers were perfect on the day, converting both attempts with one splitting the uprights from forty yards out. Additionally, all five kickoffs resulted in touchbacks due to strong legwork that sent each kickoff into or beyond the endzone.
Defensively, The Rams showcased their ability to disrupt plays behind enemy lines by accumulating two sacks and five tackles for loss which pushed back opponents by twenty-three combined yards. Moreover, they forced three three-and-outs and stopped a fourth-down attempt that stifled any momentum built by The Cardinals' offense.
Punt returns were another area where Los Angeles excelled; four returns totaled forty-four yards with one return stretching twenty-two yards downfield setting up advantageous field position.
