The Cardinals ran 35 more plays, had 26 more yards and held the ball for almost eight minutes more than the Rams on Sunday. Yet, it was Los Angeles that came away with a big Week 3 win, beating Arizona by a score of 20-12.
It was the Rams’ 11th win in 12 tries against the Cardinals since 2017, continuing their dominance against their division rivals. It was “only” an eight-point win, but it sure felt like much more than that – and it should’ve been, too.
The end result was a weird one-possession win by the Rams in a game that felt like they controlled from start to finish. If you didn’t watch the game, the highlight package below will help explain what happened and how the Rams went on to win by eight points.
Among the notable plays were Cooper Kupp’s 20-yard touchdown run, Michael Hoecht’s blocked punt, Cam Akers’ 14-yard touchdown and his fumble on the goal line in the fourth quarter.
