Los Angeles Rams Team News
The Los Angeles Rams lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week in a last second. That’s how they fell to 3-5 and they have a long and difficult road ahead of them to finish regular season among top seven teams in the NFC. Otherwise, reigning NFL champions won’t be in the playoffs.
The Rams defense has been more than solid this season, but their offense is completely underpowered. Only reason for such a thing is offensive line, which has been butchered by injuries. Matthew Stafford doesn’t have enough time to throw the ball which results in a lot of incomplete passes. Also, run game is non-existent due to same reason. From one of the best offenses in the NFL, the Rams now completely depend on the performance of their defense.
Good thing for the Rams this weekend is that the Cardinals aren’t shining either. Sean McVay has a great record against Kliff Kingsbury and he will surely have something new prepared. In any case, if they don’t win, the Rams lose all realistic chances to play in the playoffs.
Arizona Cardinals Team News
The Arizona Cardinals are in even worse situation than the Los Angeles Rams. It is already clear that this is a lost season for them and they can slowly prepare for next year. Absolutely no one expected such a thing within this franchise.
Head coach Kliff Kingsbury signed a six-year contract extension between two seasons. If that hadn’t happened, he would almost certainly been fired. Because of long contract, he could get another chance to prove himself. Absolutely every part of roster experienced regression and the Cardinals went from the best team in the division to the worst in a very short time. When saga around Kyler Murray and his dissatisfaction at the end of last season started, something like this could be expected.
The Cardinals will be playing for honor and some people’s jobs until end of the season. A team built to contend for a Super Bowl appearance is a contender for one of top positions in 2023 Draft, which means someone will have to shoulder the responsibility.
H2H
Eight times these two teams played against each other since Kliff Kingsbury became head coach of the Arizona Cardinals. Since then, score is 7-1 for the Los Angeles Rams. In first clash this season in September, it was 20:12 for the Rams in Arizona.
Injuries
Malcolm Brown, Travin Howard and Greg Gaines didn’t practice on Wednesday and they probably won’t play in this game for the Rams. Matthew Stafford also didn’t practice. He was in concussion protocol but he should be able to play on Sunday.
Charles Washington, Budda Baker, Willy Hernandez and Antwaun Woods are injured and won’t play for the Arizona Cardinals.
Los Angeles Rams vs. Arizona Cardinals Prediction
It’s time for the Rams to show their winning mentality. Unlike the Cardinals, they can still turn around this season, but they must triumph on Sunday night.
