The Rams botched two opportunities to lock up a playoff berth against the Jets and Seahawks in the last two weeks. They’ll get a third chance on Sunday when they host the Cardinals, once again a win-and-you’re-in situation for L.A.
The Cardinals can also secure a postseason berth with a victory over the Rams, so there are huge playoff implications in this NFC West showdown. This is a game that’s easy to get excited about, especially after watching the hype video that the Rams shared on Twitter.
Narrated by Rams play-by-play announcer J.B. Long, the video sets the stage for this huge season finale at SoFi Stadium.

Rams-Cardinals will kick off at the same time as Bears-Packers, at 4:25 p.m. ET, which will also be a determining game for the NFC playoff picture. They’ll be on different networks, too, so watching them simultaneously will be thrilling as the season comes down to the wire.
