The Arizona Cardinals blew out the L.A. Rams on Sunday 41-10 at State Farm Stadium to pick up their 1st win of the season. It was their first win over the Rams at home since 2014, the game that Carson Palmer tore his ACL and Drew Stanton came in and threw a game-winning touchdown pass.
The Cardinals did it in dominating fashion, with Kyler Murray, James Conner and Marvin Harrison Jr. all having fantastic days.
