Rams take down Cardinals, 26-9: Instant analysis of Week 6 win

The Rams woke up in the 2nd half and handled the Cardinals, beating them convincingly by a score of 26-9 at home

The Los Angeles Rams were in desperate need of a bounce-back win after losing to the Philadelphia Eagles, and in the first half against the Arizona Cardinals, it looked like they were destined for a second straight loss.

Then, they woke up.

In the second half – a half that has killed the Rams all season – Los Angeles dominated by scoring 23 unanswered points and pulling away from the Cardinals. It was largely thanks to Kyren Williams, who rushed for 154 yards and a touchdown in the second half alone after having just 4 yards in the first 30 minutes.

The Rams completely shut down the Cardinals in the second half, forcing two turnovers and allowing zero points on the scoreboard. It was a much-needed victory for the Rams, who are now 3-3 and only a half-game back of the Seahawks in the NFC West and two games behind the 49ers.
