Take a look at Week 3’s studs and duds list from the Cardinals’ loss to the Rams.
The Arizona Cardinals failed to capitalize on a golden opportunity to take first place in the NFC West in their 20-12 loss to the Los Angeles Rams Sunday afternoon at State Farm Stadium.
Defensively, the Cardinals played well and gave their offense plenty of chances to take control of the game. The offensive struggles came against a decimated Rams secondary (outside of Jalen Ramsey).
With that said, let’s take a look at this week’s studs and duds list.
The Los Angeles Chargers went into Monday night’s game against the Raiders with the obvious hope of getting pressure on Derek Carr. And, well, it’s safe to say that the Chargers perfectly executed that defensive game plan.
Carr was sacked four times and took seven hits from the Chargers defense — all while being head to a sub-200-yard passing game — in a 28-14 loss.
When it came time for Chargers star defensive end Joey Bosa to speak in the postgame press conference, he took some spectacularly hilarious and unintentional jabs at Carr. To make it even better, Bosa made the remarks in his usual monotonous delivery.
“We knew once we hit him a few times, he really gets shook. And you saw on (Christian Covington’s) sack, he was pretty much curling into a ball before we even got back there. So, great dude, great player, he’s been having a great year. But we know once you get pressure on him, he kind of shuts down and he’s not as effective with the crowded pocket. So, that was the key to it.”
That was so cold, Joey. I like how Bosa hedged it all with a couple compliments before ripping Carr’s heart out.
Great dude, great player … BUT he does this if you hit him:
The Los Angeles Rams will face the Arizona Cardinals in the final week of the 2020 regular season from SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

Both teams are fighting for a playoff spot with the winner of this game earning a spot in the playoffs. Kyler Murray is ready to go after the injury to his leg while Jared Goff is out due to injury, and John Wolford will get the start for the Rams. This comes down to which team wants it more and should be a fun game to watch.

Prediction: I like the Rams in this spot and will take them and the free point in this matchup. The Rams should be ready to play today and see them making the playoffs with defense being the difference in this game.
Bet: Los Angeles Rams +1

The Cardinals have lost two in a row and will look to right the ship today against a Rams team who is fighting for a playoff spot in the NFC. Meanwhile, the Rams are coming off a tough loss to the 49ers last week on a last-second field goal and Sean McVay absolutely needs a win today to stay in the playoff race.

A pivotal matchup in the NFC will take place on Sunday between the Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams.
The Arizona Cardinals’ 20-17 loss to the New England Patriots was brutal in more ways than I’d like to recall.
It is now December in the NFL. No loss in the past matters, as this month decides whether the Cardinals make the playoffs for the first time since 2015. They can finish anywhere from 6-10 to 11-5, so the stakes are very high.
The Cardinals should be entering this game at 7-4. At 6-5, however, things get a bit more complicated. Their opponent on Sunday, the Los Angeles Rams, are 7-4 following a loss to the surging San Francisco 49ers.
This Sunday features two teams who both desperately need this win and are coming off painful losses.
The Cardinals and Rams clash in the NFL’s regular season finale. Kyler Murray is in doubt to play and Chandler Jones has the chance to make history.

Another season nears its conclusion without a postseason spot for the Cardinals, yet something feels much different this time around. There is much more hope for the future surrounding this team as opposed to the others who failed to reach the playoffs.
Leading the Cardinals in Week 17 will be Offensive Rookie of the Year candidate Kyler Murray (if his hamstring holds up) and Defensive Player of the Year candidate Chandler Jones.
If the large sum of cap space and draft capital are used correctly this offseason, the Cardinals may very well be in the playoff conversation in 2020. But that’s a conversation for another day. In the meantime, the Cards have one more game to close out a frustrating, yet promising 2019 campaign.
Time for our Week 17 preview between the Cardinals and the Los Angeles Rams. Read on. . .
The Los Angeles Rams will take on the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday as the Cards look to start the end of the season strong. Can Kyler Murray lead the team to their first victory since October?

The Arizona Cardinals aren’t in playoff contention anymore, although they are not technically eliminated from the playoff race. Despite this, the overall mood of the locker room feels optimistic. The surrounding view of the team is far different than it was at this time last year. While a victory Sunday can’t propel them into the postseason, they can play spoiler to a dreaded division rival.
Recent history hasn’t been kind to fans in the desert when facing the Rams. Los Angeles has dominated the Arizona Cardinals the past two years, outscoring them 130-25. That number includes two shutouts. For four games, Arizona had zero answers for the Sean McVay-Wade Phillips coaching combination.
This 2019 Cardinals team looks to be a lot different than the ones the Rams have played recently. Their record shows that of a ball club featuring a rookie head coach and quarterback, but the box scores show a team that has gone toe-to-toe with some of the league’s best.
This year’s Rams have had a fall from grace after nearly defeating the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl. They’re 6-5 and have sputtered out of control following a strong start to the season. Jared Goff has only eleven touchdown passes compared to twelve interceptions. They’ll be coming into Glendale on a short week following a 6-45 massacre at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens.
The Cardinals very nearly beat that same Ravens team in week two of the season, falling 17-23 after a beautiful pass from Lamar Jackson to Hollywood Brown on 3rd down and 13. That game looks more and more impressive for the Cards as the season moves along, as the Ravens are looking like the AFC favorite for the Super Bowl.
The Cardinals are refreshed after their bye week. In fact, it’s possible all 53 players on the active roster will be healthy this Sunday. Can they start the end of the season strong, or will they come out rusty and unprepared?
