The Arizona Cardinals and the Los Angeles Rams faced off twice in the regular season, with decidedly different results. Arizona whomped up on the Rams 37-20 in Week 14, and Sean McVay got Kliff Kingsbury back in Week 14 when the Rams won, 30-23.
On Thursday, Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury discussed the challenges of facing one team three times in the same season.
“We’re starting from scratch, there’s no question. Normally I like to get ahead, but it was hard to get ahead not knowing who your opponent was going to be. We really dabbled in a few of the possible opponents, watched some tape on each one, so it’s been a busy week trying to get caught up because we’re not in our regular process. Anytime you play a team three times, you have film from previous games you can look at, see what went worked, what didn’t, how you can adjust things, how they can adjust things, and just kind of do your best from there.”
If the Cardinals are to do their best, and win the first playoff game of the Kingsbury era, they’ll have to pay attention to these three things.
