Cardinals – Rams (7-34): Los Angeles on display | Touchdown News (NFL News)

Arizona Cardinals (3-8-1) – Los Angeles Rams (7-5) : 7-34

In a game at stake, the Los Angeles Rams took control of the game from the start to never let go of their grip on the Cardinals. The first half looked like a long nightmare for Kyler Murray and his teammates, with total LA dominance:

– 390 yards for the Rams against 63 for the Cards
– 21 minutes of possession against 9
– 20 points to 0

Arizona did not have the solutions and the Rams managed quietly in the second half.

Jared Goff and Todd Gurley and Fashion 2018

Author of a disappointing season, Jared Goff (32/43, 424 yards and 2 TD) made his best match this season, well helped by an efficient Todd Gurley (115 yards and 1 TD). The start of the match was however slow, with two first drives concluded by a successful field goal and another missed. (3-0)

But Robert Woods (172 yards) and Tyler Higbee (107 yards, 1 TD) will take advantage of the largesse of the Arizona defense to find the redzone, with much higher efficiency. Goff will first find his tight end Higbee for 2 yards before Gurley also marks his touchdown while powerful. (17-0)

The Rams will even add a field goal at the end of the half, to take 20 points ahead of the break.

Kyler Murray in trouble

After a rather promising rookie season, Kyler Murray (15/27, 134 yards and 1 INT, 25 yards and 1 TD in the race) came back down to earth during a match where he was constantly challenged. The young rookie has been sacked 6 times, including an impressive one by Aaron Donald who knocked the player down with one arm.

And this constant pressure will not decrease in the second half, pushing the young pitcher to his limits.

Rams confirm and sign

While the Cardinals still have the opportunity to return to this game, they will definitely take the water in the third quarter. While Goff will find Cooper Kupp for a touchdown, it is the pick six of the rookie Taylor Rapp who will definitively put an end to the hopes of the men of Kliff Kingsbury. (34-0)

Cardinals save honor

In a carefree end to the game, the Arizona players will finally score points through Murray, who concludes an 80-yard drive in the fourth quarter. Insufficient therefore for the frankness which cash a very severe defeat.
