Rams Aim to Recapture Form Against Struggling Cardinals
3 Jan
Summary
- Cardinals seek to avoid worst season with star WR Harrison Jr. out.
- Rams QB Stafford aims to rebound after a season-high interceptions.
- WR Michael Wilson needs 93 yards for his first 1,000-yard season.
The Los Angeles Rams will face the Arizona Cardinals in their final regular-season game, seeking to regain their momentum after two consecutive losses. Coach Sean McVay faces the challenge of playing starters to recapture their Super Bowl aspirations while ensuring player health for the upcoming postseason. The Cardinals, with a 3-13 record, have lost eight straight games and will be without key player Marvin Harrison Jr. due to injury.
Individually, Cardinals receiver Michael Wilson is on the cusp of his first 1,000-yard receiving season, needing 93 yards against the Rams. Meanwhile, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, who previously dominated the Cardinals' defense, will look to bounce back from a game with a season-high three interceptions. The Cardinals' defense has struggled significantly, allowing an average of 35 points during their losing streak.
The Rams have historically dominated the series, winning 15 of the last 18 matchups. However, they have experienced some regular-season losses at SoFi Stadium. With the postseason approaching, the Rams' commitment to playing their starters for the entire game remains uncertain, potentially opening opportunities for players like rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson.
