The Rams were starting to fall out of favor in the NFC after their three-game losing streak, which dropped their record to 7-4. But with a bounce-back win over the Jaguars last week, they got back on track – just in time to upset the Cardinals on the road without six of their starters.
They beat Arizona 30-23 on Monday night, holding off a late charge by the Cardinals, who recovered an onside kick in the final minute to at least make things interesting. Aaron Donald stepped up, as did Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp.
There were also role players who rose to the occasion, helping the Rams come away with a much-needed win against the NFC leaders.
