The Rams were listed as underdogs all throughout the week leading up to Monday’s game against the Cardinals. Then came the COVID-19 complications, causing five starters to miss the Week 14 contest – including Jalen Ramsey and Tyler Higbee, who returned positive tests on Monday just before the game.
Ramsey was forced to watch the game on TV and he was tuned in the whole time. As badly as he would’ve loved to be out there helping his team beat the Cardinals, he was thrilled to see his teammates come up with the 30-23 win on the road.
Here’s how he and other Rams players reacted to the victory afterwards on Twitter, celebrating their ninth win of the year.

David Long Jr. apologized after the game, presumably for his dropped interception late in the fourth quarter. It would’ve ended the game and secured the win, but the Cardinals ended up making a field goal and getting one last shot after recovering the onside kick.
Had the Rams blown this game, a lot of people would’ve looked at Long’s dropped pick as a missed opportunity.
i’m sorry af for that. Bless my heart.
