After dropping games in two consecutive weeks, the 11-5 Los Angels Rams will host the 3-13 Arizona Cardinals Sunday January 4 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Ca. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:25 p.m. PST. It\u2019s Week 18, the final weekend of the NFL regular season. L.A. will move on to the playoffs, while the RedBirds will head out on vacation. The Rams aren\u2019t the only team in this matchup on a losing streak, while L.A. has dropped a pair, the Cards are in the throes of an eight-game losing funk.<\/p>\n
Arizona will likely give the Rams secondary a full days work, having thrown the most passes in the NFL 10-year NFL veteran Jacoby Brissett took over in Week 6 after Cardinal QB#1 Kyler Murray suffered a foot injury and was subsequently shelved for the season. Murray\u2019s uneven play and losing record over his career has gotten his first coach, Kliff Kingsbury fired and his current skipper, Jonathon Gannon on the hot seat.<\/p>\n
The two teams share a long history in head-to-head matchups, all the way back to 1937. At the that time, the Cardinals were based in Chicago while the Rams were home in Cleveland. The Rams moved to Los Angeles for the 1946 season, but the Cards stayed in the City of Big Shoulders until a 1960 move to St. Louis. The rivalry remained in those two cities for 27 years. In 1987, the RedBirds moved west to Phoenix and the Rams moved into the vacated Gateway to the West a handful of years later. The Cardinals are still in the greater Phoenix area while the Rams came back west to L.A, in 2017.<\/p>\n
Over those 88 years, the Rams hold a 52-41-2 advantage. Since Sean McVay took the L.A. reins in 2017, he\u2019s dominated with a 15-4 record.<\/p>\n
