Arizona Cardinans vs. Los Angeles Rams game summary
The first quarter was defeined by one thing: punts - five straight of them. The monotony was brokenup when the Cardinals committed a turnover on downs in the second quarter.
Another exchange of punts folowed before Kyren Williams finally ended the drought with a touchdown rush.
Another Cradinals punt led to a field goal before the end of the first half.
The Cardinals finally broke through in the third quarter, when Kyler Murray found Trey McBride in the endzone for a short catch (the extra point was blocked, however):
Then they forced a punt on the Rams’ next drive and punished it with a field goal. The Rams, however, did not take long before hitting a field goal of their own to increase the lead to four.
Then Kamren Kinchens intercepted Murray, only for the ensuing drive to stall and end in a punt. The Cardinals managed to push all the way to the 1, only for Ahkello Witherspoon to steal the pass.
