ST. LOUIS – Chris Johnson and Andre Ellington were injured, but it mattered little to the Cardinals.
Plugging running backs David Johnson and Kerwynn Williams into the lineup would work. Of that, the Cardinals and coach Bruce Arians were confident. Sunday, the Cardinals rushed for 175 yards, Arians compared Johnson to a “young Edgerrin James” and said Williams was a “December killer,” and win number 10 was delivered in a 27-3 domination of the Rams at the Edward Jones Dome.
“They stepped up big,” tackle Jared Veldheer said of Johnson and Williams.
