INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- If one moment captured how soundly the Los Angeles Rams beat the Arizona Cardinals, it was Odell Beckham Jr.'s completion to Cam Akers down the right sideline. Everything seemed to work for the Rams' offense, even a receiver throwing deep to a running back on a trick play that had proved difficult to execute in windy conditions during the week of practice leading up to Monday night's wild-card playoff game.
It was also an illustration of how dominant the Rams' defense was. Because once Akers hauled in that 40-yard completion, Beckham had 12 more passing yards than Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray had thrown for at that point of the game.
