It was another tentative step forward for the Los Angeles Rams, as they bobbed up and down to a 20-12 victory Sunday, over the host Arizona Cardinals. L.A. came out flying sky high on offense, defense, and special teams. The offense scored on their first three drives, the defense forced three 3-and-outs and a four play drive to start the game and the special teams (ST) blocked a punt in Arizona territory.
the Cardinals have been outscored 31-0 in the first quarter this year
14-0 vs KC
7-0 vs LV
10-0 vs LAR— Warren Sharp (@SharpFootball) September 25, 2022But for the offense and defense, that first quarter proved to be a sugar rush and lethargy would take hold over most of the second and third quarters before the Rams got another energizing dose as the third quarter concluded.
