Akhello Witherspoon stole Kyler Murray’s Christmas by securing a game-winning interception that bounced off Trey McBride’s helmet. The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Arizona Cardinals 13-9 in Week 17.
This victory gives LA their 10th win on the season as they look to put a bow on their improbable comeback after a 1-4 start. The Rams are hoping they get the help they need from other teams to seal the NFC West division before their Week 18 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks rolls around.
After the Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Denver Broncos on Saturday night, the Rams just need three wins from the following teams out of these five games in order to wrap up the division title:
- Washington Commanders over Atlanta Falcons
- Buffalo Bills over New York Jets
- Minnesota Vikings over Green Bay Packers
- Cleveland Browns over Miami Dolphins
- San Francisco 49ers over Detroit Lions
Pessimists would call this LA’s third-straight ugly win, but the bottom line is they are staying on the right side of these outcomes and are putting together a strong streak ahead of a potential postseason berth.
