Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp Lead Rams Past Kyler Murray, Cardinals in MNF Showdown

The NFC West race isn't over yet.

The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Arizona Cardinals 30-23 in Monday's divisional showdown at State Farm Stadium. Matthew Stafford was brilliant and led the way for the victors, who improved to 9-4 with their second straight win.

Arizona is still in first place but fell to 10-3 despite two touchdowns from James Conner. It is now tied with the Green Bay Packers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the race for the NFC's only first-round bye.

It had an opportunity to tie the game and force overtime after recovering an onside kick in the final minute, but time expired after Kyler Murray was sacked by Aaron Donald.
