Football is a deceptively simple game. If your offense creates big plays and your defense prevents big plays, your team is probably gonna do pretty well.
The Rams have produced six offensive plays of 40-plus yards, the most in the NFL. The Cardinals have produced 15 passing plays of 20-plus yards, the third-highest figure (Raiders, Buccaneers) in the NFL.
The Cardinals have allowed just four passing plays and two rushes of 20-plus yards. They rank second in the NFL (Bills) on DVOA against deep passes; more on that in a moment.
The Rams have allowed nine passes and one rush of 20-plus yards.
