In a game that could have taken an hour of travel will now take 12 to get to the destination.  The Cardinals play their annual road game against the Rams this season in London.

Now it has been suggested that a number of Birdgang fans are headed east for the adventure. Honestly though it doesn’t matter which time zone they play in, the Rams are notg to the Cardinals level yet.

That however doesn’t mean that the Rams can’t win.  They’ve beaten the Cardinals one time in each of the past couple of years.  The Rams will still have quarterback Jared Goff and running back Todd Gurley.

The Cardinals defense though usually does a decent job of stopping whatever run the Rams try to establish against them.  The Rams have used special teams and the passing game to beat the Cardinals recently.

Let’s hope the fanfare of playing overseas doesn’t distract the Cardinals too much.  It shouldn’t be an issue in the end.
