The Arizona Cardinals come into Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams sitting in the 7th NFC Playoff spot

Here we are, week 12 and the Arizona Cardinals (6-5) are fighting for their playoff lives.  They also happen to be playing the Los Angeles Rams (7-4) who they are fighting for playoff and NFC West positioning.

Both teams are in a playoff spot at the moment.  However the Cardinals come in with a 6-game losing streak to the Rams.  The last Cardinals victory in the series was in January 2017 at the end of the 2016 season.

What: Los Angeles Rams at Arizona Cardinals

Where: State Farm Stadium, Glendale, AZ

When: Sunday December 6th, 2020 2:05 p.m.

TV/Radio: FOX 10 (Chris Myers, Brock Huard, Greg Jennings)

The Cardinals are coming off a loss to the New England Patriots, a game in which they should have easily won.  However failure to score on fourth down at the end of the first half and a missed field goal late did them in.

As for the Rams, they too are coming off a loss.  They were swept by the San Francisco 49ers.  Now both teams continue their fight for a playoff spot. A loss by the Cardinals on Sunday would be more devastating to chances than that of the Rams.
