The Rams look to end their two-game losing streak and head into the playoffs with a win against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday at SoFi Stadium.
After losing to the Seattle Seahawks and Atlanta Falcons, the Rams are 11-5 heading into the game against the struggling Cardinals (3-13) at SoFi Stadium.
Depending on the outcome of Saturday’s game between the Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers (12-4), the Rams could be seeded No. 5 or No. 6 for the NFC playoffs.
If the Seahawks beat the 49ers in what amounts to an NFC West championship game and the Rams, currently seeded No. 6, beat the Cardinals, the Rams will move up to No. 5.
McVay said after Monday’s 27-24 loss to the Falcons that he wouldn’t leave the starters against the Cardinals. But it remains to be seen how much they will play if the Rams come out strong and build a substantial lead.
Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford just threw three interceptions against the Falcons, which didn’t help his case for NFL Most Valuable Player honors. But he still leads the league with 42 touchdown passes.
Receiver Puka Nacua and Cardinals tight end Trey McBride are tied for the league lead with 119 receptions.
