That said, it was a storming late victory from the Cardinals on the road in Vegas last week that will have made the season feel so much better. Part of that success is down to the O-line with Kyler Murray only on the wrong end of one sack and rarely under pressure on his drop-backs. If his receivers can sharpen up a little, this could be a good moment for the Cards.
Matthew Stafford's protection is equally good right now but that could be something of a moot point if his interception rate continues to fly. That said, he led the NFL on that stat last season and cried all the way to his Super Bowl win, doubtless. With Kupp the obvious target for most of the plays, Stafford expanded his repertoire to include Allen Robinson and tight-end Tyler Higbee last week.
Variety will be key or the Arizona defensive backs will be laughing all the way to the end zone. Follow our guide for how to watch the Rams vs Cardinals online and get an NFL live stream wherever you are.
