Just hours before the Monday Night Football matchup between the L.A. Rams (9–4) at the Arizona Cardinals (10–3), the Rams received the horrific news that four players would be ineligible due to the COVID-19 protocol. However, L.A. likely played their best game of the season on both sides of the ball, to take down the Cardinals; who had held the league’s best record.

The Rams won back-to-back games for the first time since October; placing them one game behind NFC West-leading Arizona. While the Cardinals now have a three-game losing streak at home which is the longest under Coach Kliff Kingsbury.
