The Los Angeles Rams dominated the Arizona Cardinals in every aspect of the game to win 34–11 in their NFC Wildcard match-up at home; in front of a sold-out, loud, and pleased crowd. It was the first Monday Night Football playoff game.

“What a great job really by our team,” said Rams coach Sean McVay. “I thought our guys were ready to go; defense was outstanding from the jump. Von made his presence felt right away, making a couple sacks. I thought David Long’s touchdown to be able to put us up 21–nothing was was huge for us. I think it was one of the best performances in playoff history in the first (half), Being able to hold a really explosive offense like that; to be able to get a defensive touchdown, a couple turnovers.”
