The Arizona Cardinals travels west to SoFi Stadium to visit the slumping Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

Both teams had disappointing seasons, finishing with losing records. The Rams appear unlikely to defend their Super Bowl title from February, while the Cardinals have struggled all season against good and bad teams alike.
The Rams are attempting to complete a season sweep of their NFC West rival.
Last week, the Cardinals lost their second game in a row, 31-21 to the Seattle Seahawks in Glendale, after blowing a 14-10 third-quarter lead.
In the loss, Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was sacked four times.
Both the Rams and the Cardinals are dealing with injuries this week. In addition to Matthew Stafford and Kyler Murray being questionable for Sunday, each team is dealing with a slew of other injuries.
The Rams’ two key starters, Greg Gaines and Alaric Jackson, are listed as questionable on the injury report.
Due to elbow and knee injuries, they are unlikely to play against the Cardinals. Ty Nsekhe would replace Jackson at left tackle, and Marquise Copeland would likely see increased playing time if Gaines is out.
Malcolm Brown and Travin Howard have also been ruled out by Sean McVay. Due to an illness, Robert Rochell will be questionable to play. He’s been out sick for the entire week.
Stafford is undoubtedly the Rams’ biggest unknown. McVay stated that the Rams may not know whether their quarterback will suit up until Sunday, potentially up to 90 minutes before kickoff.
The Cardinals have eight questionable players, including Murray and Budda Baker. Rodney Hudson and Max Garcia, the starting offensive linemen, have already been ruled out.
