After surprising the NFL with their competitive play through the first three weeks of the season, the overhauled Cardinals are now struggling to stay in games after halftime, with it happening again in their 26-9 loss at the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.
This defeat was all the more frustrating because the Cardinals had played well in the first half. They ran for 103 yards to the Rams’ 5. They protected quarterback Joshua Dobbs, allowing him to distribute passes to six receivers. Sandwiching those two kicks from Matt Prater was another promising possession that ended at the Rams 40. Dobbs had been stuffed on third-and-short, and his successful fourth down sneak was canceled out because left guard Elijah Wilkinson lined up offsides.
The defense had its own what-if after allowing Rams star receiver Cooper Kupp to catch a 49-yard go route up the numbers to set up a field goal with four seconds left in the half, cutting the Cardinals’ lead to 9-6.
