St. Louis Rams vs. Arizona Cardinals: Live Score and Analysis for St. Louis

The St. Louis Rams (3-6) suffered a bizarre and humiliating 31-14 loss against the NFC West rival Arizona Cardinals (8-1). 

The Rams showed up to play, and that was evident after scoring two touchdowns and taking a 14-10 lead at halftime. In fact, the Rams held on to the lead for the first three quarters.

When Arizona quarterback Carson Palmer went down with an apparent knee injury in the fourth quarter, it appeared that a St. Louis victory was likely, but that turned out to be far from the case. 

Backup Drew Stanton entered the game and immediately hit receiver John Brown for a 48-yard touchdown strike to give the Cardinals the lead. 

The Rams attempted to answer back, but it was a laughable effort. Following the Brown touchdown, the next three St. Louis drives all ended in turnovers, and two of them resulted in defensive touchdowns for Arizona. 

St. Louis had a victory within reach, but instead, its inept play on offense managed to transform the game into an embarrassing blowout in a matter of minutes. 

It was a fourth-quarter meltdown unlike any you've ever seen before. The Cardinals hold on to the NFL's best record, and the Rams now have six losses in nine games. 

It won't get any easier for the Rams, who host the dangerous Denver Broncos in St. Louis next week. For the Cardinals, they'll host the NFC North leading Detroit Lions. 

Thank you for following, and be sure to stop by next week.

Arizona Cardinals 31, St. Louis Rams 14
