With Alaric Jackson suspended, the Rams were held to 286 yards and did not score after Matthew Stafford's two touchdown passes, and Chad Ryland's 43-yard field goal in the fourth quarter won it for Arizona. Bam Knight ran for 80 yards and the Cardinals held the ball for 35 minutes in their first game without Marvin Harrison Jr.
