The Los Angeles Rams held on for a gritty 13-9 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday night, preserving their lead in the NFC West and extending their winning streak to five games.
The game’s defining moment came with just 37 seconds remaining when Ahkello Witherspoon made a diving interception on a deflected pass in the end zone, sealing the Rams’ hard-fought win.
Los Angeles leaned heavily on its defense in a game where the offense struggled to find a rhythm. Puka Nacua was a bright spot, racking up 129 receiving yards, while Kyren Williams scored the Rams’ only touchdown.
Despite a challenging night offensively, the Rams managed to grind out the win and stay in control of the division race with the regular season winding down.
