Arizona Cardinals vs Los Angeles Rams LIVE Time, Channel, Where to watch Week 14 NFL 2021

Since there are only five weeks left of the regular season of the NFL, this confrontation in the desert on “Monday Night Football” between the Los Angeles Rams and the Arizona cardinals It could definitely be placed in the “big game” category. The Rams they come in at 8-4, two games behind the Cardinals, leaders of the NFC West, who are 10-2.

The Rams they finally put that terrible November behind them with last Sunday’s 37-7 beating of Jacksonville. But over the course of the previous month they went 0-3, moving to the pinnacle of even giving up the wild-card chase. Throughout November, Rams they led in games for just six minutes and 25 seconds. But last week was their redemption and they hope, a turning point.

Meanwhile, the Cardinals they became the first team with 10 wins in the 2021 season after last week’s 33-22 win at Chicago. Kyler murray he came back from injury and threw just 15 passes as the running game did a good part of the heavy lifting. Well, to be fair, the Bears’ ineptitude was the most useful asset.

Three things to keep in mind

1.- A little more of Murray this time
The quarterback of the Cardinals he missed three games due to injury and saw Colt McCoy deftly lead the team to a 2-1 record. Okay, Murray It was a game-time decision to play in Chicago, but he came back solidly, 11-of-15 for 123 yards and two touchdowns, good for a 136.9 quarterback rating. Arizona He’ll need you to step up more this week as you will be staring at Aaron Donald’s menacing scowl on the other end of the line. While it was also good to have DeAndre Hopkins back last week, look for Murray to target tight end Zach Ertz some more. In the six games since acquiring him from Philadelphia, Ertz has 23 receptions for 278 yards and three touchdowns. What’s more, Hopkins he’s going to have a tough draw against Jalen Ramsey, so he should put the target on Ertz even further.

2.- Line against line, hand in hand
Yes OK Hopkins against Ramsey and Cooper Kupp against Byron Murphy on the other hand will be great battles of WR against CB, the most revealing showdown of the game will actually be the Rams offensive line against the Cardinals passing race. With that brigade in front of him, Matthew stafford has been caught only 18 times this year, good for third in the NFL (He only took two hits in that win against Jacksonville.) But the Cardinals They will counter with a passing run that is fourth in the NFL with 32 sacks and eleventh in quarterback hits. So they have the ability to figure out where the weak link is and exploit it. Stafford He’s shown a knack for making terrible decisions at times this year (everyone remembers the silly play of throwing a pick-a-pick-from-his-own-end zone from a few weeks ago, right?) It gives time and looks comfortable in your pocket, it will be a great advantage in this one.

3. Make the Cardinals run across the field
Break: Andy dalton will no longer be handing out free interceptions to Cardinals.

In last week’s 33-22 win at Soldier Field, the Bears’ QB threw four interceptions, all of them setting up the Cardinals within the Chicago 30 yard. Short field, easy money. The Cards they contributed 23 points in those four teams. The Rams They need to make sure they move the ball and make the special teams play well to at least make sure they Murray travel the entire field for touchdowns and field goals.

Arizona Cardinals vs Los Angeles Rams LIVE

In the first meeting between these teams, Murray and the Cardinals they beat the Rams with some ease, 37-20, inside SoFi Stadium. In that game, the Cardinals rushed for 216 yards on 40 carries to help divide that defense from RAM. And while we mention the running game, it should be noted that the runner of the RamsSony Michel rushed 24 times for 121 yards and a touchdown against the Jags last week. So even though the air will be full of soccer balls, both teams’ running game will also be a great indicator of who wins here.

Stafford He was great last week because, well… he was playing the Jaguars. Everybody looks good against them. I like the ability to Murray to advance a little further in the big games.

Prediction: Cardinals 30, Rams 23
