Arizona finds the difference after halftime
The Arizona Cardinals beat the Los Angeles Rams 18-16 in Week 6 at SoFi Stadium, improving to 2-4 and dropping the Rams to the same record. The teams finished the first quarter tied 3-3 and reached halftime at 9-9. Arizona then scored the only three points of the third quarter, building a 12-9 advantage. Los Angeles outscored the Cardinals 7-6 in the fourth, but that was not enough to erase the deficit. Arizona followed losses to Detroit and the New York Giants with the win. The Rams lost for the second consecutive week after falling 37-34 to Buffalo in Week 5.
