BREAKING: The Rams defeated the Cardinals 34-11, keeping LA's Super Bowl hopes alive. They will now face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- Matthew Stafford passed for 202 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score in his first playoff victory, and the Los Angeles Rams roared out of the wild-card round with a 34-11 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night.
After an inconsistent finish to the regular season, the Rams' constellation of big stars came together brilliantly on the postseason stage. Murray went 19 of 34 for 137 yards and two interceptions for the Cardinals , who followed their 10-2 start with a 1-5 slide. Arizona lost on the road for only the second time in 10 games this season under coach Kliff Kingsbury, but fell to the Rams for the 10th time in the NFC West rivals' last 11 meetings.
The Rams won even with a quiet night from NFL receiving leader Kupp, who had three receptions for 16 yards while the game was still in doubt. Kupp finished with five catches for 61 yards, failing to get 90 yards for only the second game this season - both times against Arizona.
