With both starting quarterbacks sitting out due to injuries, the Arizona Cardinals held a 17-3 lead over the Los Angeles Rams at halftime at SoFi Stadium. The Rams’ Matthew Stafford (concussion) and Cardinals Kyler Murray (hamstring) were both game-time decisions, and neither could go.
That meant it was Colt McCoy starting for the Cardinals and John Wolford starting for the Rams. Unsurprisingly, the game has been slow offensively, with each team managing just a field goal until the end of the second quarter, when the Cardinals finally got in the end zone. James Connor got in with a four-yard run, giving Arizona its first lead of the game.
The Cardinals got some momentum from their first touchdown and came back before the half ended to score another one, this time a pass from McCoy to A.J. Green.
The Rams specifically struggled offensively in the second quarter, with no first downs in the quarter as they took the ball with less than two minutes remaining in the half. They’ve been looking to reverse the post-Super Bowl victory slump, and it has not happened yet.
