With the Cardinals trading away Marvin Harrison Jr., it was only added assurance by some that had the game as an easy win for the Rams, but kicker Chad Ryland and Arizona had other ideas.All 18 points by the Cardinals came from Ryland, including the game-winning 43-yard field goal that sealed the deal for Arizona, putting Los Angeles at the bottom of the NFC West.“Stunning: The dream-team Rams just lost at home to the #Cardinals and are now 2-4 on the season,” Meirov wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “LA is now in last place in the NFC West.”Watch sports LIVE with fuboTV (free trial)Stunning: The dream-team #Rams just lost at home to the #Cardinals and are now 2-4 on the season.LA is now in last place in the NFC West.pic.twitter.com/KUT8eFanfshttps://t.co/1aP5Wf3Orb— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) October 18, 2026Many people had the Rams as a Super Bowl favorite this year, especially after the blockbuster trade for defensive star Myles Garrett and the return from retirement of Aaron Donald. Not to mention an offense with star players like quarterback Matthew Stafford, wide receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, plus more.However, Los Angeles has been underwhelming for many in the football world, but the team could be facing a reality check after the loss to the Cardinals. Especially since the only points Arizona scored came from Ryland with his six field goals.At any rate, Arizona will take the shocking win and look to carry the momentum into their next game on Oct. 25 against the Denver Broncos.Related: Rams’ Sean McVay doesn’t hold back on LA after painful Week 6 loss to CardinalsRelated: Rams’ Davante Adams suffered non-contact leg injury during Cardinals game
