Rams 24, Cardinals 22

The Cardinals lost their first game of the season today, 24-22 at home to the Rams.  This was a tough one, they kept making mistakes and kept coming back from those mistakes, they just seemed to run out of time at the end.  The Rams are a good team too though, don't sleep on them, their defense is loaded, Todd Gurley has the makings of a beast and I'm guessing Nick Foles continues to improve as he becomes more familiar with the Rams offense and their personnel.  Tough loss, shake it of Cards!

Observations:

• That fumble on the opening kickoff by the Cardinals was a bad omen. 
• The Cardinals had not trailed in a game this season until that first Rams touchdown. 
• 5 field goals from Chandler Catanzaro is not always a good thing. 
• I'm pretty sure that was a fumble by the Rams in the fourth quarter. 
• The Rams scored 17 points off of 3 Cardinal turnovers.   
• Calais Campbell had a monster game today for the Cardinals. 
• The Cardinals averaged 5.3 yards per carry today, their running game is much improved.
• You have up and down days when you play rookies.  
• Total Yards:  Cardinals 447, Rams 328
• Total Plays:  Cardinals 71, Rams 51
• First Downs:  Cardinals 26, Rams 13
• Turnovers:  Cardinals 3, Rams 0
• Perhaps the Cardinals were getting a bit over confident going into this game. 
• The Rams defense is really good, it's going to keep them in most games. 
• Nick Foles had his best game as a Ram today. 
• The Cardinals offense really struggled when it mattered most today. 
• Have the Rams finally figured out how to use Tavon Austin? 
• It appears that Todd Gurley is going to be a good RB. 
• I really like the Cardinals black alternate home uniforms. 
• Up next?  @ Detroit Lions next Sunday.
