:00:09. > :00:15.If and it will be time for these two teams to settle it between the white
:00:16. > :00:26.line. He will fire towards the end zone. Touchdown! Looking downfield,
:00:27. > :00:35.going deeper. A one-man wrecking crew. Unbelievable! How did he do
:00:36. > :00:43.that? Cart! To the win. But unstoppable. Welcome to Twickenham
:00:44. > :00:47.for highlights of the Arizona Cardinals are up against the LA
:00:48. > :01:26.Rams. The 20th international series game to be held in London.
:01:27. > :01:47.So many keys, so many memorable moments over those last 20 games,
:01:48. > :01:52.but this one, it just feels a little bit different, too divisional rivals
:01:53. > :01:58.matching up here at Twickenham. Let us look at the table, on top of the
:01:59. > :02:04.NFC West, we find the Rams. They have as many wins as they had last
:02:05. > :02:10.time out. The Cardinals are third. They had a win over the Tampa Bay
:02:11. > :02:17.Buccaneers last week. Osi will guide us through it. This one matters.
:02:18. > :02:23.This one feels relevant. A huge game, divisional match up, both
:02:24. > :02:29.teams need to win. Very important matchup. The statistics are great
:02:30. > :02:32.but these are two teams who are so different from what we have seen.
:02:33. > :02:38.The Rams completely different from the last time they were in London.
:02:39. > :02:47.These guys are explosive on offense. There are new head coach has got the
:02:48. > :02:49.best adult Jared Goff. This is an outstanding young offense. Sean
:02:50. > :02:53.McVay, a young coach, the youngest in the NFL when he took over the
:02:54. > :03:00.team but you know him? I have known him since he was a baby! He used to
:03:01. > :03:05.play with us in Atlanta, he was about 18 years old. We had no idea
:03:06. > :03:10.he would turn out to be this type of person, an outstanding head coach.
:03:11. > :03:15.The young guy in terms of coaching, what about the Cardinals? Adrian
:03:16. > :03:21.Peterson, the old hand of the NFL and he has lifted their side. When
:03:22. > :03:28.you talk about the Cardinals, you talk about a team with three Hall of
:03:29. > :03:33.Fame players, Palmer, Adrian Peterson, they are guys who can play
:03:34. > :03:38.at a very high level. It is not just the impact he has made, but it is
:03:39. > :03:42.the impact in confidence for the rest of the team. The team needed
:03:43. > :03:48.this boost in confidence, they have been inconsistent with him coming
:03:49. > :03:52.in, they know they have a running back. I say this is the one that
:03:53. > :03:55.feels the most relevant, is this the one where you feel that the rest of
:03:56. > :04:03.America turns around and says we want a piece of that? This is a huge
:04:04. > :04:06.game and they are playing this in London. London is here to stay. One
:04:07. > :04:11.of those who was instrumental in the growth of the game here was Kevin
:04:12. > :04:14.Cadle who sadly passed away this week. Kevin presented Skype as
:04:15. > :04:18.Michael coverage of the NFL for years and he was a huge part of the
:04:19. > :04:23.NFL community in the UK and for many of us was the face of the game will
:04:24. > :04:27.we were growing up. His warmth and personality and dedication to the
:04:28. > :04:33.game will be greatly missed. A heartfelt tribute was played to
:04:34. > :04:46.Kevin here at Twickenham. Our commentary team for this game. The
:04:47. > :04:51.Rams won the coin toss and deferred. Mid win over Jacksonville last week.
:04:52. > :05:00.Sean McVay in his first season as head coach and the Rams are 4-2 the
:05:01. > :05:12.first time since 2006. Bruce Arion 's team are 3-3. Gets up to the 20
:05:13. > :05:18.and down at the 21-yard line. Too tight ends, the running back is
:05:19. > :05:29.Adrian Peterson, Larry Fitzgerald and John Brown and Carson Palmer to
:05:30. > :05:33.put it up for the tight end. Quick start for Carson Palmer who had his
:05:34. > :05:38.first 14 passes last week against Tampa Bay. You do not want to make
:05:39. > :05:41.this game solely about Adrian Peterson, Carson Palmer had a great
:05:42. > :05:46.start in that game last week and he will only get better with a guy like
:05:47. > :05:54.Adrian Peterson in the background. We will see what he is about. As
:05:55. > :06:00.Bruce Arians says, the old guys are coming through for the Cardinals.
:06:01. > :06:07.Larry Fitzgerald shifts. The opening play with 18 yards, here is Adrian
:06:08. > :06:13.Peterson up to the 40-yard line. Let us check out the Arizona Cardinals
:06:14. > :06:17.on offense. Much was made about the return of DJ Humphries last week. I
:06:18. > :06:22.think the addition of Adrian Peterson made them look good. They
:06:23. > :06:28.have great talent on the outside with Larry Fitzgerald. Expect a lot
:06:29. > :06:36.of him today. You will see him as a receiver but also in the running
:06:37. > :06:45.game. On 15,000 yards, receiving. The tight end. No gain on that,
:06:46. > :06:51.Adrian Peterson. John Johnson, the strong safety for the Rams, not to
:06:52. > :07:02.make the tackle. When you're talking about the Rams, it is all about the
:07:03. > :07:11.deep tackle of the defense, they have great talent on the backend as
:07:12. > :07:15.well. Alex Ogletree will be active in this game against Adrian
:07:16. > :07:20.Peterson. Wide receivers to the right, Williams, the running back
:07:21. > :07:25.rows to Larry Fitzgerald. A 1st down. One of the great quarterback
:07:26. > :07:31.receiving combinations, 1st down at the 13th at the 43-yard line of LA.
:07:32. > :07:37.Very hard to understand how a guy that leaves this team, second in the
:07:38. > :07:43.NFL receptions gets this wide open, they are playing man-to-man. Across
:07:44. > :07:49.the middle, big 1st down for Arizona. Three wide receivers in the
:07:50. > :07:56.game, Carson Palmer throws, Brown, 24-yard line. Palmer was on target
:07:57. > :07:59.again from the start of the game. A lot of people will question whether
:08:00. > :08:07.Adrian Peterson can be a full-time guy here for. Alex Ogletree, that
:08:08. > :08:15.gives Carson Palmer enough times to win his rout up top. Great catch and
:08:16. > :08:23.throw, another 1st down for Arizona. Gets a couple of yards down to the
:08:24. > :08:28.20-yard line. We had a great conversation with Adrian on Friday.
:08:29. > :08:34.It just seems like this is a good fit and it just happened at a weird
:08:35. > :08:38.time in the season. It really dead, but Arizona was looking for someone
:08:39. > :08:42.like this. You lose a David Johnson and your team is deflated somewhat
:08:43. > :08:48.because of what he meant to be offense. The ability to find a guy
:08:49. > :08:53.like Adrian Peterson, who was floundering somewhat in New Orleans
:08:54. > :08:59.brings much liked to this offense. Palmer starts up, drop set off, off
:09:00. > :09:04.the hands of Adrian Peterson, incomplete. 3rd 8 for the
:09:05. > :09:14.Cardinals. The challenge for Arizona will be to contain Aaron Donald.
:09:15. > :09:18.Whoever he is working on, whether it is the offensive guard on either
:09:19. > :09:24.side, expect him to get a couple of bodies on him. I will be surprised
:09:25. > :09:29.if he gets many one-on-one opportunities today. Palmer throws.
:09:30. > :09:34.Wide open, John Brown. Stopped at the 15th. Short of the 1st down.
:09:35. > :09:38.Good job of rallying for the ball for the Rams. You get into that
:09:39. > :09:43.situation and if you are LA, you have to be smart, you do not want to
:09:44. > :09:55.play man-to-man here. This is what the defense does so well.
:09:56. > :09:59.Rally and zone coverages, always have sound tacklers and be able to
:10:00. > :10:03.get off the field and set up the field goal opportunity. This will be
:10:04. > :10:11.a 32 yard attempt. And the kicking is wide to the left, he missed. He
:10:12. > :10:16.seems to have sell down in the last couple of weeks. Poots this one to
:10:17. > :10:20.the left and the game remains scoreless. Disappointment for the
:10:21. > :10:28.Cardinals, we rejoin the game on the Rams first possession. Todd Gurley.
:10:29. > :10:36.Nice little cut back and Todd Gurley with a carry up to the 43-yard line.
:10:37. > :10:41.This is quite a running back matchup. On one side Adrian
:10:42. > :10:45.Peterson, on the other, Todd Gurley. They are both having redemptive type
:10:46. > :10:54.performances here, Todd Gurley especially. Jared Goff, the outside
:10:55. > :11:03.was incomplete, hit the ground. Jared Goff in the middle of first
:11:04. > :11:10.overall picks. Jared Goff last year, when he under Sean McVay is starting
:11:11. > :11:13.to grow as a quarterback. The quarterback coach, the offensive
:11:14. > :11:18.coordinator have all put time into Jared Goff and I had the pleasure of
:11:19. > :11:22.being at some LA games last year and I did not know if this would be the
:11:23. > :11:26.guy he would turn out to be but so far this season under this
:11:27. > :11:33.leadership he has proven pretty well. Jared Goff on 2nd down finds
:11:34. > :11:36.Robert Woods. They have broadened some new receivers, Robert Woods is
:11:37. > :11:42.one and Sammy Watkins is another, Robert Woods is a reliable receiver
:11:43. > :11:47.in Buffalo. He will have to have a big day today, I think he is the guy
:11:48. > :11:53.that Jared Goff is most comfortable with. Three wide receivers. Jared
:11:54. > :12:01.Goff throws, completes to Sammy Watkins at the 40-yard line of
:12:02. > :12:05.Arizona, 1st down. Forward to the 39, Trayvon Martin is who is
:12:06. > :12:10.starting today at a quarterback with a stop. They have been much better
:12:11. > :12:15.upfront. The biggest additions to me are Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods
:12:16. > :12:19.on the outside. Putting the pieces around a Jared Goff and they did not
:12:20. > :12:27.have what they needed last year. These guys are huge assets for the
:12:28. > :12:34.young quarterback. On the handoff, slipping and falling at the 40 was
:12:35. > :12:43.Todd Gurley. Check out the Cardinals on defense. They have lost some
:12:44. > :12:52.guys, they lost Marcus Goldman, expect a lot from Chandler Jones.
:12:53. > :13:08.Justin Bethel is on the bench. Could drop, completes the Tyler
:13:09. > :13:25.Higbee at the 35. Jonny Gray is the youngest NFL head coach in history.
:13:26. > :13:35.-- John McVeigh. -- Sean. He's got enough for the 1st down at the 27.
:13:36. > :13:47.Let's check out our first flag. REFEREE: Illegal contact, defense
:13:48. > :13:55.number 27. Tyvon Branch was called. Watch this rout by number 17, Robert
:13:56. > :14:05.Woods. Loose coverage on the outside there, despite the short yardage the
:14:06. > :14:14.game. Todd Gurley try to cut it back, nothing there, a loss of a
:14:15. > :14:19.couple of yards. Nice play by Robert Nkemdiche. Nkemdiche, for the first
:14:20. > :14:28.couple of years of his career, he has underachieved. It is good to see
:14:29. > :14:31.him back healthy. He is big and athletic. His motor is running high
:14:32. > :14:42.and he could be a very effective interior defensive player. 2nd 12.
:14:43. > :14:55.Free wide receiver left. The handover is to tie the knot Austen.
:14:56. > :15:01.-- Tavon Austin. He's holding his hand. Is hurting. Keep an eye on his
:15:02. > :15:11.left hand. That is the one he's holding here. He goes to the
:15:12. > :15:14.sideline with a hand injury. Looks like he's heading to the locker room
:15:15. > :15:23.to be checked out by the medical staff. Goff throws in and completes
:15:24. > :15:31.it. He is down close to the 10-yard line. It is a 1st down for the Rams.
:15:32. > :15:37.Cooper Kupp, to me, is one of the great young guys in this bleak. As a
:15:38. > :15:41.rookie, he comes in, so Smart, understands the offense, is able to
:15:42. > :15:56.get involved in the fence without having the same learning curve as
:15:57. > :16:02.some of the Rockies. -- rookies. This is exactly what Todd Gurley
:16:03. > :16:06.does best - direct runs. He is not a shifty back like Adrian Peterson,
:16:07. > :16:10.who can cut between different lanes. Todd Gurley likes to hit it down
:16:11. > :16:25.Hill and go fast. We've seen a lot of that from him this year. --
:16:26. > :16:31.downhill. Goff, rolling, buying some time, and throws it away. Takes a
:16:32. > :16:41.hit, and it is shoved out of bounds by Kareem Martin. There is
:16:42. > :17:02.absolutely nowhere for him to go with this football. Tyrann
:17:03. > :17:15.Mathieu. Todd Gurley out to the right. Throws, and it is incomplete.
:17:16. > :17:24.Derek Carrier, the tight end, knows Cooper Kupp is the intended
:17:25. > :17:33.receiver. Broken up by Josh Bynes. He comes in. You can't play
:17:34. > :17:37.man-to-man, but that gets a linebacker on a wide receiver. I
:17:38. > :17:40.mentioned earlier how adept Cooper Kupp is inside working in the slot,
:17:41. > :17:52.but that is a fantastic play on the ball. Now it is Greg Zuerlein.
:17:53. > :18:04.Straight through. So, the Rams get on the board first. It's 3-0.
:18:05. > :18:11.STUDIO: We rejoin play with Los Angeles driving again. COMMENTATOR:
:18:12. > :18:21.Todd Gurley punched through the hole on the 35. Gets about nine. Tavon
:18:22. > :18:31.Austin turns the corner, he's got great speed. He's such a dangerous
:18:32. > :18:43.runner with the ball. Tavon Austin down to... You like to me, he is a
:18:44. > :18:54.running back. -- to me, he is a running back. He has become a very
:18:55. > :18:58.reliable receiver. They drafted Gerald Everett out of South Alabama
:18:59. > :19:07.in this second round. They have a good collection of tight ends. There
:19:08. > :19:13.is a reason they are so high on that position. REFEREE: 5-yard penalty.
:19:14. > :19:29.2nd down. He was three years old when he left
:19:30. > :19:34.England and hasn't been back until now, but all his team-mates were
:19:35. > :19:41.asking him about London. I'm sure he has zero idea. He said, I don't
:19:42. > :19:52.know, I left when I was three years old! On the 25... Dumped after
:19:53. > :19:58.Gurley. Down at 20. He came into the game as the leading receiver. The
:19:59. > :20:01.most receptions on the team. He is the safety valve guide for Todd
:20:02. > :20:05.girlie. You see why he has the number of receptions he does. He has
:20:06. > :20:10.learned that not pushing the ball down the field all the time can be
:20:11. > :20:19.beneficial. He's not the Marshall Faulk style of all-purpose runner,
:20:20. > :20:28.but he is unavailable capture, catching the checkdown. Gurley takes
:20:29. > :20:41.the hand, breakthrough, gets six on the play. 1st down run, Rams. After
:20:42. > :20:49.a gain of six, the up-tempo offense continues. A lot of this is about
:20:50. > :21:02.getting Gerald Goff to the line of scrimmage. Rushed by Chandler Jones,
:21:03. > :21:10.he overthrows everybody. Pressure from Chandler Jones, who leaves the
:21:11. > :21:13.team with seven bag-macs. A nice job by Chandler Jones redirecting. The
:21:14. > :21:16.one the Gerald Goff doesn't do as well as some of the other young
:21:17. > :21:27.quarterbacks I have seen is when he's scrambling to his left, being
:21:28. > :21:32.able to square himself up. Third and short here. We will see of this
:21:33. > :21:39.Arizona defense can rise up and stop them. Goff throws, and it is
:21:40. > :21:43.incomplete, a little behind Cooper Kupp. In that situation, you would
:21:44. > :21:47.love Gerald Goff to be decisive and get the ball out of his hands
:21:48. > :22:02.quickly, but good coverage on the back end by Arizona. Wets a 33 yard
:22:03. > :22:07.try on the whole of Hekker. He leads the league in points. Pistons, but
:22:08. > :22:21.his accuracy has been on point this year. This one from 33 yards. And
:22:22. > :22:29.the Rams have a 6-0 lead. Here in London England, Gerald Goff leading
:22:30. > :22:34.two field goal scores. STUDIO: LA couldn't move the ball, so Arizona
:22:35. > :22:45.have another chance to get things going. COMMENTATOR: Froze, and it is
:22:46. > :22:54.intercepted. Join up on the return for the 20, and down to the 17-yard
:22:55. > :23:00.line. -- throws, and it is intercepted. The big kick-off by
:23:01. > :23:05.Marcus Joyner. He gets his second interception of the year. This is
:23:06. > :23:07.about what happened up front. Carson Palmer gets absolutely clobbered
:23:08. > :23:13.trying to make this pass down the field. I can't even see who that
:23:14. > :23:23.was, it was so quick in getting into the backfield. He lays up a duck for
:23:24. > :23:26.Lamarcus Joyner. 30 yard return, great return to the line-up for
:23:27. > :23:33.Lamarcus Joyner. His first interception of the season. Todd
:23:34. > :23:41.Gurley, outside, fights off one man, and he goes for the end zone. He is
:23:42. > :23:52.in for the touchdown. This is a great run by Todd girlie, fantastic
:23:53. > :24:07.run, actually. This is just a bounce play.
:24:08. > :24:18.Making Josh Malraux Miss there was the impetus to get him in space. He
:24:19. > :24:31.is a powerful runner this year. -- Mauro. Todd Gurley's eight touchdown
:24:32. > :24:39.overall. The Rams add to the lead. It is 13-0. STUDIO: Drew Stanton
:24:40. > :24:42.replaced Carson Palmer on the next Cardinals drive, but again, they
:24:43. > :24:49.have stalled. We pick it up with the Rams on the move once again.
:24:50. > :24:53.COMMENTATOR: They are playing like a first-place team. They really are.
:24:54. > :24:58.Efficient on offense. We haven't seen any mistakes by this young
:24:59. > :25:04.quarterback. A short pick-up to Todd Gurley. We are at the two-minute
:25:05. > :25:08.warning. At Twickenham Stadium in London, England. Two minutes to go
:25:09. > :25:18.in the first half. Rams do not have any time ISremaining. Goff with
:25:19. > :25:26.plenty of time. Rolls it, throws, and actually threw it away, Todd
:25:27. > :25:37.Gurley the closest receiver Tippett. Cardinals, whose -- to it. Cardinals
:25:38. > :25:42.have had trouble scoring here. Picking up a bunch of points but
:25:43. > :25:46.can't get in the end zone, it's a recipe for losing. They have had
:25:47. > :25:52.another procedural penalty from defense. Now the third encroachment
:25:53. > :26:04.penalty on Arizona today. Robert Nkemdiche. REFEREE: 5-yard penalty,
:26:05. > :26:16.still 3rd down. For penalty of the game for the Arizona Cardinals. --
:26:17. > :26:29.fourth penalty. Bruce Arians said it has to be about focus., but for me,
:26:30. > :26:37.Arizona is not focus now. Goff throws and completes it. Well held
:26:38. > :26:44.onto by Robert Woods, a 1st down after 33, Woods with his first catch
:26:45. > :26:54.of the game. Two steps in and the ball is. Todd Gurley breaks away. He
:26:55. > :27:08.stays inbounds and is wrestled down by Tyrann Matthew. This -- Tyrann
:27:09. > :27:15.Mathieu. He just misses him here. I wonder if his wrist is bothering
:27:16. > :27:19.him. He is showing his value as a receiver in the backfield. 35 on the
:27:20. > :27:27.play, and the Rams in scoring position with that strong leg of
:27:28. > :27:32.Greg Zuerlein. Fires, and it is broken up. The pass intended for
:27:33. > :27:43.Sammy Watkins, he never saw it coming. Pantomimes Bethea -- onto
:27:44. > :28:06.one Bethea of, and is one Bethea... What what should he have done on
:28:07. > :28:09.that play? He should have got to hands on it and got the ball down.
:28:10. > :28:14.He thought the ball was out of his reach so he went up with one. Credit
:28:15. > :28:18.to Gerald Goff, he was looking down the field, trying to make a play,
:28:19. > :28:33.but smartly learning to take these checkdowns and using throws.
:28:34. > :28:49.3rd 3 for the Rams. Jared Goff. Throws and completes it. Cooper Kupp
:28:50. > :28:53.again. Jared Goff has also long to throw this football. If he gets that
:28:54. > :29:08.much time, he will find a receiver and that is what happens. Touchdown!
:29:09. > :29:16.That is the model of efficiency for Los Angeles. This is the last guy in
:29:17. > :29:27.football I think who would run this football play. When he crashes down,
:29:28. > :29:32.he pulls it. He will never be mistaken for an option quarterback
:29:33. > :29:39.but in the red zone, all quarterbacks are runners. He takes
:29:40. > :29:45.it in. This LA Rams team are playing better than Arizona at the moment.
:29:46. > :29:50.Second rushing touchdown of Jared Goff's career, first of the season,
:29:51. > :30:03.the extra point by Greg Zuerlein is good.
:30:04. > :30:12.Greg Zuerlein. The kick-off is through the end zone, 41 seconds
:30:13. > :30:22.remaining in the first half. Carson Palmer in the locker room being
:30:23. > :30:28.checked out. The passes intercepted. On the interception. He gets it
:30:29. > :30:33.right in the face. Mark Barron does not have to do anything. He is
:30:34. > :30:39.looking for John Brown behind him. That is the wrong time to make this
:30:40. > :30:46.interception. You put them right in the range for Greg Zuerlein for a
:30:47. > :30:51.field goal. Here is Jared Goff, throwing an 3rd down and the passes
:30:52. > :30:56.complete. Down to the 18-yard line, looks like he is just short of the
:30:57. > :31:06.1st down. Great catch by Cooper Kupp. The replay official has
:31:07. > :31:13.instituted a review of the previous play. Review the play. Tyrann
:31:14. > :31:25.Mathieu makes a play missed the ball. All the replays come from the
:31:26. > :31:30.booth upstairs. In the last two minutes of the half. Great pictures
:31:31. > :31:35.right there, to see exactly that Cooper Kupp did lose that football
:31:36. > :31:43.going to the ground. Now here is Brad Allen, the official. That is an
:31:44. > :31:51.incomplete pass. Second and then, the 28-yard line. Please put 30
:31:52. > :31:58.seconds on the game clock, 30 on the game Clark, please. Thank you. Tyler
:31:59. > :32:02.Higbee to the left. Todd Gurley comes out of the backfield, the
:32:03. > :32:09.passes incomplete. He is covered on the play by Corey Peters. The nose
:32:10. > :32:18.tackle went outside with Todd Gurley. Good awareness by Corey
:32:19. > :32:21.Peters. Arizona was playing man-to-man, everyone's backwards to
:32:22. > :32:25.the quarterback and who does not go with the runner he will have a tonne
:32:26. > :32:33.of space going down that sideline. Third and then for their Rams. The
:32:34. > :32:46.Rams in possession, to widen their lead. Jared Goff. Being pressured
:32:47. > :32:52.and he is pulled down. Sacked back at the 35 by Chandler Jones. His a
:32:53. > :32:59.sack of the season. Here comes the field goal. Time winding down, this
:33:00. > :33:06.will be a 53 yard Drive for Greg Zuerlein. Johnny Hekker. Can they
:33:07. > :33:15.get it off in time? The cake is through. The leg of Greg Zuerlein.
:33:16. > :33:20.-- the kick is through. The personal leg, Greg Zuerlein puts three on the
:33:21. > :33:27.board, LA Rams taking charge in London. Greg Zuerlein is 3-3 on
:33:28. > :33:33.field goals. I promise you that this is not a stitch up and we would have
:33:34. > :33:37.made this hall of fame, Eric Dickenson, peer regardless of the
:33:38. > :33:45.scorer. The LA Rams, what happened out there? It hurts. That is one of
:33:46. > :33:54.the things we wanted to stay away from was turnovers. I know you're
:33:55. > :34:01.pretty special but even knew could not have seen this score. I thought
:34:02. > :34:11.it would have been 28-7, it still has a chance to be there. You want
:34:12. > :34:16.to play well. The Rams only came here last night, I thought that
:34:17. > :34:20.might have been too short. I know you have been here a week, you would
:34:21. > :34:24.have heard all the noise around Adrian Peterson this week. We all
:34:25. > :34:28.thought he would be the one to stand up and be counted in your old
:34:29. > :34:39.position as well, why do think he has been missing tonight? We have a
:34:40. > :34:48.great defense. Arizona against Tampa last week. We did very well. Carson
:34:49. > :34:50.Palmer seem that injury to him to change things, initially Stanton
:34:51. > :34:58.comes on and you think there is more left. The offensive line is that
:34:59. > :35:06.good for Arizona. I said this earlier, I said we would get to
:35:07. > :35:11.Carson. That is football. Don't worry, when you talk, I do listen
:35:12. > :35:16.and I seem to remember last season that you said that the Rams needed
:35:17. > :35:20.to change things up, they did that with a young coach, they did with
:35:21. > :35:28.the team too, can you believe the change in the side? Yes and no. I
:35:29. > :35:40.did not see this coming this year. People were excited. This year when
:35:41. > :35:47.they were 3-1, it was a new team, a new head coach, he was a young guy,
:35:48. > :35:50.very excited about football. I think there is another win on the way but
:35:51. > :35:55.that's my will still be there come the end of the game. Let us go back
:35:56. > :36:02.to it. -- but that smile will still be there. Todd Gurley is having a
:36:03. > :36:08.nice game up until this point, up to the 24-yard line, picks up a couple
:36:09. > :36:16.on the play. Todd Gurley with 11 carries, 58 yards, averaging better
:36:17. > :36:22.than five yards per carry. Plus he has also caught three passes for 40
:36:23. > :36:27.yards. This has been the theme all day, coming up to the line of
:36:28. > :36:34.scrimmage, Noel huddling, let Jared Goff make the call at the line of
:36:35. > :36:40.scrimmage. They have connected very well in this game, ball up to the
:36:41. > :36:44.41-yard line. This is a well delivered ball even though it is a
:36:45. > :36:49.touch behind him, makes a great catch and the connection there is
:36:50. > :36:54.very evident, who his most comfortable receiver is today. 59
:36:55. > :37:00.yards for Robert Woods on 1st down, slept, regains his footing, rolling
:37:01. > :37:07.and then decides to run for a couple of yards, takes a head and gets up
:37:08. > :37:11.to the 45-yard line. Let us check in with Christine on the sidelines. I
:37:12. > :37:16.am still awaiting word on Carson Palmer, did not see him emerge from
:37:17. > :37:20.the locker room at half-time. I asked Bruce Arians what would change
:37:21. > :37:26.and he said nothing. We need him to play the way he has played for us in
:37:27. > :37:29.the past, we have to run the football better, just 15 rushing
:37:30. > :37:38.yards in that first half defensively. Thank you. We will keep
:37:39. > :37:44.an eye on that. 2nd down and six for the Rams. Todd Gurley. Battling for
:37:45. > :37:54.yardage, gets up to the 47-yard line. Josh Mauro on the stop. It is
:37:55. > :38:00.interesting that Christine mentioned that there are down, the Rams are
:38:01. > :38:05.one of the best third-down teams. They have got a third and four here.
:38:06. > :38:13.We have not seen much pressure at all on Jared Goff when he is dropped
:38:14. > :38:20.back to pass. I would expect that he will trying get his defense off the
:38:21. > :38:25.football field. Tyler Higbee, the tide end, all receivers out. He
:38:26. > :38:31.completes to Sammy Watkins. At the 38-yard line of Arizona, it is the
:38:32. > :38:36.1st down. I improving myself wrong, a guys at the line of scrimmage and
:38:37. > :38:41.they play a soft zone. You see the frustration from Patrick Peterson.
:38:42. > :38:45.Zero pressure on Jared Goff. They pick up another 1st down. Frostee
:38:46. > :38:51.Rucker went to the sideline under his own power, was jogging a little
:38:52. > :39:00.bit. Here is Jared Goff, putting it up. Tyrann Mathieu covering Cooper
:39:01. > :39:08.Kupp. This looks like it will be against Arizona. 5-yard penalty,
:39:09. > :39:14.automatic, 1st down. It is on Tyrann Mathieu and the fifth penalty
:39:15. > :39:17.against Arizona in the game. Right there, top of the rout, I could have
:39:18. > :39:22.gone without seeing that being called, Cooper Kupp had his arm
:39:23. > :39:30.extended. Trying to push off Tyrann Mathieu. The flags fly. Each team
:39:31. > :39:38.pointing out the others. Saying this one moved, this one came across. In
:39:39. > :39:43.fraction, number 95, the fans, 5-yard penalty. It is on Rodney
:39:44. > :39:52.Gunter. That is at least three neutral zone infractions against
:39:53. > :39:57.Arizona. It is four. A quarter bag under center, you know he will try
:39:58. > :40:02.an hard count, it is still a home game for LA. On 1st 5, the past
:40:03. > :40:08.complete to Todd Gurley, he has got a 1st down, out of bounds at the
:40:09. > :40:18.20-yard line. Todd Gurley has run for 58 yards. Now four catches. Four
:40:19. > :40:30.of 45 yards, making 48 yards. Good day for Todd Gurley. Three wide
:40:31. > :40:35.receivers for the Rams. Tied onto the right side. Todd Gurley, tripped
:40:36. > :40:43.up, falls forward to the 16-yard line. I just feel like this is a
:40:44. > :40:46.fantastic plan against an Arizona Cardinals defense that wants to play
:40:47. > :40:51.fast and physical through the middle. They do not have time to get
:40:52. > :40:57.into what they want to. They are at the line of scrimmage within 12
:40:58. > :40:59.seconds of the last play call. Jared Goff is doing an outstanding job
:41:00. > :41:07.picking out the right play call every time. Jared Goff with time,
:41:08. > :41:13.waiting, no one open and he was hit as he went through. That time he got
:41:14. > :41:19.hit. Rodney Gunter got there for it then it hit on Jared Goff. No
:41:20. > :41:23.pressure again on Jared Goff, he is looking for Cooper Kupp but he gets
:41:24. > :41:30.doubled. You see Patrick Peterson and Tyrann Mathieu. He has got
:41:31. > :41:33.coverage right there, Sammy Watkins. His primary target, a team is not
:41:34. > :41:43.available and he has to throw the football away. Here is the 3rd 6.
:41:44. > :41:50.Jared Goff. It set up for the end zone, too far, Sammy Watkins was
:41:51. > :41:53.down by the end zone, by the goal-line with Patrick Peterson on
:41:54. > :42:00.him. That is the matchup of the day, Patrick Peterson is an eraser on
:42:01. > :42:03.your defense. He normally picks out the alpha dog on the other side of
:42:04. > :42:07.the offense and tried to run a double move but the miscommunication
:42:08. > :42:15.between quarterback and receivers is apparent there. Greg Zuerlein. He
:42:16. > :42:21.will attempt at 34 yard field goal. Greg Zuerlein puts it through. The
:42:22. > :42:26.Rams head into the lead, another possession, three points on the
:42:27. > :42:31.board. The Rams 26, the Cardinals nothing. The LA Rams were in total
:42:32. > :42:36.control, again May force the Cardinals to punt and we join the
:42:37. > :42:41.Rams on their next drive. The Rams have watched from their own 15. The
:42:42. > :42:47.Cardinals 21, empty backfield, throws, intercepted. Tyrann Mathieu
:42:48. > :42:53.on the return, big return and he is brought down. With Carson Palmer
:42:54. > :42:57.sidelined with his injury, Drew Stanton continued in the center and
:42:58. > :42:59.failed to spot the Cardinals offense as the third quarter came to a
:43:00. > :43:12.close. We rejoin the action with the Rams
:43:13. > :43:24.driving again. COMMENTATOR: Across the 40 to the 42. First time in 20
:43:25. > :43:33.games that the Cardinals have had an opposing runner go for over 100
:43:34. > :43:41.yards against them. Todd Gurley, his fourth 100 yard rushing game of the
:43:42. > :43:46.season, came into the game. His scrimmage yards, over 400 yards,
:43:47. > :43:51.second in the league. He's having a terrific year. And you pointed out,
:43:52. > :43:55.a lot of that is because the quarterback is much improved. Tavon
:43:56. > :44:01.Austin with a catch off the pass from Goff. Gets a 1st down at the
:44:02. > :44:06.Cardinals 45. Get out in front of Tavon Austin. You're not getting
:44:07. > :44:20.around that guy. Austin was my job getting that 1st down was made much
:44:21. > :44:25.easier. You can see why the curtain -- by Todd Gurley is having the kind
:44:26. > :44:36.of season he's having. -- why Todd Gurley. We will be in New York next
:44:37. > :44:54.week when the G8 stick on the Falcons. -- when the Jets. Take on
:44:55. > :44:58.the Falcons. It is the first time that Jared Goff has really seen any
:44:59. > :45:06.pressure today, not able to complete this throw on the run. Brown with a
:45:07. > :45:12.1st down, down to the 33-yard line as the Rams continue to grind it out
:45:13. > :45:17.now. That typifies what the day is for Arizona on defense. Got spread
:45:18. > :45:21.out on defense, and they turn round and hand the football over on a
:45:22. > :45:35.draw, and it goes for ten yards and picks up the 1st down. 37 passes,
:45:36. > :45:39.now 31 runs. No gain on the play. The biggest concern now for the
:45:40. > :45:43.Cardinals is the quarterback, Carson Palmer, going out with a left arm
:45:44. > :45:55.injury. We'll find out how serious that is. This is Robert Woods. I was
:45:56. > :46:03.looking for Tavon Austin. It's Robert Woods on the end of it this
:46:04. > :46:08.time. He gets involved in these plays. This fence uses a lot of
:46:09. > :46:12.formations, as short splits by the receivers, stacks, and it allows you
:46:13. > :46:17.to do these things without giving away what you are trying to do. Look
:46:18. > :46:21.at the two receivers on either side of the football, close proximity.
:46:22. > :46:30.Again, this is yet another encroachment. REFEREE: 5-yard
:46:31. > :46:42.penalty, still 3rd down. How many I stopped counting. Under eight
:46:43. > :46:47.minutes to go, and the clock moving. It is all Rams. Sometimes you have
:46:48. > :46:54.days like this. You can't be perfect every Sunday, as well as they played
:46:55. > :46:59.in the first. This time, they mix it up a little bit. They stopped the
:47:00. > :47:13.play before it got started. REFEREE: False start. 5-yard penalty. You
:47:14. > :47:17.feel like they were refining their identity last week with Adrian
:47:18. > :47:23.Peterson and the energy he brought. Since the second half of last week,
:47:24. > :47:29.they have been flat. We were talking earlier about their record this
:47:30. > :47:38.year. They lose, Win, lose, win, it's hard to say what they are as a
:47:39. > :47:48.team in 2017. He was heading for the sideline and some open space,
:47:49. > :47:54.Antoine Bethea with the tackle. He has the ability to make moves and
:47:55. > :47:58.space, shiftiness. It is nice to see him get some yardage here at the end
:47:59. > :48:04.of this football game. LA Rams are trying to secure their hold on first
:48:05. > :48:14.place in the NFC West and go five and two for the first time since
:48:15. > :48:16.2003. A good hold and a good run. He has done a good job. Backing up Todd
:48:17. > :48:36.Gurley. These guys have had a fantastic day,
:48:37. > :48:37.and it is because of these guys up front dominating the defensive line
:48:38. > :49:02.of Arizona. 1st goal for the Rams. Up to the
:49:03. > :49:07.11-yard line. Rams have had five possessions in the red zone and
:49:08. > :49:13.scored all five times. Two touchdowns. Good numbers. On first,
:49:14. > :49:19.Arizona had the first long drive, they get in the end zone and miss a
:49:20. > :49:36.field goal. Get the bad start and haven't recovered. The defense has
:49:37. > :49:40.not relented at all. The crosses to Tavon Austin going the other way.
:49:41. > :49:50.There is a flag on the play. Austin knocked out of bounds at the 10-yard
:49:51. > :50:03.line. REFEREE: 10-yard penalty, 2nd down.
:50:04. > :50:08.The Cardinals have been strong on the road, especially against the
:50:09. > :50:13.Rams. They have won the last three road games. You could call this a
:50:14. > :50:18.road game for both teams, but the designated home team in the game are
:50:19. > :50:29.the LA Rams. They are making the most of it right here. The Rams will
:50:30. > :50:40.be in New York to take on the Giants. The Arizona Cardinals will
:50:41. > :50:44.come back at San Francisco. How about the miles LA have to log?
:50:45. > :50:53.Across country to Jacksonville, stayed all week, come to London,
:50:54. > :50:57.5000 miles or whatever, go back home to be home for a week and then get
:50:58. > :51:05.on a plane across the country again. Who made that schedule? It's
:51:06. > :51:11.ridiculous. Not kind. The head coach can use that adversity, the
:51:12. > :51:16.situation that we have no control over, to his advantage. It is
:51:17. > :51:20.definitely something he is telling his football team - if we do our
:51:21. > :51:30.job, none of that matters. He has got away. It is in - touchdown,
:51:31. > :51:35.Rams. Cooper Kupp is a guy, when you look at him, you are saying, he is
:51:36. > :51:40.not the type of player that he actually is. He is reliable, Smart.
:51:41. > :51:45.I was talking to his wide receiver coach before the game, and he said,
:51:46. > :51:50.you can plug him in and he knows exactly what to do. He has a will to
:51:51. > :51:55.be good at his job. Professional as a young player, and he deserves this
:51:56. > :51:59.touchdown here. Gate run after the catch by Cooper Kupp, put another
:52:00. > :52:04.nail on the coffin of this football game. Third touchdown for the rookie
:52:05. > :52:14.out of eastern Washington. How about this drive - 16 place, 80 yards over
:52:15. > :52:17.ten minutes. The extra point by Greg Zuerlein was good. STUDIO: Arizona
:52:18. > :52:24.were shot out for the first time since December 20 12. The Rams
:52:25. > :52:31.winning 33-0. Congratulations. What is it like being at the top? God. I
:52:32. > :52:38.haven't been on this site for about format years. I also know how it
:52:39. > :52:42.feels how to lose. I am level-headed. I will come in, week
:52:43. > :52:46.in, week out, with the same mentality. Feels good to be on top
:52:47. > :52:51.right now, but I know how it feels to be on the bottom, so I never
:52:52. > :52:56.forget that. As it helps having a young, new coach who has change the
:52:57. > :53:03.attitude of the team? It is always a good change. Everybody has got to be
:53:04. > :53:09.on their toes. That is what I like about him. So much has been made
:53:10. > :53:12.about these young guns around the team. Seeing that performance from
:53:13. > :53:16.them, for you, what does that mean? It gives me the energy to go out and
:53:17. > :53:22.play. Being one of the oldest guys in the league, I know it is rare to
:53:23. > :53:27.be playing like I am, but these guys are my energy. I get a chance during
:53:28. > :53:29.the week to get my body right and get out with these guys. The way
:53:30. > :53:46.they have worked from day one, they have continued that.
:53:47. > :53:50.Do you see a team that can go all the way? I see a team with a lot of
:53:51. > :53:57.ability, but they are young, so it will take focus. The message will
:53:58. > :54:04.be, the more you win, the more you are putting yourself in these
:54:05. > :54:07.positions, the expectation will rise and the pressure will rise. It is
:54:08. > :54:11.about whether we can focus on finish. That is what the end of the
:54:12. > :54:16.season is like - the guys I beat up, bruised and tired. In the end of the
:54:17. > :54:20.season, you see the guys who can step up and win. How different do
:54:21. > :54:30.you feel from this time last year? I'm good. Last year, we gave the
:54:31. > :54:34.game away. We had about five or six turnovers and still had a chance to
:54:35. > :54:40.win the game. I'm just proud of the guys on this team. The way we work,
:54:41. > :54:47.just bringing it, each game. We have got to bring it, game by game, and
:54:48. > :54:52.get better every week. Is not having Carson in there was different. We
:54:53. > :55:01.have to figure out a way to pick up the slack. You have seen that change
:55:02. > :55:07.in confidence and momentum this season, is it easy to going back
:55:08. > :55:10.that I go back and regain that? We have to know the talent we have in
:55:11. > :55:19.the room and what we can do when it's all going. We just got to
:55:20. > :55:23.figure out a way to stay up. You can't miss the signs everywhere
:55:24. > :55:30.saying Rams win. They dominated, came out in emphatic fashion and
:55:31. > :55:33.destroyed the Cardinals. We can't get a good game here to save our
:55:34. > :55:38.lives, Caroline! Lets forget the first part of the show where we said
:55:39. > :55:45.this would be the one. Scrap that, it didn't happen. The Cardinals
:55:46. > :55:49.probably stayed in Arizona. I don't know what the situation was. The
:55:50. > :55:54.quarterback got hurt, so they couldn't get into a rhythm, Adrian
:55:55. > :55:58.Peterson couldn't get into a rhythm, and they couldn't slow down Rams.
:55:59. > :56:03.This was a crucial game for the Cardinals to win and they lost. I
:56:04. > :56:07.think I heard an excuse there. You said Carson Palmer and the injury,
:56:08. > :56:13.whereas the coach said it would not affect you. That is coach tour, he
:56:14. > :56:16.will always say that. Of course it affected them. He was coming along a
:56:17. > :56:20.little bit late over these last couple of games. Although he didn't
:56:21. > :56:29.start well in this game, if he was in there, he could have got things
:56:30. > :56:37.going. At Jarod Goff, his stats for last season are a world apart when
