If and it will be time for these two teams to settle it between the white

:00:09.:00:15.

line. He will fire towards the end zone. Touchdown! Looking downfield,

:00:16.:00:26.

going deeper. A one-man wrecking crew. Unbelievable! How did he do

:00:27.:00:35.

that? Cart! To the win. But unstoppable. Welcome to Twickenham

:00:36.:00:43.

for highlights of the Arizona Cardinals are up against the LA

:00:44.:00:47.

Rams. The 20th international series game to be held in London.

:00:48.:01:26.

So many keys, so many memorable moments over those last 20 games,

:01:27.:01:47.

but this one, it just feels a little bit different, too divisional rivals

:01:48.:01:52.

matching up here at Twickenham. Let us look at the table, on top of the

:01:53.:01:58.

NFC West, we find the Rams. They have as many wins as they had last

:01:59.:02:04.

time out. The Cardinals are third. They had a win over the Tampa Bay

:02:05.:02:10.

Buccaneers last week. Osi will guide us through it. This one matters.

:02:11.:02:17.

This one feels relevant. A huge game, divisional match up, both

:02:18.:02:23.

teams need to win. Very important matchup. The statistics are great

:02:24.:02:29.

but these are two teams who are so different from what we have seen.

:02:30.:02:32.

The Rams completely different from the last time they were in London.

:02:33.:02:38.

These guys are explosive on offense. There are new head coach has got the

:02:39.:02:47.

best adult Jared Goff. This is an outstanding young offense. Sean

:02:48.:02:49.

McVay, a young coach, the youngest in the NFL when he took over the

:02:50.:02:53.

team but you know him? I have known him since he was a baby! He used to

:02:54.:03:00.

play with us in Atlanta, he was about 18 years old. We had no idea

:03:01.:03:05.

he would turn out to be this type of person, an outstanding head coach.

:03:06.:03:10.

The young guy in terms of coaching, what about the Cardinals? Adrian

:03:11.:03:15.

Peterson, the old hand of the NFL and he has lifted their side. When

:03:16.:03:21.

you talk about the Cardinals, you talk about a team with three Hall of

:03:22.:03:28.

Fame players, Palmer, Adrian Peterson, they are guys who can play

:03:29.:03:33.

at a very high level. It is not just the impact he has made, but it is

:03:34.:03:38.

the impact in confidence for the rest of the team. The team needed

:03:39.:03:42.

this boost in confidence, they have been inconsistent with him coming

:03:43.:03:48.

in, they know they have a running back. I say this is the one that

:03:49.:03:52.

feels the most relevant, is this the one where you feel that the rest of

:03:53.:03:55.

America turns around and says we want a piece of that? This is a huge

:03:56.:04:03.

game and they are playing this in London. London is here to stay. One

:04:04.:04:06.

of those who was instrumental in the growth of the game here was Kevin

:04:07.:04:11.

Cadle who sadly passed away this week. Kevin presented Skype as

:04:12.:04:14.

Michael coverage of the NFL for years and he was a huge part of the

:04:15.:04:18.

NFL community in the UK and for many of us was the face of the game will

:04:19.:04:23.

we were growing up. His warmth and personality and dedication to the

:04:24.:04:27.

game will be greatly missed. A heartfelt tribute was played to

:04:28.:04:33.

Kevin here at Twickenham. Our commentary team for this game. The

:04:34.:04:46.

Rams won the coin toss and deferred. Mid win over Jacksonville last week.

:04:47.:04:51.

Sean McVay in his first season as head coach and the Rams are 4-2 the

:04:52.:05:00.

first time since 2006. Bruce Arion 's team are 3-3. Gets up to the 20

:05:01.:05:12.

and down at the 21-yard line. Too tight ends, the running back is

:05:13.:05:18.

Adrian Peterson, Larry Fitzgerald and John Brown and Carson Palmer to

:05:19.:05:29.

put it up for the tight end. Quick start for Carson Palmer who had his

:05:30.:05:33.

first 14 passes last week against Tampa Bay. You do not want to make

:05:34.:05:38.

this game solely about Adrian Peterson, Carson Palmer had a great

:05:39.:05:41.

start in that game last week and he will only get better with a guy like

:05:42.:05:46.

Adrian Peterson in the background. We will see what he is about. As

:05:47.:05:54.

Bruce Arians says, the old guys are coming through for the Cardinals.

:05:55.:06:00.

Larry Fitzgerald shifts. The opening play with 18 yards, here is Adrian

:06:01.:06:07.

Peterson up to the 40-yard line. Let us check out the Arizona Cardinals

:06:08.:06:13.

on offense. Much was made about the return of DJ Humphries last week. I

:06:14.:06:17.

think the addition of Adrian Peterson made them look good. They

:06:18.:06:22.

have great talent on the outside with Larry Fitzgerald. Expect a lot

:06:23.:06:28.

of him today. You will see him as a receiver but also in the running

:06:29.:06:36.

game. On 15,000 yards, receiving. The tight end. No gain on that,

:06:37.:06:45.

Adrian Peterson. John Johnson, the strong safety for the Rams, not to

:06:46.:06:51.

make the tackle. When you're talking about the Rams, it is all about the

:06:52.:07:02.

deep tackle of the defense, they have great talent on the backend as

:07:03.:07:11.

well. Alex Ogletree will be active in this game against Adrian

:07:12.:07:15.

Peterson. Wide receivers to the right, Williams, the running back

:07:16.:07:20.

rows to Larry Fitzgerald. A 1st down. One of the great quarterback

:07:21.:07:25.

receiving combinations, 1st down at the 13th at the 43-yard line of LA.

:07:26.:07:31.

Very hard to understand how a guy that leaves this team, second in the

:07:32.:07:37.

NFL receptions gets this wide open, they are playing man-to-man. Across

:07:38.:07:43.

the middle, big 1st down for Arizona. Three wide receivers in the

:07:44.:07:49.

game, Carson Palmer throws, Brown, 24-yard line. Palmer was on target

:07:50.:07:56.

again from the start of the game. A lot of people will question whether

:07:57.:07:59.

Adrian Peterson can be a full-time guy here for. Alex Ogletree, that

:08:00.:08:07.

gives Carson Palmer enough times to win his rout up top. Great catch and

:08:08.:08:15.

throw, another 1st down for Arizona. Gets a couple of yards down to the

:08:16.:08:23.

20-yard line. We had a great conversation with Adrian on Friday.

:08:24.:08:28.

It just seems like this is a good fit and it just happened at a weird

:08:29.:08:34.

time in the season. It really dead, but Arizona was looking for someone

:08:35.:08:38.

like this. You lose a David Johnson and your team is deflated somewhat

:08:39.:08:42.

because of what he meant to be offense. The ability to find a guy

:08:43.:08:48.

like Adrian Peterson, who was floundering somewhat in New Orleans

:08:49.:08:53.

brings much liked to this offense. Palmer starts up, drop set off, off

:08:54.:08:59.

the hands of Adrian Peterson, incomplete. 3rd 8 for the

:09:00.:09:04.

Cardinals. The challenge for Arizona will be to contain Aaron Donald.

:09:05.:09:14.

Whoever he is working on, whether it is the offensive guard on either

:09:15.:09:18.

side, expect him to get a couple of bodies on him. I will be surprised

:09:19.:09:24.

if he gets many one-on-one opportunities today. Palmer throws.

:09:25.:09:29.

Wide open, John Brown. Stopped at the 15th. Short of the 1st down.

:09:30.:09:34.

Good job of rallying for the ball for the Rams. You get into that

:09:35.:09:38.

situation and if you are LA, you have to be smart, you do not want to

:09:39.:09:43.

play man-to-man here. This is what the defense does so well.

:09:44.:09:55.

Rally and zone coverages, always have sound tacklers and be able to

:09:56.:09:59.

get off the field and set up the field goal opportunity. This will be

:10:00.:10:03.

a 32 yard attempt. And the kicking is wide to the left, he missed. He

:10:04.:10:11.

seems to have sell down in the last couple of weeks. Poots this one to

:10:12.:10:16.

the left and the game remains scoreless. Disappointment for the

:10:17.:10:20.

Cardinals, we rejoin the game on the Rams first possession. Todd Gurley.

:10:21.:10:28.

Nice little cut back and Todd Gurley with a carry up to the 43-yard line.

:10:29.:10:36.

This is quite a running back matchup. On one side Adrian

:10:37.:10:41.

Peterson, on the other, Todd Gurley. They are both having redemptive type

:10:42.:10:45.

performances here, Todd Gurley especially. Jared Goff, the outside

:10:46.:10:54.

was incomplete, hit the ground. Jared Goff in the middle of first

:10:55.:11:03.

overall picks. Jared Goff last year, when he under Sean McVay is starting

:11:04.:11:10.

to grow as a quarterback. The quarterback coach, the offensive

:11:11.:11:13.

coordinator have all put time into Jared Goff and I had the pleasure of

:11:14.:11:18.

being at some LA games last year and I did not know if this would be the

:11:19.:11:22.

guy he would turn out to be but so far this season under this

:11:23.:11:26.

leadership he has proven pretty well. Jared Goff on 2nd down finds

:11:27.:11:33.

Robert Woods. They have broadened some new receivers, Robert Woods is

:11:34.:11:36.

one and Sammy Watkins is another, Robert Woods is a reliable receiver

:11:37.:11:42.

in Buffalo. He will have to have a big day today, I think he is the guy

:11:43.:11:47.

that Jared Goff is most comfortable with. Three wide receivers. Jared

:11:48.:11:53.

Goff throws, completes to Sammy Watkins at the 40-yard line of

:11:54.:12:01.

Arizona, 1st down. Forward to the 39, Trayvon Martin is who is

:12:02.:12:05.

starting today at a quarterback with a stop. They have been much better

:12:06.:12:10.

upfront. The biggest additions to me are Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods

:12:11.:12:15.

on the outside. Putting the pieces around a Jared Goff and they did not

:12:16.:12:19.

have what they needed last year. These guys are huge assets for the

:12:20.:12:27.

young quarterback. On the handoff, slipping and falling at the 40 was

:12:28.:12:34.

Todd Gurley. Check out the Cardinals on defense. They have lost some

:12:35.:12:43.

guys, they lost Marcus Goldman, expect a lot from Chandler Jones.

:12:44.:12:52.

Justin Bethel is on the bench. Could drop, completes the Tyler

:12:53.:13:08.

Higbee at the 35. Jonny Gray is the youngest NFL head coach in history.

:13:09.:13:25.

-- John McVeigh. -- Sean. He's got enough for the 1st down at the 27.

:13:26.:13:35.

Let's check out our first flag. REFEREE: Illegal contact, defense

:13:36.:13:47.

number 27. Tyvon Branch was called. Watch this rout by number 17, Robert

:13:48.:13:55.

Woods. Loose coverage on the outside there, despite the short yardage the

:13:56.:14:05.

game. Todd Gurley try to cut it back, nothing there, a loss of a

:14:06.:14:14.

couple of yards. Nice play by Robert Nkemdiche. Nkemdiche, for the first

:14:15.:14:19.

couple of years of his career, he has underachieved. It is good to see

:14:20.:14:28.

him back healthy. He is big and athletic. His motor is running high

:14:29.:14:31.

and he could be a very effective interior defensive player. 2nd 12.

:14:32.:14:42.

Free wide receiver left. The handover is to tie the knot Austen.

:14:43.:14:55.

-- Tavon Austin. He's holding his hand. Is hurting. Keep an eye on his

:14:56.:15:01.

left hand. That is the one he's holding here. He goes to the

:15:02.:15:11.

sideline with a hand injury. Looks like he's heading to the locker room

:15:12.:15:14.

to be checked out by the medical staff. Goff throws in and completes

:15:15.:15:23.

it. He is down close to the 10-yard line. It is a 1st down for the Rams.

:15:24.:15:31.

Cooper Kupp, to me, is one of the great young guys in this bleak. As a

:15:32.:15:37.

rookie, he comes in, so Smart, understands the offense, is able to

:15:38.:15:41.

get involved in the fence without having the same learning curve as

:15:42.:15:56.

some of the Rockies. -- rookies. This is exactly what Todd Gurley

:15:57.:16:02.

does best - direct runs. He is not a shifty back like Adrian Peterson,

:16:03.:16:06.

who can cut between different lanes. Todd Gurley likes to hit it down

:16:07.:16:10.

Hill and go fast. We've seen a lot of that from him this year. --

:16:11.:16:25.

downhill. Goff, rolling, buying some time, and throws it away. Takes a

:16:26.:16:31.

hit, and it is shoved out of bounds by Kareem Martin. There is

:16:32.:16:41.

absolutely nowhere for him to go with this football. Tyrann

:16:42.:17:02.

Mathieu. Todd Gurley out to the right. Throws, and it is incomplete.

:17:03.:17:15.

Derek Carrier, the tight end, knows Cooper Kupp is the intended

:17:16.:17:24.

receiver. Broken up by Josh Bynes. He comes in. You can't play

:17:25.:17:33.

man-to-man, but that gets a linebacker on a wide receiver. I

:17:34.:17:37.

mentioned earlier how adept Cooper Kupp is inside working in the slot,

:17:38.:17:40.

but that is a fantastic play on the ball. Now it is Greg Zuerlein.

:17:41.:17:52.

Straight through. So, the Rams get on the board first. It's 3-0.

:17:53.:18:04.

STUDIO: We rejoin play with Los Angeles driving again. COMMENTATOR:

:18:05.:18:11.

Todd Gurley punched through the hole on the 35. Gets about nine. Tavon

:18:12.:18:21.

Austin turns the corner, he's got great speed. He's such a dangerous

:18:22.:18:31.

runner with the ball. Tavon Austin down to... You like to me, he is a

:18:32.:18:43.

running back. -- to me, he is a running back. He has become a very

:18:44.:18:54.

reliable receiver. They drafted Gerald Everett out of South Alabama

:18:55.:18:58.

in this second round. They have a good collection of tight ends. There

:18:59.:19:07.

is a reason they are so high on that position. REFEREE: 5-yard penalty.

:19:08.:19:13.

2nd down. He was three years old when he left

:19:14.:19:29.

England and hasn't been back until now, but all his team-mates were

:19:30.:19:34.

asking him about London. I'm sure he has zero idea. He said, I don't

:19:35.:19:41.

know, I left when I was three years old! On the 25... Dumped after

:19:42.:19:52.

Gurley. Down at 20. He came into the game as the leading receiver. The

:19:53.:19:58.

most receptions on the team. He is the safety valve guide for Todd

:19:59.:20:01.

girlie. You see why he has the number of receptions he does. He has

:20:02.:20:05.

learned that not pushing the ball down the field all the time can be

:20:06.:20:10.

beneficial. He's not the Marshall Faulk style of all-purpose runner,

:20:11.:20:19.

but he is unavailable capture, catching the checkdown. Gurley takes

:20:20.:20:28.

the hand, breakthrough, gets six on the play. 1st down run, Rams. After

:20:29.:20:41.

a gain of six, the up-tempo offense continues. A lot of this is about

:20:42.:20:49.

getting Gerald Goff to the line of scrimmage. Rushed by Chandler Jones,

:20:50.:21:02.

he overthrows everybody. Pressure from Chandler Jones, who leaves the

:21:03.:21:10.

team with seven bag-macs. A nice job by Chandler Jones redirecting. The

:21:11.:21:13.

one the Gerald Goff doesn't do as well as some of the other young

:21:14.:21:16.

quarterbacks I have seen is when he's scrambling to his left, being

:21:17.:21:27.

able to square himself up. Third and short here. We will see of this

:21:28.:21:32.

Arizona defense can rise up and stop them. Goff throws, and it is

:21:33.:21:39.

incomplete, a little behind Cooper Kupp. In that situation, you would

:21:40.:21:43.

love Gerald Goff to be decisive and get the ball out of his hands

:21:44.:21:47.

quickly, but good coverage on the back end by Arizona. Wets a 33 yard

:21:48.:22:02.

try on the whole of Hekker. He leads the league in points. Pistons, but

:22:03.:22:07.

his accuracy has been on point this year. This one from 33 yards. And

:22:08.:22:21.

the Rams have a 6-0 lead. Here in London England, Gerald Goff leading

:22:22.:22:29.

two field goal scores. STUDIO: LA couldn't move the ball, so Arizona

:22:30.:22:34.

have another chance to get things going. COMMENTATOR: Froze, and it is

:22:35.:22:45.

intercepted. Join up on the return for the 20, and down to the 17-yard

:22:46.:22:54.

line. -- throws, and it is intercepted. The big kick-off by

:22:55.:23:00.

Marcus Joyner. He gets his second interception of the year. This is

:23:01.:23:05.

about what happened up front. Carson Palmer gets absolutely clobbered

:23:06.:23:07.

trying to make this pass down the field. I can't even see who that

:23:08.:23:13.

was, it was so quick in getting into the backfield. He lays up a duck for

:23:14.:23:23.

Lamarcus Joyner. 30 yard return, great return to the line-up for

:23:24.:23:26.

Lamarcus Joyner. His first interception of the season. Todd

:23:27.:23:33.

Gurley, outside, fights off one man, and he goes for the end zone. He is

:23:34.:23:41.

in for the touchdown. This is a great run by Todd girlie, fantastic

:23:42.:23:52.

run, actually. This is just a bounce play.

:23:53.:24:07.

Making Josh Malraux Miss there was the impetus to get him in space. He

:24:08.:24:18.

is a powerful runner this year. -- Mauro. Todd Gurley's eight touchdown

:24:19.:24:31.

overall. The Rams add to the lead. It is 13-0. STUDIO: Drew Stanton

:24:32.:24:39.

replaced Carson Palmer on the next Cardinals drive, but again, they

:24:40.:24:42.

have stalled. We pick it up with the Rams on the move once again.

:24:43.:24:49.

COMMENTATOR: They are playing like a first-place team. They really are.

:24:50.:24:53.

Efficient on offense. We haven't seen any mistakes by this young

:24:54.:24:58.

quarterback. A short pick-up to Todd Gurley. We are at the two-minute

:24:59.:25:04.

warning. At Twickenham Stadium in London, England. Two minutes to go

:25:05.:25:08.

in the first half. Rams do not have any time ISremaining. Goff with

:25:09.:25:18.

plenty of time. Rolls it, throws, and actually threw it away, Todd

:25:19.:25:26.

Gurley the closest receiver Tippett. Cardinals, whose -- to it. Cardinals

:25:27.:25:37.

have had trouble scoring here. Picking up a bunch of points but

:25:38.:25:42.

can't get in the end zone, it's a recipe for losing. They have had

:25:43.:25:46.

another procedural penalty from defense. Now the third encroachment

:25:47.:25:52.

penalty on Arizona today. Robert Nkemdiche. REFEREE: 5-yard penalty,

:25:53.:26:04.

still 3rd down. For penalty of the game for the Arizona Cardinals. --

:26:05.:26:16.

fourth penalty. Bruce Arians said it has to be about focus., but for me,

:26:17.:26:29.

Arizona is not focus now. Goff throws and completes it. Well held

:26:30.:26:37.

onto by Robert Woods, a 1st down after 33, Woods with his first catch

:26:38.:26:44.

of the game. Two steps in and the ball is. Todd Gurley breaks away. He

:26:45.:26:54.

stays inbounds and is wrestled down by Tyrann Matthew. This -- Tyrann

:26:55.:27:08.

Mathieu. He just misses him here. I wonder if his wrist is bothering

:27:09.:27:15.

him. He is showing his value as a receiver in the backfield. 35 on the

:27:16.:27:19.

play, and the Rams in scoring position with that strong leg of

:27:20.:27:27.

Greg Zuerlein. Fires, and it is broken up. The pass intended for

:27:28.:27:32.

Sammy Watkins, he never saw it coming. Pantomimes Bethea -- onto

:27:33.:27:43.

one Bethea of, and is one Bethea... What what should he have done on

:27:44.:28:06.

that play? He should have got to hands on it and got the ball down.

:28:07.:28:09.

He thought the ball was out of his reach so he went up with one. Credit

:28:10.:28:14.

to Gerald Goff, he was looking down the field, trying to make a play,

:28:15.:28:18.

but smartly learning to take these checkdowns and using throws.

:28:19.:28:33.

3rd 3 for the Rams. Jared Goff. Throws and completes it. Cooper Kupp

:28:34.:28:49.

again. Jared Goff has also long to throw this football. If he gets that

:28:50.:28:53.

much time, he will find a receiver and that is what happens. Touchdown!

:28:54.:29:08.

That is the model of efficiency for Los Angeles. This is the last guy in

:29:09.:29:16.

football I think who would run this football play. When he crashes down,

:29:17.:29:27.

he pulls it. He will never be mistaken for an option quarterback

:29:28.:29:32.

but in the red zone, all quarterbacks are runners. He takes

:29:33.:29:39.

it in. This LA Rams team are playing better than Arizona at the moment.

:29:40.:29:45.

Second rushing touchdown of Jared Goff's career, first of the season,

:29:46.:29:50.

the extra point by Greg Zuerlein is good.

:29:51.:30:03.

Greg Zuerlein. The kick-off is through the end zone, 41 seconds

:30:04.:30:12.

remaining in the first half. Carson Palmer in the locker room being

:30:13.:30:22.

checked out. The passes intercepted. On the interception. He gets it

:30:23.:30:28.

right in the face. Mark Barron does not have to do anything. He is

:30:29.:30:33.

looking for John Brown behind him. That is the wrong time to make this

:30:34.:30:39.

interception. You put them right in the range for Greg Zuerlein for a

:30:40.:30:46.

field goal. Here is Jared Goff, throwing an 3rd down and the passes

:30:47.:30:51.

complete. Down to the 18-yard line, looks like he is just short of the

:30:52.:30:56.

1st down. Great catch by Cooper Kupp. The replay official has

:30:57.:31:06.

instituted a review of the previous play. Review the play. Tyrann

:31:07.:31:13.

Mathieu makes a play missed the ball. All the replays come from the

:31:14.:31:25.

booth upstairs. In the last two minutes of the half. Great pictures

:31:26.:31:30.

right there, to see exactly that Cooper Kupp did lose that football

:31:31.:31:35.

going to the ground. Now here is Brad Allen, the official. That is an

:31:36.:31:43.

incomplete pass. Second and then, the 28-yard line. Please put 30

:31:44.:31:51.

seconds on the game clock, 30 on the game Clark, please. Thank you. Tyler

:31:52.:31:58.

Higbee to the left. Todd Gurley comes out of the backfield, the

:31:59.:32:02.

passes incomplete. He is covered on the play by Corey Peters. The nose

:32:03.:32:09.

tackle went outside with Todd Gurley. Good awareness by Corey

:32:10.:32:18.

Peters. Arizona was playing man-to-man, everyone's backwards to

:32:19.:32:21.

the quarterback and who does not go with the runner he will have a tonne

:32:22.:32:25.

of space going down that sideline. Third and then for their Rams. The

:32:26.:32:33.

Rams in possession, to widen their lead. Jared Goff. Being pressured

:32:34.:32:46.

and he is pulled down. Sacked back at the 35 by Chandler Jones. His a

:32:47.:32:52.

sack of the season. Here comes the field goal. Time winding down, this

:32:53.:32:59.

will be a 53 yard Drive for Greg Zuerlein. Johnny Hekker. Can they

:33:00.:33:06.

get it off in time? The cake is through. The leg of Greg Zuerlein.

:33:07.:33:15.

-- the kick is through. The personal leg, Greg Zuerlein puts three on the

:33:16.:33:20.

board, LA Rams taking charge in London. Greg Zuerlein is 3-3 on

:33:21.:33:27.

field goals. I promise you that this is not a stitch up and we would have

:33:28.:33:33.

made this hall of fame, Eric Dickenson, peer regardless of the

:33:34.:33:37.

scorer. The LA Rams, what happened out there? It hurts. That is one of

:33:38.:33:45.

the things we wanted to stay away from was turnovers. I know you're

:33:46.:33:54.

pretty special but even knew could not have seen this score. I thought

:33:55.:34:01.

it would have been 28-7, it still has a chance to be there. You want

:34:02.:34:11.

to play well. The Rams only came here last night, I thought that

:34:12.:34:16.

might have been too short. I know you have been here a week, you would

:34:17.:34:20.

have heard all the noise around Adrian Peterson this week. We all

:34:21.:34:24.

thought he would be the one to stand up and be counted in your old

:34:25.:34:28.

position as well, why do think he has been missing tonight? We have a

:34:29.:34:39.

great defense. Arizona against Tampa last week. We did very well. Carson

:34:40.:34:48.

Palmer seem that injury to him to change things, initially Stanton

:34:49.:34:50.

comes on and you think there is more left. The offensive line is that

:34:51.:34:58.

good for Arizona. I said this earlier, I said we would get to

:34:59.:35:06.

Carson. That is football. Don't worry, when you talk, I do listen

:35:07.:35:11.

and I seem to remember last season that you said that the Rams needed

:35:12.:35:16.

to change things up, they did that with a young coach, they did with

:35:17.:35:20.

the team too, can you believe the change in the side? Yes and no. I

:35:21.:35:28.

did not see this coming this year. People were excited. This year when

:35:29.:35:40.

they were 3-1, it was a new team, a new head coach, he was a young guy,

:35:41.:35:47.

very excited about football. I think there is another win on the way but

:35:48.:35:50.

that's my will still be there come the end of the game. Let us go back

:35:51.:35:55.

to it. -- but that smile will still be there. Todd Gurley is having a

:35:56.:36:02.

nice game up until this point, up to the 24-yard line, picks up a couple

:36:03.:36:08.

on the play. Todd Gurley with 11 carries, 58 yards, averaging better

:36:09.:36:16.

than five yards per carry. Plus he has also caught three passes for 40

:36:17.:36:22.

yards. This has been the theme all day, coming up to the line of

:36:23.:36:27.

scrimmage, Noel huddling, let Jared Goff make the call at the line of

:36:28.:36:34.

scrimmage. They have connected very well in this game, ball up to the

:36:35.:36:40.

41-yard line. This is a well delivered ball even though it is a

:36:41.:36:44.

touch behind him, makes a great catch and the connection there is

:36:45.:36:49.

very evident, who his most comfortable receiver is today. 59

:36:50.:36:54.

yards for Robert Woods on 1st down, slept, regains his footing, rolling

:36:55.:37:00.

and then decides to run for a couple of yards, takes a head and gets up

:37:01.:37:07.

to the 45-yard line. Let us check in with Christine on the sidelines. I

:37:08.:37:11.

am still awaiting word on Carson Palmer, did not see him emerge from

:37:12.:37:16.

the locker room at half-time. I asked Bruce Arians what would change

:37:17.:37:20.

and he said nothing. We need him to play the way he has played for us in

:37:21.:37:26.

the past, we have to run the football better, just 15 rushing

:37:27.:37:29.

yards in that first half defensively. Thank you. We will keep

:37:30.:37:38.

an eye on that. 2nd down and six for the Rams. Todd Gurley. Battling for

:37:39.:37:44.

yardage, gets up to the 47-yard line. Josh Mauro on the stop. It is

:37:45.:37:54.

interesting that Christine mentioned that there are down, the Rams are

:37:55.:38:00.

one of the best third-down teams. They have got a third and four here.

:38:01.:38:05.

We have not seen much pressure at all on Jared Goff when he is dropped

:38:06.:38:13.

back to pass. I would expect that he will trying get his defense off the

:38:14.:38:20.

football field. Tyler Higbee, the tide end, all receivers out. He

:38:21.:38:25.

completes to Sammy Watkins. At the 38-yard line of Arizona, it is the

:38:26.:38:31.

1st down. I improving myself wrong, a guys at the line of scrimmage and

:38:32.:38:36.

they play a soft zone. You see the frustration from Patrick Peterson.

:38:37.:38:41.

Zero pressure on Jared Goff. They pick up another 1st down. Frostee

:38:42.:38:45.

Rucker went to the sideline under his own power, was jogging a little

:38:46.:38:51.

bit. Here is Jared Goff, putting it up. Tyrann Mathieu covering Cooper

:38:52.:39:00.

Kupp. This looks like it will be against Arizona. 5-yard penalty,

:39:01.:39:08.

automatic, 1st down. It is on Tyrann Mathieu and the fifth penalty

:39:09.:39:14.

against Arizona in the game. Right there, top of the rout, I could have

:39:15.:39:17.

gone without seeing that being called, Cooper Kupp had his arm

:39:18.:39:22.

extended. Trying to push off Tyrann Mathieu. The flags fly. Each team

:39:23.:39:30.

pointing out the others. Saying this one moved, this one came across. In

:39:31.:39:38.

fraction, number 95, the fans, 5-yard penalty. It is on Rodney

:39:39.:39:43.

Gunter. That is at least three neutral zone infractions against

:39:44.:39:52.

Arizona. It is four. A quarter bag under center, you know he will try

:39:53.:39:57.

an hard count, it is still a home game for LA. On 1st 5, the past

:39:58.:40:02.

complete to Todd Gurley, he has got a 1st down, out of bounds at the

:40:03.:40:08.

20-yard line. Todd Gurley has run for 58 yards. Now four catches. Four

:40:09.:40:18.

of 45 yards, making 48 yards. Good day for Todd Gurley. Three wide

:40:19.:40:30.

receivers for the Rams. Tied onto the right side. Todd Gurley, tripped

:40:31.:40:35.

up, falls forward to the 16-yard line. I just feel like this is a

:40:36.:40:43.

fantastic plan against an Arizona Cardinals defense that wants to play

:40:44.:40:46.

fast and physical through the middle. They do not have time to get

:40:47.:40:51.

into what they want to. They are at the line of scrimmage within 12

:40:52.:40:57.

seconds of the last play call. Jared Goff is doing an outstanding job

:40:58.:40:59.

picking out the right play call every time. Jared Goff with time,

:41:00.:41:07.

waiting, no one open and he was hit as he went through. That time he got

:41:08.:41:13.

hit. Rodney Gunter got there for it then it hit on Jared Goff. No

:41:14.:41:19.

pressure again on Jared Goff, he is looking for Cooper Kupp but he gets

:41:20.:41:23.

doubled. You see Patrick Peterson and Tyrann Mathieu. He has got

:41:24.:41:30.

coverage right there, Sammy Watkins. His primary target, a team is not

:41:31.:41:33.

available and he has to throw the football away. Here is the 3rd 6.

:41:34.:41:43.

Jared Goff. It set up for the end zone, too far, Sammy Watkins was

:41:44.:41:50.

down by the end zone, by the goal-line with Patrick Peterson on

:41:51.:41:53.

him. That is the matchup of the day, Patrick Peterson is an eraser on

:41:54.:42:00.

your defense. He normally picks out the alpha dog on the other side of

:42:01.:42:03.

the offense and tried to run a double move but the miscommunication

:42:04.:42:07.

between quarterback and receivers is apparent there. Greg Zuerlein. He

:42:08.:42:15.

will attempt at 34 yard field goal. Greg Zuerlein puts it through. The

:42:16.:42:21.

Rams head into the lead, another possession, three points on the

:42:22.:42:26.

board. The Rams 26, the Cardinals nothing. The LA Rams were in total

:42:27.:42:31.

control, again May force the Cardinals to punt and we join the

:42:32.:42:36.

Rams on their next drive. The Rams have watched from their own 15. The

:42:37.:42:41.

Cardinals 21, empty backfield, throws, intercepted. Tyrann Mathieu

:42:42.:42:47.

on the return, big return and he is brought down. With Carson Palmer

:42:48.:42:53.

sidelined with his injury, Drew Stanton continued in the center and

:42:54.:42:57.

failed to spot the Cardinals offense as the third quarter came to a

:42:58.:42:59.

close. We rejoin the action with the Rams

:43:00.:43:12.

driving again. COMMENTATOR: Across the 40 to the 42. First time in 20

:43:13.:43:24.

games that the Cardinals have had an opposing runner go for over 100

:43:25.:43:33.

yards against them. Todd Gurley, his fourth 100 yard rushing game of the

:43:34.:43:41.

season, came into the game. His scrimmage yards, over 400 yards,

:43:42.:43:46.

second in the league. He's having a terrific year. And you pointed out,

:43:47.:43:51.

a lot of that is because the quarterback is much improved. Tavon

:43:52.:43:55.

Austin with a catch off the pass from Goff. Gets a 1st down at the

:43:56.:44:01.

Cardinals 45. Get out in front of Tavon Austin. You're not getting

:44:02.:44:06.

around that guy. Austin was my job getting that 1st down was made much

:44:07.:44:20.

easier. You can see why the curtain -- by Todd Gurley is having the kind

:44:21.:44:25.

of season he's having. -- why Todd Gurley. We will be in New York next

:44:26.:44:36.

week when the G8 stick on the Falcons. -- when the Jets. Take on

:44:37.:44:54.

the Falcons. It is the first time that Jared Goff has really seen any

:44:55.:44:58.

pressure today, not able to complete this throw on the run. Brown with a

:44:59.:45:06.

1st down, down to the 33-yard line as the Rams continue to grind it out

:45:07.:45:12.

now. That typifies what the day is for Arizona on defense. Got spread

:45:13.:45:17.

out on defense, and they turn round and hand the football over on a

:45:18.:45:21.

draw, and it goes for ten yards and picks up the 1st down. 37 passes,

:45:22.:45:35.

now 31 runs. No gain on the play. The biggest concern now for the

:45:36.:45:39.

Cardinals is the quarterback, Carson Palmer, going out with a left arm

:45:40.:45:43.

injury. We'll find out how serious that is. This is Robert Woods. I was

:45:44.:45:55.

looking for Tavon Austin. It's Robert Woods on the end of it this

:45:56.:46:03.

time. He gets involved in these plays. This fence uses a lot of

:46:04.:46:08.

formations, as short splits by the receivers, stacks, and it allows you

:46:09.:46:12.

to do these things without giving away what you are trying to do. Look

:46:13.:46:17.

at the two receivers on either side of the football, close proximity.

:46:18.:46:21.

Again, this is yet another encroachment. REFEREE: 5-yard

:46:22.:46:30.

penalty, still 3rd down. How many I stopped counting. Under eight

:46:31.:46:42.

minutes to go, and the clock moving. It is all Rams. Sometimes you have

:46:43.:46:47.

days like this. You can't be perfect every Sunday, as well as they played

:46:48.:46:54.

in the first. This time, they mix it up a little bit. They stopped the

:46:55.:46:59.

play before it got started. REFEREE: False start. 5-yard penalty. You

:47:00.:47:13.

feel like they were refining their identity last week with Adrian

:47:14.:47:17.

Peterson and the energy he brought. Since the second half of last week,

:47:18.:47:23.

they have been flat. We were talking earlier about their record this

:47:24.:47:29.

year. They lose, Win, lose, win, it's hard to say what they are as a

:47:30.:47:38.

team in 2017. He was heading for the sideline and some open space,

:47:39.:47:48.

Antoine Bethea with the tackle. He has the ability to make moves and

:47:49.:47:54.

space, shiftiness. It is nice to see him get some yardage here at the end

:47:55.:47:58.

of this football game. LA Rams are trying to secure their hold on first

:47:59.:48:04.

place in the NFC West and go five and two for the first time since

:48:05.:48:14.

2003. A good hold and a good run. He has done a good job. Backing up Todd

:48:15.:48:16.

Gurley. These guys have had a fantastic day,

:48:17.:48:36.

and it is because of these guys up front dominating the defensive line

:48:37.:48:37.

of Arizona. 1st goal for the Rams. Up to the

:48:38.:49:02.

11-yard line. Rams have had five possessions in the red zone and

:49:03.:49:07.

scored all five times. Two touchdowns. Good numbers. On first,

:49:08.:49:13.

Arizona had the first long drive, they get in the end zone and miss a

:49:14.:49:19.

field goal. Get the bad start and haven't recovered. The defense has

:49:20.:49:36.

not relented at all. The crosses to Tavon Austin going the other way.

:49:37.:49:40.

There is a flag on the play. Austin knocked out of bounds at the 10-yard

:49:41.:49:50.

line. REFEREE: 10-yard penalty, 2nd down.

:49:51.:50:03.

The Cardinals have been strong on the road, especially against the

:50:04.:50:08.

Rams. They have won the last three road games. You could call this a

:50:09.:50:13.

road game for both teams, but the designated home team in the game are

:50:14.:50:18.

the LA Rams. They are making the most of it right here. The Rams will

:50:19.:50:29.

be in New York to take on the Giants. The Arizona Cardinals will

:50:30.:50:40.

come back at San Francisco. How about the miles LA have to log?

:50:41.:50:44.

Across country to Jacksonville, stayed all week, come to London,

:50:45.:50:53.

5000 miles or whatever, go back home to be home for a week and then get

:50:54.:50:57.

on a plane across the country again. Who made that schedule? It's

:50:58.:51:05.

ridiculous. Not kind. The head coach can use that adversity, the

:51:06.:51:11.

situation that we have no control over, to his advantage. It is

:51:12.:51:16.

definitely something he is telling his football team - if we do our

:51:17.:51:20.

job, none of that matters. He has got away. It is in - touchdown,

:51:21.:51:30.

Rams. Cooper Kupp is a guy, when you look at him, you are saying, he is

:51:31.:51:35.

not the type of player that he actually is. He is reliable, Smart.

:51:36.:51:40.

I was talking to his wide receiver coach before the game, and he said,

:51:41.:51:45.

you can plug him in and he knows exactly what to do. He has a will to

:51:46.:51:50.

be good at his job. Professional as a young player, and he deserves this

:51:51.:51:55.

touchdown here. Gate run after the catch by Cooper Kupp, put another

:51:56.:51:59.

nail on the coffin of this football game. Third touchdown for the rookie

:52:00.:52:04.

out of eastern Washington. How about this drive - 16 place, 80 yards over

:52:05.:52:14.

ten minutes. The extra point by Greg Zuerlein was good. STUDIO: Arizona

:52:15.:52:17.

were shot out for the first time since December 20 12. The Rams

:52:18.:52:24.

winning 33-0. Congratulations. What is it like being at the top? God. I

:52:25.:52:31.

haven't been on this site for about format years. I also know how it

:52:32.:52:38.

feels how to lose. I am level-headed. I will come in, week

:52:39.:52:42.

in, week out, with the same mentality. Feels good to be on top

:52:43.:52:46.

right now, but I know how it feels to be on the bottom, so I never

:52:47.:52:51.

forget that. As it helps having a young, new coach who has change the

:52:52.:52:56.

attitude of the team? It is always a good change. Everybody has got to be

:52:57.:53:03.

on their toes. That is what I like about him. So much has been made

:53:04.:53:09.

about these young guns around the team. Seeing that performance from

:53:10.:53:12.

them, for you, what does that mean? It gives me the energy to go out and

:53:13.:53:16.

play. Being one of the oldest guys in the league, I know it is rare to

:53:17.:53:22.

be playing like I am, but these guys are my energy. I get a chance during

:53:23.:53:27.

the week to get my body right and get out with these guys. The way

:53:28.:53:29.

they have worked from day one, they have continued that.

:53:30.:53:46.

Do you see a team that can go all the way? I see a team with a lot of

:53:47.:53:50.

ability, but they are young, so it will take focus. The message will

:53:51.:53:57.

be, the more you win, the more you are putting yourself in these

:53:58.:54:04.

positions, the expectation will rise and the pressure will rise. It is

:54:05.:54:07.

about whether we can focus on finish. That is what the end of the

:54:08.:54:11.

season is like - the guys I beat up, bruised and tired. In the end of the

:54:12.:54:16.

season, you see the guys who can step up and win. How different do

:54:17.:54:20.

you feel from this time last year? I'm good. Last year, we gave the

:54:21.:54:30.

game away. We had about five or six turnovers and still had a chance to

:54:31.:54:34.

win the game. I'm just proud of the guys on this team. The way we work,

:54:35.:54:40.

just bringing it, each game. We have got to bring it, game by game, and

:54:41.:54:47.

get better every week. Is not having Carson in there was different. We

:54:48.:54:52.

have to figure out a way to pick up the slack. You have seen that change

:54:53.:55:01.

in confidence and momentum this season, is it easy to going back

:55:02.:55:07.

that I go back and regain that? We have to know the talent we have in

:55:08.:55:10.

the room and what we can do when it's all going. We just got to

:55:11.:55:19.

figure out a way to stay up. You can't miss the signs everywhere

:55:20.:55:23.

saying Rams win. They dominated, came out in emphatic fashion and

:55:24.:55:30.

destroyed the Cardinals. We can't get a good game here to save our

:55:31.:55:33.

lives, Caroline! Lets forget the first part of the show where we said

:55:34.:55:38.

this would be the one. Scrap that, it didn't happen. The Cardinals

:55:39.:55:45.

probably stayed in Arizona. I don't know what the situation was. The

:55:46.:55:49.

quarterback got hurt, so they couldn't get into a rhythm, Adrian

:55:50.:55:54.

Peterson couldn't get into a rhythm, and they couldn't slow down Rams.

:55:55.:55:58.

This was a crucial game for the Cardinals to win and they lost. I

:55:59.:56:03.

think I heard an excuse there. You said Carson Palmer and the injury,

:56:04.:56:07.

whereas the coach said it would not affect you. That is coach tour, he

:56:08.:56:13.

will always say that. Of course it affected them. He was coming along a

:56:14.:56:16.

little bit late over these last couple of games. Although he didn't

:56:17.:56:20.

start well in this game, if he was in there, he could have got things

:56:21.:56:29.

going. At Jarod Goff, his stats for last season are a world apart when

:56:30.:56:37.

you look at how he has performed. Here is phenomenal, displayed

:56:38.:56:40.

everything. Making all the checks, getting his offense in the right

:56:41.:56:46.
