Overview

  • Los Angeles has clinched a postseason spot and can secure the No. 5 seed with a win if Seattle beats San Francisco; otherwise the Rams are the No. 6 seed.
  • Sean McVay confirmed his regulars will play at SoFi Stadium as the Rams try to halt a two-game skid entering the finale.
  • Matthew Stafford leads the league’s highest-scoring offense with a franchise-record 42 touchdown passes, though he has five interceptions across the last two losses.
  • The Rams have yielded 99 points since Week 15, while Arizona has lost eight straight and is surrendering 35.0 points per game during that stretch.
  • Injury notes: Davante Adams (hamstring) is expected to miss another game; Blake Corum (ankle) and Kevin Dotson (ankle) did not practice Wednesday; Tyler Higbee returned to practice; Cardinals receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. was ruled out.
