In a disheartening performance, the Los Angeles Rams faced a crippling 41-10 defeat against the Arizona Cardinals. Quarterback Matthew Stafford struggled behind a depleted offensive line, resulting in five sacks and only one touchdown drive. With key players like Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua missing, the Rams find themselves at 0-2 and facing the defending NFC champions soon.

Head coach Sean McVay emphasized the need for protection to avoid repeating last season's turmoil. Stafford, however, remains optimistic despite the challenges, trusting his remaining teammates. Ultimately, how the Rams address these shortcomings will significantly impact their season.
