Jacoby Brissett led the charge for Arizona, throwing for two touchdowns while also benefiting from an impressive ground game featuring Jeremiyah Love, who rushed for 160 yards. This offensive duo was pivotal in establishing a commanding lead early in the game, allowing the Cardinals to control the tempo and maintain pressure on the Rams' defense.
