The Cardinals have won four straight since losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Last week it disposed of the 49ers by a count of 19-13. Carson Palmer threw 24 of 40 for 271 yards but did not record a TD (nor a pick). Larry Fitzgerald (ankle, probable) tied the team in catches with 10 for 66 yards, but it was John Brown who led in yardage with 99 yards on just five catches. He was targeted just seven times in the game.
Fitzgerald leads the team in catches (83), reception yardage (992) and has seven of the team’s 27 reception TDs. Brown is No. 2 in catches (45) and yardage (704), and also ranks third in receiving TDs with four. Michael Floyd is in his fourth season and has 28 catches for 446 yards with five TDs.
The Cardinals are a dangerous team in the air.

On the ground, the Cardinals have benefited from the resurgence of Chris Johnson. The once-considered-washed RB has ran for 814 yards on 196 attempts (4.2 yards per carry) and has three TDs on the season. Johnson is on the IR with a tibia injury but could be ready for the postseason.
No. 2 back Andre Ellington has rushed for three TDs as well with a 6.9 yard per carry average on the season. Arizona might not be super dangerous in its backfield, but it provides ample production for Palmer to do his thing and hit open targets.
The Rams are 4-7 on the year and have now dropped four straight since beginning the season 4-3. Last week it was stomped 31-7 by the Cincinnati Bengals. QB Nick Foles struggled with picks, throwing three.
Tavon Austin had four carries for 63 yards and scored the lone Rams’ TD. WR Kenny Britt caught six passes for 63 yards and Jared Cook caught four for 58 yards. Foles has thrown more INTs (9) than TDs (7) this season and has a passer rating of just 72.0. He has 1,906 yards on the season but just a 57.9 percent completion ratio.
Britt has caught a team-high 404 yards but has just one TD on the year, while dual-featured back Tavon Austin is second in yardage (379) while also rushing for 9.2 yards per carry on his 33 attempts this season. Austin is in his third season out of West Virginia. Austin had 96 total yards last week but just 21 and 23 respectively in the weeks prior. Getting him involved could be what saves this game for the Rams, but expect Arizona to prevail as NFL oddsmakers have wagered.
