Match preview

The Arizona Cardinals managed to keep the win column ticking over while star quarterback Kyler Murray was injured and now they have both Murray and top receiver DeAndre Hopkins back in full flow.

The Cardinals have lost just two games this season - a three-point loss to the Packers, which is no disgrace, and a heavy defeat by the Panthers in the one game when backup QB Colt McCoy proved short of the required standard.

Murray and Hopkins returned from injuries last week against Chicago and Arizona cruised to an easy 33-22 victory that was even more comfortable than the final score suggests.

Murray had just 15 pass attempts but managed two touchdown passes, including one to Hopkins, who had only one other reception. Expect to see them both step it up this week in a key NFC West game against the Los Angeles Rams.

The Cardinals won the first meeting this season 37-20 in Week Four, the first result that made the rest of the league sit up and start to take notice during their 7-0 start to the year.

The Rams are playing worse now, with three losses in their last four games, and they are dealing with injuries on offence.

Arizona's defence ranks fifth in the NFL against the pass, third in passing yards per attempt allowed, and third in fewest rushing touchdowns allowed.

The Rams have covered the handicap in just one of their last six games and two of their last seven on the road. Take Arizona to complete a season sweep over their divisional rivals.
