The Arizona Cardinals did not capitalize on the momentum from the Week 2 overtime win, falling 20-12 on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.
The first half at State Farm Stadium was reminiscent of the stagnant offense from the first six quarters of the season rather than the last two plus in Las Vegas.
Quarterback Kyler Murray and the offense totaled 183 yards in the first half and went 2-for-9 on third down attempts.
Murray threw for 314 yards in the game while James Conner led the way with 39 rushing yards. The Cardinals had 70 rushing yards on 21 carries.
