The Arizona Cardinals fell to 3-6 on the season after a disappointing 28-17 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. The Cardinals have now lost three straight games and their playoff hopes are dwindling.

Poor Offensive Performance

The Cardinals' offense struggled mightily against the Rams. Quarterback Kyler Murray was sacked six times and threw two interceptions. The Cardinals also failed to convert on third down, going 2-for-11.

The Cardinals' running game was also ineffective. Running back James Conner was held to just 29 yards on 12 carries. The Cardinals did not have a single run of over 10 yards.

Defense Falters

The Cardinals' defense also had a poor performance against the Rams. The Rams scored on their first four possessions of the game. The Cardinals did not force a turnover until the fourth quarter.

The Rams also had success running the ball against the Cardinals. Running back Cam Akers rushed for 123 yards and a touchdown. The Cardinals have now allowed over 100 rushing yards in four of their last five games.

Playoff Hopes Dwindling

The Cardinals' loss to the Rams drops them to 3-6 on the season. The Cardinals are now two games behind the Rams in the NFC West. The Cardinals also have a tough remaining schedule, with games against the Seahawks, Patriots, and Buccaneers.

The Cardinals' playoff hopes are now dwindling. The Cardinals need to win their remaining games and get help from other teams in order to make the playoffs.
