In the first ever playoff game at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, the Los Angeles Rams scored early and often in a dominant victory over their divisional rival Arizona Cardinals, 34-11.as the Rams earned their spot in the Divisional Round of the playoffs, now slated to take on the reigning Super Bowl Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
After a series of punts from each team to begin the game, the Rams struck first when Matthew Stafford connected on a four-yard lob over the outstretched hands of Cardinals’ defensive back Marco Wilson into those of Odell Beckham Jr. for a four-yard touchdown – the first playoff touchdown of Beckham’s NFL career.
The first pick came on an over-the-shoulder heave from Murray, who’s last-ditch effort to avoid a safety turned into an interception returned for a touchdown by Rams’ safety David Long Jr. The interception, returned for just three-yards, was the shortest pick-6 in NFL Playoffs history, making the score a steep 21-0 in favor of the Rams heading into halftime.
