GLENDALE, Ariz. — There are pivotal moments and games that define a season for all 32 teams around the NFL.
For the Los Angeles Rams, one critical chapter came in their season opener, a 31-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Week 1 rout did not sit well.
“One-hundred percent. It was a humbling experience,” Aaron Donald told USA TODAY Sports. “We didn’t play our best. But when you don’t do what you need to do, you try to find ways to correct it and do better.”
The Rams have elevated their play since then. Los Angeles has won two consecutive games after its 20-12 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, giving up the fewest amount of points in their three games this season. The 2-1 Rams held Kyler Murray and the Cardinals out of the end zone and had Arizona’s offense out of rhythm for most of the contest.
