The Los Angeles Rams delivered a receiver special Wild Card game on Monday during their dominating 34-11 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Rams’ star receiving prospects like Odell Beckham Jr. and Cooper Kupp made it look easy for the team. As much as a celebrated game was for the hosts, equally embarrassing was it for the guests.

The Cardinals, at one point of the game, were trailing the Rams by 28-0. And being a playoff game, the stakes couldn’t be any higher. For any team, beating their divisional rivals is always considered special. And the Rams did to the Cardinals just what the Bills did to the Patriots.

And talking of their rise after going from a three-game losing streak to now making the Divisional Round is just a story worth telling. While, on the flip side, the Cardinals though having a great start to the season, couldn’t keep the momentum going, and at last, met their unfortunate fate at the hands of their rivals.

The SoFi Stadium erupted when the Rams nearly destroyed the Cardinals in the game, and so did Twitter. It was a delight to watch the Rams bulldoze the Cardinals on their way to the next round. And while doing so, quarterback Matthew Stafford got sealed his first playoff victory, while OBJ caught the first playoff touchdown of his career.

 

Los Angeles Rams the complete team

However, it was a team effort since the whole Rams squad played like one unit. Yet it seemed to be more of a receiver’s night as the OBJ and Cooper Kupp duo ravaged the Cardinals throughout the game. Surprisingly Beckham also threw for a 40 yard gain to Cam Akers in the first down during the third quarter of the game.
