Rams Need a Playoff Tune-up, so Their Starters Will Roll in the Finale Against Freefalling Cardinals
Coach Sean McVay opts to play all healthy starters in Sunday’s game to prepare for playoffs after Rams’ recent losses, holding an 11-5 record, officials said.
- On Sunday, the Los Angeles Rams will keep healthy starters in the lineup at SoFi Stadium for their final home game, serving as a playoff tune-up before the wild-card round next week.
- Following a two-game swoon, Sean McVay, Los Angeles Rams head coach, kept starters in, departing from past seasons after blowing a 14-point lead on Dec. 18 and the Dec. 29, 2025 Atlanta loss.
- The Rams' passing attack has been potent, averaging 9.1 yards per attempt against Arizona, while Kyren Williams is expected to take most carries with Blake Corum managing an ankle issue.
- Matthew Stafford has one more game to bolster his MVP case, and a Rams win could clinch the No. 5 seed if the San Francisco 49ers lose to Seattle on Saturday; otherwise, they would be the No. 6 seed.
- Despite a rough year, Michael Wilson and Trey McBride have been bright spots as McBride set an NFL record with 119 receptions, while Jonathan Gannon faces an uncertain future.
