The Arizona defense was the difference in the victory, giving up 100 yards rushing and 181 passing, coming away with two interceptions while returning one interception for a touchdown. They terrorized Clemens and the Rams offensive line with four sacks.
Rams tight end Jared Cook tallied 49 receiving yards.
The Cardinals head to Nashville next week to face the Titans (5-8) while the Rams host the Saints (9-3).
