GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Rams were in need of a spark with the Arizona Cardinals slowly chipping away at a double-digit lead built in the first quarter.
Cam Akers stepped up, something Rams coach Sean McVay had been waiting for after saying two weeks ago that he needed more urgency from his running back.
Akers’ angry runs regained control for the Rams, and he was on the verge of putting the game before fumbling at the goal line to give quarterback Kyler Murray and the Cardinals new life on Sunday at State Farm Stadium.
