The Los Angeles Rams fall 18-16 to the Arizona Cardinals in a pivotal divisional clash on Oct. 18, 2026, with five decisive moments sealing their defeat. A missed two‑point conversion after Blake Corum’s TD, a failed 4th‑and‑1 FB dive by Davis Allen, and a pre‑snap false start that forced a botched 4th‑and‑8 screen all stymied drives.
