Tonight at 8:30 p.m. ET on NFL Network the Arizona Cardinals (10-3) will take on the surging St. Louis Rams (6-7) on Thursday Night Football at the Edward Jones Dome in an NFC West clash that can be live streamed by clicking this link. Rams fans can listen to the game on 92.3 KTAR, while St. Louis fans can catch the radio broadcast on 101 ESPN.
The Cardinals haven't looked the same since Carson Palmer went down, but head coach Bruce Arians is hoping the magnitude of their situation, atop the NFC West with the defending champion Seattle Seahawks breathing down their necks, will help them rise to the occasion.
"For some teams, (playing in December) doesn't mean a damn thing except the season's almost over," Arians said. "This one means a lot because everything rides from here on in, so every game is a real playoff game, especially in the NFC."
Injuries are taking their toll on the Cards. Before the season began they lost DT Darnell Dockett, and are now missing their quarterback (Palmer), their top rusher (Andre Ellington), safety Tryann Mathieu, and possibly cornerback Antonio Cromartie.
They're also taking on a red-hot Rams team playing far better than their middling record would indicate. "They're playing as good a football as anybody now," defensive tackle Calais Campbell said. "It's a division game, a team you know. They know us, guys you've played against multiple times. It's going to be a good football game."
Rams QB Shaun Hill has to watch out for Arizona's other CB Patrick Peterson, who has 14 career picks, five of which have come against the Rams.
