INGLEWOOD, Calif. – It took the slimmest of margins, but the Rams (10-6) found a way to hold on for a narrow 13-9 win over the Cardinals (7-9) Saturday night at SoFi Stadium.

Up 13-9 with 2:01 remaining, the Rams watched the Cardinals – armed with two timeouts – drive downfield all the way to the Rams' 5-yard line. Then cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon corralled Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray's deflected pass in the endzone for the game-sealing interception, which was upheld upon further review by the officials, allowing the Rams to survive.

Wide receiver Puka Nacua finished with 10 catches for 129 yards in the win, which was achieved despite the Cardinals winning the time of possession battle 36:55-23:05.

Defensive end Braden Fiske finished with two sacks in the win, and outside linebacker Michael Hoecht had his third blocked kick of the season. Running back Kyren Williams had 56 rushing yards and 1 touchdown, while kicker Joshua Karty made his lone field goal attempt (53 yards) and extra point attempt.

With their win over the Cardinals and the Bengals' win over the Broncos, the Rams can clinch the NFC West in Week 17 via the Strength of Victory tiebreaker over the Seahawks with three wins from any of these five teams this weekend: Commanders, Bills, 49ers, Vikings, Browns.

Here is the complete game recap:

Neither team was able to get into a rhythm offensively early on until late in the first quarter, when the Cardinals mounted a lengthy drive that went reached 11:04 in the second quarter. However, that series was upended after the Rams stonewalled Cardinals running back James Conner for no gain on 4th and 1 from the Rams 14.

The Rams finally broke through with 3:23 in the first half on a 1-yard run by Williams to take a 7-0 lead. The series was helped by explosive completions from Stafford of 29 yards to Cooper Kupp and 15 yards to Nacua.

A 53-yard field goal by Karty with 27 seconds left in the second quarter gave the Rams a 10-0 lead going into halftime.

Receiving the second-half kickoff, the Cardinals opened the third quarter with a lengthy scoring drive finished off with a 1-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Kyler Murray to tight end Trey McBride. However, the ensuing extra point attempt was blocked by Rams outside linebacker Michael Hoecht, giving the Rams a 10-6 lead with 8:31 left in the third quarter.

Arizona dominated time of possession the rest of the third quarter. Los Angeles had the ball once, and that drive lasted just 2 minutes and 12 seconds, whereas Arizona had the ball for 12:48 of that period. The second lengthy drive spilled into the fourth quarter before L.A.'s defense got a third down stop and held Arizona to a 28-yard field goal to maintain a slim 10-9 lead with 14 minutes left in the fourth quarter.

A promising drive on the ensuing possession left the Rams settling for a 25-yard field goal by Karty for a 13-9 lead with 6:33 remaining.

On the following series, Kobie Turner's key second-down sack ultimately forced the Cardinals to go for it on 4th and 10 from the Rams 40. Murray's desperation heave landed in the arms of Rams safety Kamren Kinchens for the interception, giving the ball back to the Rams with 3:02 remaining.

However, the Rams were forced to punt on the ensuing possession, giving the ball back to the Cardinals at their own 36 with 2:01 remaining. Witherspoon came up with the big interception with 42 seconds left, allowing the Rams run out the remaining clock to secure the win.
