In NFL Week 13, the Los Angeles Rams will face the Arizona Cardinals. This matchup will go a long way in determining which teams make the NFL NFC playoffs. Sunday's game marks will be the first meeting of the NFL season between these NFC West division foes.

The Rams (7-4) are coming off of another division game against the San Francisco 49ers. In last week's game, Los Angeles came up just short in a 23-20 loss. For the most part, the Rams have used a running back by committee approach. But RB Cam Akers was the most productive back last week, as he rushed for 84 yards and a touchdown.

The Cardinals (6-5) played the New England Patriots on the road in NFL Week 12. But they failed to close the game against a struggling New England offense. New England clinched the victory on a kick from Nick Folk after Arizona missed a late field goal. Despite the 20-17 loss, the Cardinals defense consistently played well. A Dre Kirkpatrick interception highlighted this impressive performance.
