Chad Ryland kicked a 43-yard field goal as time expired to seal the victory. It was his sixth field goal of the game.

“These guys are a resilient group.”

— Mike LaFleur

Arizona entered the game on a four-game losing streak and had not scored a touchdown in recent weeks. Jacoby Brissett passed for 218 yards.

The Rams took a 15-15 lead with 47 seconds left after Matthew Stafford threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Colby Parkinson. Punter Ethan Evans kicked the extra point because kicker Blake Grupe had left the game with a knee injury.

A controversial unnecessary roughness penalty on Rams cornerback Josh Wallace helped Arizona move into field-goal range. Fox analysts said the hit should not have been flagged.

The loss dropped Los Angeles to 2-4. Arizona improved to 2-4 and earned its second win at SoFi this season.
