Arizona Cardinals

As if playing against the Seahawks twice wasn’t tough enough, the Rams also have to deal with playing the Arizona Cardinals twice as well.

After falling just short of appearing in the Super Bowl last year, the Cardinals enter the 2016 season with an extra chip on their shoulder as they know the window to win with Carson Palmer at quarterback is close. Not only does Arizona have one of the league’s top offenses thanks to Palmer, but the defense made the Cardinals one of the top overall teams in 2015.

Despite their embarrassing 27-3 loss last December, the Rams did manage to pull off an impressive 24-22 win at Arizona last October. It certainly won’t be easy, but Los Angeles knows just how tough the NFC West is going to be once again in 2016 and Arizona is going to do whatever it takes to repeat as division champions.
