The Los Angeles Rams secured a vital 13-9 win over the Arizona Cardinals, pulling them one step closer to clinching the NFC West title. The game-changing moment came in the final quarter when cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon intercepted a crucial pass. This victory follows the Bengals' win over the Broncos earlier that day, making the Rams' path to the division championship more likely.

At halftime, the Rams led 10-0, but the Cardinals narrowed the gap in the third quarter to just one point. A touchdown by Trey McBride brought the score to 10-6. The Cardinals then added a field goal, making it 10-9. In the fourth quarter, the Rams managed a field goal to extend their lead to 13-9.

The Cardinals had a chance to score late in the game, reaching the Rams' 5-yard line with under a minute left. However, Witherspoon's interception sealed the win for Los Angeles. This victory brings the Rams' record to 10-6. They need either three wins from certain teams this weekend or a victory over the Seahawks in Week 18 to clinch the division. The 7-9 Cardinals face the 49ers next week to close out their season.
