The NFC-leading Arizona Cardinals are set to hos the Los Angeles Rams in a crucial NFC West matchup on Monday night.

In the fist meeting between these two teams in Week 4, the Cardinals soundly defeated the Rams, 37-20. But their have been personnel changes on both sides of the ball since that matchup. The Rams have added Pro Bowler Odell Beckham Jr and running back Sony Michel. Arizona added Zach Ertz from the Philadelphia Eagles earlier in the season.

Both teams though will be without some major playmakers on Monday night. Arizona will miss J.J. Watt and Maxx Williams and the Rams announced that cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Tyler Higbee joined the team’s ever-growing reserve/COVID-19 list and will not be able to play.

For Arizona, a win or tie would secure the team’s first playoff berth since 2015. For Los Angeles, a victory is crucial to keeping pace in the division.
