The Los Angeles Rams and the Arizona Cardinals do battle on Sunday, Oct. 15. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial) and DirecTV Stream (free trial).

When the Rams gutted their roster during the offseason in an attempt to solve most of their salary cap problems in one year, their disappointed fans took comfort in the fact the Rams still didn’t look like the worst team in the NFC West, given the Cardinals’ concurrent franchise reset.

They’ll find out whether that small comfort was justified when the Cardinals (1-4) attempt to claim their third consecutive regular-season win at SoFi Stadium in this divisional rivalry on Sunday.

The Rams (2-3) haven’t been as good as the three Super Bowl contenders that beat them this season, but they’ve remained competitive in every game. The same consolation is keeping hope alive for fans of the Cards, who were surprisingly competitive early in the season before struggling in their last two outings.

The Cardinals have been outscored 54-7 in the fourth quarter, while the Rams — who were shut out in the second half of a loss to Philadelphia last week — are being outscored in every quarter except the first this season. Both teams are eager for a late-game breakthrough that could arrive this week.

The most intriguing matchup appears to be Matthew Stafford and receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua against an undermanned Arizona defense going through serious growing pains under 30-year-old rookie coordinator Nick Rallis. The Cardinals have allowed the most passing yards of any NFC team, and the Bengals’ Ja’Marr Chase tore them up with 15 catches for 192 yards and three touchdowns last week.

When is Cardinals-Rams?

The Rams and Cardinals play at 3:25 p.m. (4:25 p.m. ET) on Sunday, Oct. 15.
