Cardinals Top Rams In Thursday Night Football

(St. Louis, MO) -- Chandler Catanzaro drilled all four field goals to lift the Cardinals to a 12-6 victory over the Rams in "Thursday Night Football" from the Edward Jones Dome. Drew Stanton completed 12 passes for 109 yards but left with a knee injury in the third quarter. Kerwynn Williams rushed for 75 yards on 15 carries and Larry Fitzgerald caught seven passes for 30 yards in the win.

Patrick Peterson sealed the deal with a game-ending interception on a Hail Mary as Arizona improved to 11-3 and could be playoff bound following Sunday's results in the NFL. Shaun Hill threw for 229 yards and a pick in the loss with Tre Mason rushing 13 times for 33 yards. Stedman Bailey led the receivers with 74 yards on five catches as the Rams fell to 6-8.

The Rams recorded just one sack last night, but it was a hurtful one for the Cardinals. Rookie Aaron Donald knocked quarterback Drew Stanton out of the game with a knee injury in the third quarter. Arizona lost starting QB Carson Palmer to a knee injury against the Rams in Week 10.

There were no visible protests by any Rams players before last night's game against the Cardinals. Two weeks ago, five Rams came out of the tunnel in a "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" pose and some wrote "I Can't Breathe!!!" on their wrist bands and cleats last week at Washington.
