Devon Walker: "Dante Moore had the better afternoon—326 yards and 4 touchdowns against a Rams defense that couldn't generate pressure, and Arizona's 441 total yards were enough to win a shootout that probably shouldn't have been close." Sierra Vaughn: "Mensah threw 5 touchdowns and still lost—that's the real story here. Los Angeles got the passing performance of the season from its quarterback and couldn't overcome a 97-yard gap in total offense, which tells you where this team actually stands at 4-5."

Cardinals and Rams combined for 77. Somebody had to lose it. Dante Moore did the damage for Cardinals — 17/24, 326 yards, 4 TD. Darian Mensah did the damage for Rams — 16/24, 226 yards, 5 TD — in a losing effort. Dante Moore's high-water mark for the year. Total yards: Cardinals 441, Rams 344.

42-23, and neither defence wants to watch it back. Brock Purdy was steady for 49ers — 17/27, 222 yards, 2 TD, 3 INT — in a losing effort. De'Zhaun Stribling moved the ball for 49ers — 6 catches, 114 yards, 2 TD. A season best for Nyziah Hunter. Through the air: 49ers 222, Cardinals 182.

Scoreboard operators earned their money. Cardinals 36, Seahawks 24. Sam Darnold was steady for Seahawks — 22/37, 310 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT — in a losing effort. Dante Moore was steady for Cardinals — 21/29, 268 yards, 2 TD. Dante Moore has not had a better afternoon this season. On the ground: Cardinals 147, Seahawks 32.

Riley Parker: "Carson Beck threw 4 touchdown passes on a day when San Francisco couldn't protect its quarterback enough to stay in rhythm—25 completions on 41 attempts tells you everything about a team that had to live in desperation mode while Arizona got to play its game." Nicole Santos: "San Francisco's season is done, but the real problem isn't what happened today—it's that a team that threw 41 times while gaining 357 yards still couldn't keep pace with a Cardinals team that ran the ball 139 yards and didn't turn it over once."

Cardinals handled 49ers 35-16. Carson Beck threw for Cardinals — 20/29, 220 yards, 4 TD. Brock Purdy was steady for 49ers — 25/41, 260 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT — in a losing effort. Michael Wilson's high-water mark for the year. On the ground: Cardinals 139, 49ers 97.

Talia Morgan: "Arizona's defense forced 4 Raiders turnovers and Las Vegas couldn't overcome it — you can't gift away the ball that many times and expect to survive in a 3-point game." Luca Santana: "Arizona's ground game—127 yards to Las Vegas's 52—controlled this thing from start to finish, and that's what actually won the game: the Cardinals ran the ball when it mattered and the Raiders couldn't match that on either side of the line." Elise Carter: "Las Vegas had a playoff seed locked in and still couldn't protect the football—4 turnovers against a team fighting for its life says everything about who deserved to keep playing."
