I knew the Cardinals would come out fired up because they want to win the first game for their new coach. I also knew that Arians would try all their most successful plays they had practiced so that he could get the team winning in his first game.
But even more importantly, remember, this is a new offense and defense for the Cardinals. The Rams didn't know how to game plan against them. I think they were playing it safe in the first half because they didn't know how to scheme. Once they played against them for three quarters the Rams had a better idea of what they were doing. Then, the Rams made the proper adjustments and they dominated the Cardinals in the 4th quarter.
I think we'll see more 4th quarter Rams this season.
