The Arizona Cardinals and LA Rams meet for the second time this season. Last time, at SoFi Stadium in Week 6, the Cardinals came away with a 16-15 last-second win. This time, they play at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
We know there are coaching connections between the two teams. Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur spent the last three seasons as the Rams' offensive coordinator. Former Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury is on the Rams' offensive staff.
There are also player connections. One Cardinals player and one Rams player used to be on the other team.
Cardinals TE Hunter Long
Long is currently on injured reserve but has been designated to return, and it appears he could be activated this week. Long played two seasons — 2023-2024 — for the Rams. He had seven
catches in 2024.
Rams OL Coleman Shelton
Shelton is the Rams' starting center. He has spent seven of the last eight seasons with the Rams. He was on the Cardinals' practice squad in 2018. He developed into a starter and has been one for the last five years.
