Arizona Cardinals have put themselves in a position that no team wants to be in. Cardinals must win on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams to make the 2020 NFL Playoffs. It is crazy to think that once in first place of the AFC West, the Cardinals are in a must win game in Week 17.
Los Angeles Rams will also be in a situation where they could miss the 2020 NFL Playoffs. It would take a lot for the Rams to miss the playoffs but this 2020 NFL Season has shown us anything can happen. Los Angeles Rams have dropped tough games in the past two weeks. The biggest loss was to the winless New York Jets in Week 15.
