Los Angeles Rams starters to play vs. Arizona Cardinals un Week 18

The Arizona Cardinals will face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday in their final game of the season. At 3-13, they know the season is over. The Rams, though, will move on to the postseason.

With their loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night, they are out of contention for the NFC West title and the No. 1 seed in the conference. However, the Rams expect to play their starters.

Rams coach Sean McVay said postgame on Monday that the starters would play in the finale against the Cardinals. The Rams are locked into either the No. 5 or No. 6 seed in the NFC.

That means there won't be a break for the Cardinals as they try to snap an eight-game losing streak.

That said, McVay did not say how long the starters would play. It is not uncommon for teams in their same situation to play the starters and then rest them for part of the game.

The Cardinals and Rams kick off Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET (2:25 p.m. Arizona time) from SoFi Stadium.
