DEFENSE

— With L.A. having complete control of the game midway through the fourth quarter, the Rams removed their defensive starters for the remainder of the contest.

— The starting secondary of Marcus Peters, Aqib Talib, Lamarcus Joyner, and John Johnson played the most of any starters at 35 snaps (78 percent).

— Signal-caller Cory Littleton was also on the field for 34 snaps (76 percent). The one play he was not in for came early in the second quarter, when a Rams blitz seemed to confuse the Cardinals' offensive front and outside linebacker Samson Ebukam ended up with his first sack of the season.

— Nose tackle Ndamukong Suh played the most of anyone on the defensive line rotation, recording 33 snaps (73 percent). Defensive tackle Aaron Donald was in for 30 (67 percent), and Michael Brockers 21 (47 percent).

— Starting in place of the injured Mark Barron, Ramik Wilson played 20 snaps (44 percent). Safety Marqui Christian played the majority of the time at that spot in known-passing situations, with 30 snaps (67 percent). Christian finished second on the team with five total tackles.

— Cornerback Sam Shields was in for 11 plays, mainly in the fourth quarter when the outcome had all but been determined. And he was productive, recording his first interception since Dec. 2015.
