Cardinals really went into Sofi twice this season and came out of there with wins while it's still Pacific time in Arizo Via @LawMurrayTheNU on X

What happened: Arizona earned its second road victory in Inglewood on Sunday after finalizing pregame roster elevations that brought Evan Hull and Jerrick Reed II to the active list alongside safety Kitan Crawford off injured reserve. Both of the club's wins at the venue occurred prior to the November daylight saving transition, while Arizona still aligns with Pacific time.

Why it matters: The result moves the Cardinals to 2-4 after a 1-4 start had prompted front-office discussions around moving pass rusher Josh Sweat. Los Angeles contested the divisional matchup without starting tackle Alaric Jackson, who sat out to serve a one-game suspension that was reduced on appeal.

By the numbers: Arizona has recorded 2 wins at SoFi Stadium this season, surpassing the Rams' 1 win in their home building and outpacing the Chargers' home total there. Entering the weekend at 1-4, the Cardinals also hold trade piece Josh Sweat, who tallied 12 sacks in 17 games last season.

What to watch: Arizona's front office faces a Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline to decide whether Sunday's divisional win alters its seller posture.
