Lansing, MI, October 18, 2026 —
The Arizona Cardinals defeated the Los Angeles Rams 18-16 in Inglewood, California, on a game-winning field goal by Chad Ryland as time expired. The result gave Arizona an 18-16 victory over the Rams, a two-point margin.
The available account identifies Ryland as the kicker responsible for the decisive score and says the field goal came as time expired. It does not specify the distance of the kick, the length of the drive that set it up, or the score before the kick. Details about how either team scored earlier in the game were also not provided.
The game took place in Inglewood, but the date and venue name were not included in the account. It also did not provide season or competition details, team records, attendance, or other individual performances. No statements from players, coaches or team officials were included.
The reported final score establishes that Arizona finished two points ahead of Los Angeles. Beyond that result and the timing of Ryland’s field goal, the circumstances surrounding the finish remain unspecified. The information provided does not say whether the kick followed a late change in possession, how much time remained before the attempt, or what led to the teams’ scoring totals.
The central fact is the narrow Cardinals win, decided by Ryland’s kick at the expiration of time. Further details about the game’s progression and the teams’ reactions were not available in the summary.
