GLENDALE, Ariz. — The St. Louis Rams didn’t need a great offensive performance to end their eight-game losing streak to Arizona.
Not against a Cardinals team that can’t muster a touchdown.
Steven Jackson rushed for 102 yards, including 27 on the game’s lone TD, and St. Louis sent Arizona to its seventh loss in a row, 19-6 on Sunday.
The Rams (6-6) won consecutive road games for the first time since Nov. 18, 2007, and remained in a first-place tie with Seattle in the weak NFC West.
Josh Brown kicked four field goals for St. Louis.
Rookie quarterback John Skelton made his NFL debut for Arizona (3-9) in the fourth quarter after Derek Anderson was benched and backup Max Hall went out with a dislocated left shoulder.
After the game, coach Ken Whisenhunt said Anderson “didn’t seem right” after taking several hard hits in the first half. Whisenhunt said Anderson would be checked out for a possible concussion.
The Cardinals didn’t score a touchdown for the second game in a row and have just one in their last three contests — on the final play of a 31-13 loss at Kansas City.
St. Louis scored 19 consecutive points after Jay Feely’s first-quarter field goals of 45 and 41 yards put Arizona up 6-0.
Rams rookie quarterback Sam Bradford passed for 187 yards and threw just his second interception in the last seven games.
