The Los Angeles Rams slipped to 2-4 through Week 6 of the 2026 season following a home defeat to the Arizona Cardinals, who were 13.5-point underdogs entering SoFi Stadium. The loss placed the Rams at the bottom of the NFC West.
Running back Kyren Williams recorded a season-low 13 touches, rushing 10 times for 50 yards and adding three catches for 17 yards on six targets. He played 72.4 percent of snaps, his third-highest rate this year. Backup Blake Corum handled 11 touches, his second-most in any game this season, while taking 27.6 percent of offensive snaps.
Williams has averaged 13.3 rushing attempts per contest through six games in 2026, a decline from 17.8 carries per game over his prior three campaigns. When asked about his decreased workload, Williams said, "Probably because I'm not out there."
Los Angeles marks only the fifth time in five decades that a team picked as the preseason Super Bowl favorite has started 2-4 or worse. The four earlier clubs with such records all failed to advance to the championship game.
