The Arizona Cardinals feel right at home at SoFi Stadium.

After getting their first win of the season on the road in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers, the Cardinals got win No. 2 on Sunday against the Rams in their return to the Los Angeles area.

Arizona became the second team to win two road games at SoFi in the same season with Seattle also doing it in 2022. While the Cardinals are 2-0 there, the Rams and Chargers have combined for a 1-5 record, with the Rams having the only other win in Week 2 against the New York Giants.

The Cardinals became the 29th team to win two road games in the same stadium in a regular season with the other 27 coming against the New York Giants and Jets at Shea Stadium, Giants Stadium and MetLife Stadium.

It was the first time they won a game without a touchdown since beating Tennessee 12-7 on Dec. 10, 2017. The last time the Rams lost without allowing a TD came in a 12-6 loss to the Cardinals on Dec. 11, 2014.
