About this Article

Even before Sam Bradford snapped out of it, the St. Louis Rams had enough points.Their fast-improving defense saw to that. Bradford busted a lengthy slump with a 52-yard touchdown pass to rookie Chris Givens for a two-TD cushion and Robert Quinn had three of the Rams’ nine sacks on Kevin Kolb to keep the previously unbeaten Arizona Cardinals in check in a 17-3 victory Thursday night.
