You guys, the Arizona Cardinals just pulled off a stunner in Los Angeles, beating the Rams on their own turf with a 43-yard field goal at the buzzer. But here’s the kicker: Cardinals linebacker Mack Wilson Sr. had this whole thing pegged months ago, and everyone thought he was nuts.
Mack Wilson Sr. Had The Receipts, And Now He’s Cashing In
Seriously, remember back in the summer when everyone was hyping up the Rams? NFC title game appearance, big-name additions like Myles Garrett, Aaron Donald coming out of retirement, Trent McDuffie on defense. Matthew Stafford, Sean McVay. The league had them as Super Bowl favorites, no question. But then Mack Wilson Sr. steps up and says, nah, the Rams still gotta worry about the rebuilding Cardinals. People laughed! They made fun of him for those comments. Who’s laughing now, though? Wilson’s words are looking totally prophetic after Sunday’s upset. He wasn’t just talking either, dude was on the field making it happen, logging nine tackles that were crucial in bottling up the Rams’ offense.
The Rams’ ‘Heavyweight’ Status Is Looking Mighty Light
What was supposed to be a dominant Rams team managed only 286 yards and a paltry 16 points against the Cardinals. That’s just not good enough for a squad that was supposed to be a juggernaut. With that wild loss, the Rams are now sitting at a shocking 2-4, technically tied for last place in the NFC West thanks to tiebreakers. It makes you wonder what’s going on. When does Myles Garrett come back and look like himself? When does Aaron Donald start dominating again? The Rams were built to be a heavyweight, but they are definitely not good right now. Sure, they might get healthy and figure it out for the second half of the season, but right now? Mack Wilson Sr. saw through the hype, and his Cardinals teammates backed him up big time. The league noticed.
