Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods, left, catches a pass against Arizona Cardinals middle linebacker Jordan Hicks (58) during the first half of an NFL football game in Inglewood, Calif., Sunday, Jan. 3, 2021.
It ended with the inexperienced quarterback fearlessly leading the Los Angeles Rams back to the playoffs.
And though Wolford capably did his part, everybody in the Rams' jubilant locker room realized they owed this achievement to a dominant defense that scored as many points as the Rams' offense ā and a couple more than the Arizona Cardinals ā in Los Angeles' 18-7 victory Sunday.
Wolford passed for 231 yards and rushed for 56 more, producing many moments of excitement in place of injured Jared Goff.
Wolford racked up 47 yards rushing in the first half ā more than Goff managed in any game of his five-year career.
