Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray sat out most of the first three quarters with an ankle injury and when he finally returned, wasn't able to rally the Cardinals into the playoffs.
Murray was hurt on the first possession Sunday and didn't return until early in the fourth quarter, when the Cardinals trailed the Los Angeles Rams 18-7.
That's how the game ended after Murray's first drive ended in a blocked field goal and he wasn't able to get the Cards any closer.
Arizona missed the playoffs for the fifth consecutive season. The Rams clinched a wild-card spot.
