The undefeated Arizona Cardinals a trying to improve to 5-0 when they take on the St. Louis Rams at the Edward Jones Dome for Thursday Night Football action at 8:20 p.m. ET.
The recent stellar play of quarterback Kevin Kolb, who has completed 62.6 percent of his passes while throwing seven touchdowns and two interceptions, can be credited with the Cardinals success.

Despite their victories, quarterback Sam Bradford, who has one of the lowest passer ratings in the league (80.1) placing him 22nd among starting quarterbacks this season. They've also seen limited production from running back Steven Jackson, who has rushed for 195 yards and no touchdowns this seasons.
The Rams are 2-0 at home and have a clear advantage with the short week. Arizona won its only road game of the season against the Patriots.
