The Arizona Cardinals edged out the Los Angeles Chargers 17-15 on Monday Night Football in Glendale, clinching the victory with a last-second field goal by Chad Ryland. Running back James Conner was instrumental in the win, rushing for 101 yards on 19 carries, including five runs of 10+ yards and forcing eight missed tackles. His crucial 33-yard gain on the final drive set up the game-winning kick. Conner now has 48 missed tackles forced this season, second-most in the NFL behind Jordan Mason. Quarterback Kyler Murray contributed significantly with 209 total yards and two touchdowns, including a 44-yard touchdown run. The Chargers relied solely on kicker Cameron Dicker, who scored all their points with four field goals, the last of which gave them a 15-14 lead with 1:54 remaining. A key unnecessary roughness penalty against the Chargers on the final drive aided the Cardinals' progress. The victory improves Arizona's record to 3-4 as they prepare to face the Miami Dolphins next week.
