While its true that four teams that started out with a losing record last season after three games managed to recover and advance to the postseason, Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians never expected to see his team with a 1-2 record entering Sundays game against the visiting Los Angeles Rams.Then again, a handful of teams viewed as Super Bowl contenders have hit their share of pot holes already in 2016. The Cardinals, who reached the NFC Championship last season, are just one of them.Yeah, its been that way for a long time, Arians said. You better show up every Sunday with your A game and a lot of passion and pride, or if the other team is, theyre going to beat you. Theres nobody that cant be beat and nobody that you cant beat. Thats the way you have to look at every week.Though the Rams are 2-1 and are in sole possession of first place in the NFC West, theyve had their share of problems, too. Yes, theyve won back-to-back games, but they didnt score their first touchdown until last week and theyve had two players ejected from games the last two weeks.Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer knows Arizona will have its hands full trying to put points up against the Rams defense, which is anchored by disruptive defensive tackle Aaron Donald.Theres always a little bit of a difference, but personnel-wise, its as good as youll find, Palmer said. Theyre coached extremely well. The defensive coordinator is one of the best in the league. Its a great, great group.Arizona has won six of the last nine meetings at home, but the Cardinals have looked incredibly shaky in their two losses, especially last Sundays 33-18 fiasco at Buffalo. Rams coach Jeff Fisher said hes fully expecting a different Arians-led team to show up this weekend.Bruce is outstanding and hell have them ready, Fisher said. Its a veteran team and we expect to see them at their best. Its always a great matchup and hell have them ready. You know, those things happen. It happened to us in Week 1. You move on. You put it behind you and you move on.The Cardinals explosive offense from a year ago, however, has been a dud so far. It ranks 14th in total yards, 16th in third-down conversion percentage and it has yet to score a point in the first quarter of play. Against the Bills, the Cardinals first five series were all three-and-out clunkers.Hey, Buffalo made some plays, Fisher said. They were in a must-win situation and they made some plays. Sometimes, thats how games go. Look around the league. No one would have expected Pittsburgh to go through the experience they went through (losing to the Eagles, 34-3). Three and outs are a part of the game.They are talented. I mean, hey, it took us to Week 3 to score a touchdown.Arians, though, hasnt been happy since the regular season began. In addition to slow starts to begin games, his Cardinals havent responded to halftime adjustments when coming out of the locker room to start the third quarter. There also continues to be far too many communication problems on offense, be it among the offensive line or with Palmer and his receivers.That was rarely the case last season when Arizona set multiple franchise records on offense on its way to a 13-3 regular-season record.Every year is different. When you get everybody back, you expect to be as good or better, Arians said. But, other things change. Again, our performance is not acceptable so far.Rams running back Todd Gurley, meanwhile, is still trying to find his way three games into the season. He ranks 18th in rushing yards (183) and is only averaging 2.9 yards per carry.People say hes not off to a great start, but I think you could say that about our offense as a whole; it has nothing to do with Todd, Fisher said. Todds 16-yard run (against Tampa Bay) down inside the 1-yard line, I think, is one of the best runs Ive ever seen here recently. So, it kind of shows you what hes capable of doing.Rams fans are still waiting to see what No.1 overall draft pick, quarterback Jared Goff, is capable of doing. Especially when considering what rookie quarterbacks like Philadelphias Carson Wentz and Dallas Dak Prescott have managed to do thus far.Fisher said it was never the plan to keep his rookie QB on the sideline for a full season, watching and waiting behind starter Case Keenum.No, the plan is to play him when hes ready, Fisher said. I never came out and said ... Ive not given a timetable. As Ive mentioned numerous times over the past couple of weeks, had there not been injuries, we would not have had four rookie quarterbacks starting last weekend. Theyd all be sitting. But injuries are part of the game, so it creates different opportunities and different situations for different teams and different players.But our plan with Jared is to bring him along. Case was our starter, he finished up strong last year and he comes back and right now hes won two games back-to-back and hes making plays for us. The experience for Jared has been tremendous. Hes getting better every day. The whole experience in itself, just watching and preparing to play, knowing that youre a play away from playing, I think, is additional added experience for him.

One pitch later, he was running away from his celebrating teammates. Ellsbury hit a game-ending, two-run double on Joe Smiths first pitch, capping a four-run, ninth-inning rally that lifted the Boston Red Sox over the Cleveland Indians 6-5 Sunday. Cleveland led 5-2 entering the ninth, when Chris Perez (2-1) walked Dustin Pedroia leading off. David Ortiz doubled, and Mike Napoli and Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit consecutive RBI groundouts. Walks to Jonny Gomes and Jose Iglesias around Stephen Drews single loaded the bases. Perez fell behind Ellsbury 2-1 in the count and left with a shoulder injury. Ellsbury then doubled to left-centre, and was chased down by teammates who ran from the dugout to celebrate Bostons ninth win in 12 games. "His mindset, I would think, is to attack the hitter," Ellsbury said in the middle of Bostons clubhouse. "The last thing I think hes wants to do is walk me and bring in the tying run. I just wanted to be aggressive in the zone and get a pitch I could drive. Fortunately, I got it." Boston won three of four against Cleveland, managed by Terry Francona in his first series back at Fenway Park since leaving the Red Sox after the 2011 season. Francona led the Red Sox to World Series titles in 2004 and 2007. It was Bostons ninth win in 12 games. "When you think back to the ninth inning, they key at-bat to me was Iglesias walk," Boston manager John Farrell said. "He fouls off a tough two-strike pitch, takes a close 3-2 pitch to walk. Unfortunately for them, Perez goes out with an injury. We felt like when Smith came in, that arm slot fit Jakes (Jacobys) swing pretty well, and we saw the reason for it." Perez said hes been dealing with some arm pain. "I felt a little something in the shoulder today out there. Obviously not the best timing there. So, its something I have to deal with," he said. "On that last pitch to Ellsbury. It kind of pinched on me and sent a little pain down my arm. Then I tried to throw another pitch, and it just wasnt happening." Francona knew what a tough spot it was for Smith. "Its very difficult. Thats tough duty," he said. "With a 2-1 count youve got to throw a strike, andd he did.dddddddddddd. To Ellsburys credit, he put the wood on it and put the barrel on it and now weve got to go regroup." Craig Breslow (2-0) allowed one run and two hits in two innings. Red Sox starter Felix Doubront gave up four runs -- two earned -- and five hits in six innings with eight strikeouts. Boston trailed 4-3 in the eighth inning of Saturdays 7-4 win. "It shows the desire of this team the last two days," Gomes said. Clevelands Corey Kluber gave up one run and three hits in 6 2-3 innings. Nick Swisher and Jason Kipnis hit solo homers for the Indians. Carlos Santanas two-run single hit a two-run single in the first after Ellsbury dropped Kipnis fly to centre for an error. Daniel Nava had an RBI single in the third after Stephen Drew snapped an 0-for-17 slide with a double. Kipnis homered off the Pesky Pole in right in the fifth, and Swisher homered in the Green Monster seats in left leading off the sixth. Swishers sacrifice fly made it 5-1 in the eighth, and Iglesias had a sacrifice fly in the bottom half. NOTES: Boston RHP Clay Buchholz (7-0, 1.73 ERA) was scratched from his scheduled start against Philadelphia on Monday night because of inflammation in the collarbone area. Tyler Cloyd (1-0, 2.70 ERA) starts for the visiting Phillies in the opener of a two-game series. "The doctors said I could throw and it wouldnt affect my delivery. It was my call," Buchholz said.
