Glendale, AZ (Sports Network) - Janoris Jenkins returned two Ryan Lindley
interceptions for touchdowns to carry the St. Louis Rams over the slumping
Arizona Cardinals, 31-17, at University of Phoenix Stadium.
In addition to the big plays, Jenkins, a rookie out of North Alabama, helped
pitch a second-half shutout while limiting star wideout Larry Fitzgerald to
three catches for 31 yards.
Sam Bradford completed just 8-of-17 passes with an interception, but totaled
205 yards and two scores through the air for St. Louis (4-6-1), which had not
won since downing the Cardinals on Oct. 4.
Steven Jackson amassed a season-high 139 yards on 24 carries in the win.
Lindley, starting in place of the ineffective John Skelton, threw for 312
yards with four interceptions on 31-of-52 attempts in his first NFL start. The
rookie from San Diego State's turnovers resulted in a subpar 44.7 quarterback
rating.
Beanie Wells returned from a seven-game absence and ran for two scores in the
loss, Arizona's (4-7) seventh straight following a 4-0 start.
