Here are the grades for the St. Louis Rams after their not-so-pretty 31-17 victory over the Cardinals at Arizona:

QUARTERBACK: Chat room whipping boy Sam Bradford had an interesting day. He wasn't efficient, but he made some big plays and proved his toughness. He threw an ugly interception into the Arizona end zone, throwing late as Austin Pettis flashed open. He suffered two sacks and missed some targets badly while under duress. He was lucky to recover his own fumble after a strip-sack. He completed only eight of 17 passes overall.

But Bradford rallied the Rams from 14-7 and 21-17 deficits by throwing touchdown passes to Lance Kendricks and Chris Givens respectively. By producing 12.1 yards per passing attempt, he finished with a sterling 106.3 passer rating. Back-up Kellen Clemens stepped in for only play (after Bradford got racked) and had a pass batted down.
