The Los Angeles Rams are trying to avenge their Week 6 loss to the Arizona Cardinals when they visit the desert this weekend for a divisional rematch. They played terribly in their first meeting, losing 18-16 at home, but Sean McVay wants his team to bring the energy this time around after looking flat four weeks ago.

Here are eight stats and facts to know for Sunday's game.

Cardinals have allowed 30-plus points in 6 of 9 games this season

The Cardinals have been atrocious defensively this season. They rank 31st in points allowed, giving up 28.3 per game. They've allowed at least 30 points in six of nine games this season. The only teams that didn't score at least 30 against the Cardinals were the Chargers in Week 1, the Rams in Week 6 and the Seahawks in Week 9. The Chargers scored 14, the Rams scored 16 and the Seahawks scored 17.

Rams and Cardinals are both top 3 in pass attempts

These are two pass-happy offenses, though that may not be the case on Sunday with all the injuries they've each dealt with. The Cardinals have attempted the most passes in the NFL with 359, but they're just 18th in passing yards and 29th in net yards per pass attempt (5.1). That shows how terribly inefficient Arizona's passing game has been.

The Rams, meanwhile, have the third-most pass attempts (349) and have the seventh-most yards and are 14th in net yards per attempt (6.3).

Cardinals are one of the NFL's worst teams in the red zone

The Cardinals can neither score touchdowns nor keep opponents out of the end zone from inside the 20. They have a touchdown rate of 42.9% in the red zone, which is 30th in the NFL. Defensively, not much better. They allow touchdowns on 70% of opponent red zone trips, which is 27th.

If this game comes down to converting in the red zone, the Rams have a major advantage. They're seventh in red zone touchdown rate on offense and sixth on defense.

Rams and Cardinals are both missing top 2 WRs

The Rams came into the season with Puka Nacua and Davante Adams as their top two wide receivers. The Cardinals had Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson. None of those four receivers will be on the field Sunday. At least not for the Rams or Cardinals.

Adams and Nacua are both injured, while Harrison was traded to the Texans and Wilson is out for the year with a neck injury.

Rookie QBs are 2-9 vs. Sean McVay

Carson Beck is making his first career start on Sunday, replacing the injured Gardner Minshew. He will be the 12th rookie quarterback to face the Rams, and history is not on his side. The previous 11 quarterbacks to start against the Rams as a rookie went 2-9, with Caleb Williams and Tua Tagovailoa being the only ones to win.

Tyler Shough and Cam Ward both lost to the Rams as rookies last season.

Rams and Cardinals are on opposite ends of missed-tackle rates

The Rams have been a very good tackling team this season, missing on only 8.5% of their attempts, which is sixth-best in the NFL, according to Fantasy Points Data. The Cardinals, on the other hand, have the third-highest missed tackle rate (11.5%).

There should be chances for the Rams' receivers and backs to pick up yards with the ball in their hands this week, whether after the catch or in the open field.

Rams are only team that hasn't allowed a 1st-quarter TD

The Rams offense may be getting off to slow starts, but their defense has been excellent early in games. They haven't allowed a single first-quarter touchdown all year, allowing just 2.7 points per game in the first quarter, which is fifth-best.

The Cardinals average only 3.8 first-quarter points per game, which is 22nd. The Rams are even worse on offense, scoring just 3.7 points per game in the first quarter, ranking 24th.

Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett were top 5 in pass-rush win rate last week

Beck could be in trouble against the tandem of Donald and Garrett. In their first game as teammates last week, Garrett ranked second in pass-rush win rate (28.6%) and Donald was fifth (25.8%). Garrett had three sacks, two of which were assisted by Donald's pressure.
