LOOK: First Career Interception For Christian Rozeboom Comes at Clutch Time For Los Angeles Rams
As the Los Angeles Rams led the Arizona Cardinals 16-9 at the start of the fourth quarter, the visiting Cardinals were driving in an attempt to tie the game.
On the first play of the final frame, however, lightning struck for Rams linebacker Christian Rozeboom in a moment in his NFL career that he will never forget.
Cardinals quarterback Joshua Dobbs threw a pass behind his intended receiver that bounced off a hand and into Rozeboom's grasp, giving L.A. the ball and some momentum to try and hold onto its slim lead. You can see the play below.
After this career milestone for Rozeboom, his Rams teammates were quick to join him for a celebration in the end zone, providing another social media highlight for the team on Sunday.
Rozeboom's interception set the Rams offense up deep within its own territory, but they marched down the field for a score, extending the home lead to 23-9 with 8:15 left in the fourth quarter. Kyren Williams was responsible for the rushing touchdown in the end zone.

It was a difficult start for the Los Angeles offense on the day, only having five yards of rushing at halftime and facing a 9-6 deficit. Since that point, however, Williams has come alive in the ground game, putting up over 150 yards and a score.
