In the 1970s especially, the NFL was about running the football and tough defense and not giving up big plays when it came to winning championships, and, in a lot of cases, just winning, period. The very good teams in the 1970s like the LA Rams were defensive and run-oriented partly because the rules until 1978 heavily favored defensive football and that is what you see in this game, a Rams team with a great defense and running game taking apart a finesse-oriented passing team like the Cardinals.
