ST. LOUIS (AP) Arizona's 24-point second quarter took the fight out of the St. Louis Rams.

The Cardinals were in total command after scoring 10 points on turnovers and adding a pair of long scoring plays on touchdowns by Tim Hightower and Jerheme Urban in a 34-13 victory on Sunday. Kurt Warner held it together with his 45th 300-yard passing game, throwing for two touchdowns to beat the team he led to two Super Bowls from 1999-2001.

Arizona (5-3) ran off 31 straight points to win for only the second time in five road games and solidify its NFC West lead against a team that had been hoping to climb back into the race. The Rams (2-6) have lost two straight after winning their first two games under new coach Jim Haslett.
