Philadelphia Eagles Vs Los Angeles Rams | Sunday November 24th
The Philadelphia Eagles enter this game riding a six-game winning streak that has reignited the team’s energy and enthusiasm among their fans. Now sitting at 8-2 and just one game out of the NFC’s top seed, the Eagles have come a long way since their 2-2 start, when head coach Nick Sirianni's seat was starting to get hot. The streak has been fueled by a dominant rushing attack, with Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts combining for an impressive 181.3 rushing yards and 1.9 rushing touchdowns per game—both the league’s best. The potent ground game has also opened up the passing attack, with Hurts completing 69% of his passes, ranking 7th in the NFL. On the defensive side, the Eagles have been just as dominant, leading the league in opposition yards allowed per game, allowing only 273 total yards per contest. With their balanced attack and stingy defense, the Eagles have firmly established themselves as one of the league’s best teams once again.
The Rams were hit hard by injuries to start the season, derailing their early momentum. Cooper Kupp missed four games, Puka Nacua was sidelined for five games after an injury in Week 1, and Tyler Higbee has yet to suit up in 2024 after being hurt in last season's Wild Card game. These setbacks contributed to the Rams' rough 1-4 start. However, whatever Sean McVay said after that fourth loss seemed to spark the team, as they have gone 4-1 since, scoring 20+ points in each of their victories. Last weekend, Kupp and Nacua were unstoppable against the Patriots, combining for 229 yards and 3 touchdowns to lead the Rams to a crucial win to bring them back to .500.
Matthew Stafford continues to defy Father Time in his 16th NFL season, showing no signs of decline. He’s averaging 35 pass attempts per game, ranking 7th in the league, while also sitting 7th in passing yards per game at just over 240 yards a game. On defense, the Rams have been strong against the run, ranking 10th in opposition yards per carry—a crucial factor as they face Philadelphia’s potent ground attack. They also rank 8th in opposition rushing touchdowns per game, a key area given how heavily the Eagles rely on their rushing offense. The pivotal matchup in this game will be the battle in the trenches between Philadelphia’s dynamic rushing attack and Los Angeles’ stout run defense. Whichever team wins that battle will likely dictate the outcome of this game.
While much of the focus will be on the Eagles’ dominant run game, an equally critical factor will be how Kyren Williams fares against Jalen Carter and Philadelphia’s formidable defensive line. Williams started the season on fire, scoring a touchdown in each of the first six games, but he’s been kept out of the end zone over the past four contests. For the Rams to have a real shot at pulling off an upset, getting Williams involved early and establishing the run will be crucial. However, the Eagles are arguably the hottest team in the NFL right now, and for the Rams to knock them off, they’ll need a complete performance, firing on all cylinders on both sides of the ball.
