Unbelievable
Jordan Davis blocks the FG. The Eagles win
FG block than taunting penalty for Jalen Carter
A huge Fg block for Carter to keep the score at 26-21, followed by a taunting penalty. Carter has 5 unnecessary roughness penalties (or their variants) since entering the league. Eagles just don’t let up.
Eagles have questionable 4th down decision
After getting a stop on 4th-and-1, the Eagles decide to go for it on 4th-and-7 from the 50. Jalen Hurts almost throws an INT intended for A.J. Brown, but it was interesting why the Eagles didn’t punt in a 26-21 game with just under 10 minutes to go.
Rams get ball at 50 and are driving.

Rams 26, Eagles 21
Eagles have life
All it took was a Hurts pass to A.J. brown to get the offense going. brown catches and 8-yard pass and the floodgates open. Hurts finds Browns for 38 yards on the next play, then Dallas Goedert for a 33-yard TD.
Hurts was 3-of-3 for 69 yards and a TD on that drive. Now can the Eagles stop the Rams?

This Eagles offense is really bad without Lane Johnson
Rams 26, Eagles 7
Jalen Hurts was sacked on the 2nd offensive play to open the 2nd half. Just Hurts’ 5th giveaway in his last 17 games.
Matt Pryor just didn’t block Jared Verse. The Eagles offense has run 14 plays since Lane Johnson has been out. They have -3 yards (not counting kneeldowns).
Punt, Punt, Punt, Punt, Turnover
Rams score a TD on first play off turnover. Stafford to Kyren Williams for the score.
Jalen Hurts — since Lane Johnson exited the game
2-of-5, 1 yard, 0.2 YPA, 47.9 rating (sacked twice) 1 carry, -1 yard
These are actual numbers. This is the worst Hurts has played with the Eagles. He missed a wide open throw to Jahan Dotson, has no progressions in his throws, and no trust in any of his reads. And A.J. Brown still doesn’t have a catch.
This is bad.
Fans booing after Eagles go 3-and-out again
The fans are booing the Eagles after running the ball on 3rd-and-16 on their own 8.
The Eagles have -1 pass yard.
A.J. Brown has 1 target. He has 0 catches.
Since Lane Johnson has been out: 12 plays, -3 yards — -0.4 yards per play.
Another FG for the Rams
If there’s any saving grace for the Eagles, the defense is holding the Rams to 0-of-2 in the red zoen and 0-of-3 on third down. That’s why the Rams are only up 9 despite outgaining them 192-27.
Rams 16, Eagles 7
The Eagles are bad when Lane Johnson is out
The Eagles are 0-for-5 on 3rd down. Since Lane Johnson has been out, they have run 9 plays for -9 yards.
3 straight 3-and-outs. At least they had 4 net yards on the last possession.
Another drive for the Rams that leads to points, but Eagles hold them to FG
Rams have a methodical 12 play drive that goes for 48 yards, but a holding penalty by Coleman Shelton takes back a Kyren Williams touchdown. Matthew Stafford almost throws an INT to Cooper DeJean, but the pass is to high for the Eagles CB/
LA gets a FG out of the drive. Somehow the Eagles are only down 6.
Rams 13, Eagles 7
Rams get their 2nd sack on Jalen Hurts
The Eagles have run six plays without Lane Johnson. Saquon Barkley missed a blitz pickup here and it leads toa 10 yard loss.
Eagles have -13 yards of offense on six plays without Johnson.
There is the Matthew Stafford we’re used to seeing
After starting 3-of-7 on the first two drives, Stafford gets cooking. He fires a 44-yard TD to Davante Adams to cap off a 3-play give to give the Rams the lead. Not sure the Eagles wanted a safety on Adams, but that’s credit to Sean McVay. 1-of-2 for 44 yards and a TD on that drive for No. 9 — who is still elite at 37.
Rams 10, Eagles 7
On the Eagles first drive without Lane Johnson:
3 plays, -5 yards
Hurts incomplete pass
Sack
Barkley 3-yard run
Punt
Lane Johnson QUESTIONABLE to return
Matt Pryor in at RT for Lane Johnson. Johnson is questionable to return with a neck injury, the Eagles announced.
Slow start for Matthew Stafford
Matthew Stafford through 2 drives: 3-of-7, 23 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 11.9 rating.
He’s been a little off target with his throws in the early going. Had a poor throw on the interception to Zack Baun, who already has two passes defensed early in this one.
Eagles 7, Rams 3
False start on the ‘tush push’?
Per the FOX broadcast, NFL rules analyst Mike Pereira said the Eagles had false starts on both “tush push” attempts. That’s going to be the a common thread every week.
The Eagles score a TD via the ‘tush push’
59th career rushing TD for Jalen Hurts. Eagles are 2-for-2 on the “tush push” on the opening drive. No false starts on either play. No game won in March.
The Eagles are 8-of-10 on the “tush push” when needing a first down of TD this seaosn. 10-of-10 for positive yardage.
Eagles 7, Rams 0
Eagles get another first down with the ‘tush push’
The Eagles just got a first down on 4th-and-1 from the 3-yard line with the “tush push.” No false start on the play.
No movement up from on the line — nothing. They are about to score with the “tush push” again.
Eagles takeaway to start the game
First INT of the year for Zack Baun. After two plays of getting Nolan Smith getting in the backfield, Vic Fangio dropped him back in coverage. Might have confused Matthew Stafford.
Wholesome moment for Jared Verse — who can talk trash with the best of them

Nick Hampton ate a bad Philly cheesesteak last night, that’s why he’s out: Rams second-string LB
Incredible story. Wonder where he went to get that cheesesteak? If it was one of the tourist spots, Hampton might have a point.
