Eagles vs. Rams: 9 winners, 9 losers, and 4 IDKs - Bleeding Green Nation
The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a second consecutive loss after falling to the Los Angeles Rams. Despite poor offensive performance and injuries, the team remained competitive until the final minutes of the game.
Why it matters
The loss raises concerns about the Eagles' trajectory and roster depth as they navigate a challenging NFL season.
The Philadelphia Eagles didn’t really deserve to beat the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday afternoon.
The Birds were outgained by 243 yards. That’s typically not a recipe for success.
Neither is failing to convert a single third down despite having 12 chances to do so.
Despite these struggles … and despite entering this game with a lot of key absences and only suffering more injuries during the day … the Eagles almost managed to steal this game.
Almost.
They were two yards away from going up 17 points with about 7.5 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. If they score a touchdown in that spot, the conversation is a lot different than it is right now.
But that’s not our current reality. The Eagles lost their second game in a row and one can only wonder if there are more losses on the way.
