The Philadelphia Eagles continued their winning streak with a 37-20 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. The win, reminiscent of last season's triumph at the same venue, extends the Eagles' streak to seven games and solidifies their lead in the NFC East.
The game featured standout performances from several key players. Saquon Barkley was particularly impressive, setting a franchise record with 255 rushing yards and scoring two long touchdowns. "Barkley had touchdown runs of 70 and 72 yards," highlighting his contribution to the Eagles' total of 314 rushing yards.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts also played a crucial role, completing 15 of 22 passes for 179 yards and a touchdown. His performance helped maintain the team's momentum without any turnovers. "He ran when he had a chance, gaining 39 yards on 12 attempts," showcasing his dual-threat capability.
Defensively, Isaiah Rodgers made an impact early by forcing a fumble that set up the Eagles' first score. Head Coach Nick Sirianni successfully challenged the initial ruling on this play. "Sirianni made sure to let the refs know it was there before the snap of the ball for the next play."
Brandon Graham delivered a strong performance with multiple quarterback hits before suffering an injury. "Graham told reporters in the locker room after the game that he suffered a torn triceps muscle." Coach Sirianni expressed hope regarding Graham's recovery: "We'll see where he is at."
The Eagles' defense effectively contained Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, limiting him to just 186 passing yards and sacking him five times. The Rams struggled on third downs, failing to convert any of their eight attempts.
Rookie cornerbacks Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean faced tough challenges but performed admirably against Los Angeles' receivers. Meanwhile, kicker Jake Elliott contributed three field goals and four extra points to secure the win.
As they look ahead, Philadelphia will aim to continue their successful run as they hold a commanding position in their division.
