One week after receiving a major wake-up call on the road during a loss to the Chicago Bears, a meeting at home against the struggling Philadelphia Eagles seemed like a dream matchup for the Los Angeles Rams.
Between Carson Wentz being ruled out with a back injury along with the Eagles dealing with all sorts of injuries on both sides of the football, there’s a reason why the Rams entered the game as such heavy favorites over the defending champions.
Turns out, Philadelphia actually looked like the defending champions for a change, and played some of their best football when it mattered the most to pull off the 30-23 win over Los Angeles.
