How are you feeling after Sunday’s shocking outcome? On the one hand, the Los Angeles Rams showed up to play the Philadelphia Eagles, and when they were leading 26-7, they looked like maybe the best team in the NFC, on the other hand, the Rams imploded after looking superb for the better part of two quarters.
So, after seeing how good the Rams can be, and how bad they can be as well, are you encouraged or discouraged? Do you expect the Rams to bounce back, or is this the start of what could be a tough stretch?
Do we expect the Rams to be able to close games out, or is L.A.’s collaspe more reflective of what the team actually is?
It’s all fair questions, and I suppose we’re just going to have to wait and see how the team does in Week 4, but in the meantime, comment, speculate and if you can, enjoy your Monday and thanks for checking out Turf Show Times.
“Eagles awaken, erupt for comeback win. Perhaps all the Eagles’ offense needs is a couple of explosive pass plays to unlock their operation. After a frustrating first-half showing prompted home fans to rain boos on Nick Sirianni’s squad, Philadelphia took the field in the third quarter with renewed energy and increased schematic aggression that quickly advanced the offense from a crawl to a sprint. The key: Two long passes to A.J. Brown and Dallas Goedert for a quick-strike score, a crucial sequence that followed a disastrous turnover and prompted Jalen Hurts to explode with a rare display of passionate (if not angry) celebration. This lightning-fast scoring drive injected hope and belief into the Eagles offense, which mounted three total touchdown drives in the second half, including one compiled after blocking a field goal to preserve their chances of victory. Hurts came through repeatedly in key situations, including his final touchdown pass to DeVonta Smith on fourth-and-goal, quelling complaints of a stagnant offense that reminded many of the same problems the Eagles overcame on their way to a Super Bowl triumph last season.“
“Davis lept up and blocked the kick, securing the win for the Eagles. He scooped it up and ran it into the end zone without much challenge from the Rams’ tacklers. He crossed the goal line with the ball and a caravan of teammates to finish off the win in style.
The Eagles beat the Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs by three points each to win the season. Their seven-point win does not tell the entire story of the game, but still represents their biggest margin of victory this year. Jalen Hurts tossed three touchdowns in the second half to come from behind and snag the victory.“
