Eagles-Rams Week 3 Rematch Pits Philly’s Ground Game Against L.A.’s Top-Graded Air Attack

Philadelphia seeks to extend its recent dominance over Los Angeles.

Overview

  • Sunday’s game at Lincoln Financial Field is a rematch of last season’s regular-season and Divisional Round meetings, both won by the Eagles.
  • Rams CB Ahkello Witherspoon is on IR with a broken clavicle, elevating Emmanuel Forbes into a starting role that sets up a favorable matchup on paper for A.J. Brown.
  • Analytics rate Los Angeles highly on offense, with PFF grading the Rams No. 1 and Puka Nacua posting 18 catches for 221 yards alongside newcomer Davante Adams.
  • The pass-rush split is stark to start 2025, with the Rams tied for second in sacks (eight) and the Eagles at two through two games.
  • Philadelphia’s offense ranks 29th in yards but is 5-for-5 in the red zone and second in time of possession, and it gashed the Rams for 599 rushing yards in two 2024 wins, including Saquon Barkley’s 460 yards and four touchdowns.
