Rams Let 26–7 Lead Slip as Two Blocked Field Goals Fuel Eagles’ 33–26 Rally

Postgame grades identify interior-line failures, with special-teams protection the decisive flaw.

Overview

  • Philadelphia sealed the comeback with a blocked field goal returned for a touchdown by Jordan Davis as time expired after another fourth-quarter block earlier in the period.
  • PFF evaluations highlighted severe issues inside for Los Angeles, including 0.0 pass-blocking grades in limited snaps for backups Beaux Limmer and Justin Dedich and a poor mark for center Coleman Shelton.
  • Right guard Kevin Dotson exited for eight snaps due to a leg issue before returning, forcing short-notice changes that coincided with protection breakdowns.
  • Puka Nacua led the Rams’ offense with 11 receptions for 112 yards, while Kyren Williams and Blake Corum were efficient on the ground.
  • Defensively, Quentin Lake, Poona Ford, and Jared Verse earned top grades, but Rams cornerbacks struggled in the second half as the Eagles repeatedly won outside matchups and Matthew Stafford labored under pressure with an early interception.
