Stay Undefeated? — Eagles @ Rams Preview

The Philadelphia Eagles take on the Los Angeles Rams this Sunday in a matchup where Philly is going to try and elevate to a 5-0 record while the Rams are going to try to give the Birds their first loss.

The Rams will have a weapon that they didn’t think they’d have in Puka Nacua. Nacua has been on an absolute tear, posting up 501 yards through 4 games which is the third most receiving yards in the league. He also had 39 receptions, which is the most in the NFL. Nacua will be a priority for the Eagles secondary to contain.

While Puka Nacua is going to cause problems for the Eagles, there is another receiver in Cooper Kupp who may be an even bigger problem. Kupp is making his season debut against Philadelphia after having a historical season last year. With Cam Akers no longer being on the Rams after being traded, the passing game is going to be crowded with talent and the Eagles are going to struggle to stop that.

A big factor in stopping the pass is by not letting them throw the ball. Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis are going to have to do that as a duo, instead of a trio with Fletcher Cox ruled out with a back injury. Not only is Cox out, but his backup Marlon Tuipulotu is also out with a tricep injury. Carter and Davis are going to have a lot on their hands in this game and hopefully, they can stop Matthew Stafford from making any big plays.

You can watch this game at 4:05 EST/1:05 PST on FOX. The Philly Sports Reports Twitter/X page will provide updates and reactions throughout the game.
