Eagles vs. Rams Postgame Show, Divisional Round Game
The NFC Divisional Round game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams here in the 2024-2025 season is now in the books! The Eagles defeated the Rams by a score of 28-22 down at The Linc. The Eagles now look to the NFC Championship Game where they will face the Washington Commanders in Philly. It’s going to be an incredible game.
Jalen Hurts certainly didn’t play his best football of the year, but it was enough to help the Eagles win, especially with his 44-yard touchdown run in the first quarter that helped set the tone for the offense. While the wide receivers disappointed in this game, Saquon Barkley did not. He ran for 205 yards on the ground (plus 27 yards catching the ball) on 16 carries, and two touchdowns.
Vic Fangio’s defense played well and placed pressure on Matt Stafford in the game when it truly counted. While the snow elements provided some challenges, the pass rush, rushing defense, and secondary played a complete game. One of our themes, however, was the many plays left on the field by the defense.
As always, we gave our top themes, thoughts and opinions from the game on offense, defense, and special teams, and then graded each unit on both sides of the ball, as well as the coaching staff.
It was great to have our friend of the pod Matt Rogers from The Honorable Mention Podcast join us this week for our analysis.
