I mean we do have a really bad record in last 10 years vs them. 1-9. Stafford has not beat them as a Ram. Last time we beat them, Goff was our QB and BigRig Higs had a 3TD game!

It will be interesting to see if the Ford and Landman adds have any impact.
Mcvay mentioned our number of missed tackles is something they really track and we are doing well in that metric.
Barkley is a whole different animal to tackle and the Oline can dominate.
If we can stop those big runs where Saquan gets out in the open we will be right in it.
BTW - On the rewatch of the Titans game, its clear Verse got solid pressure at times, especially later in the game.

Game preview by Tommy Lawler for Iggles Blitz
https://igglesblitz.com/2025/09/game-preview-lar-at-phi/
The Rams and Eagles have developed into a bit of a rivalry. There were a couple of really good games back in the Doug Pederson years. Now you have the Sean McVay-Vic Fangio angle. You have the McVay-Nick Sirianni angle. Both organizations have been to multiple Super Bowls and won at least one in recent years. Howie Roseman and Les Snead are two of the most aggressive, creative GMs in the league. The Eagles have beaten the Rams the last three meetings, which stretch over the past two seasons.
Some media and fans are looking at this as a statement game for LA. They need to show they can beat the Eagles and truly be considered a SB contender. The Rams got hot down the stretch, but still only finished 10-7. They finished 17th in DVOA rankings, which is middle of the pack. The Rams had a solid offseason and look more talented than last year. They have a lot of potential. A win on Sunday would show this team is ready to take the next step.
Neither the Eagles nor the Rams has looked great so far. LA had to work hard for a 14-9 win over the Texans in the opener. Last week they trailed the Titans 16-13 late in the third quarter before going on a 20-0 run as Tennessee melted down. The final was 33-19. I was surprised to find out LA trailed at halftime in both games. You already know about the Eagles being 2-0 and having to battle for both wins.
Sunday’s meeting is a chance for both teams to show how good they are. It will be interesting to see if both remain sloppy or if one team puts it together and plays at a high level.
We all know the Rams offense by now. Tons of motion. Lots of screens. Matt Stafford isn’t afraid to throw short passes over and over to move the chains or to sit in the pocket and work intermediate routes as he looks for chunk plays. Stafford still has a great arm and can make spectacular throws. It feels like his receivers are always open because of his ability to put the ball wherever he wants it.
Puka Nacua is the workhorse and now has Davante Adams with him. Neither player is a burner, but both are incredibly good route runners who know how to get open. They have good hands. Both will work the middle and take some shots. The Eagles secondary has their work cut out for them.
I was not impressed with the Rams OL in pass protection against the Titans. RT Rob Havenstein got driven back to the QB multiple times. Titans DT Jeffery Simmons was disruptive against multiple blockers. LG Steve Avila is banged up and doubtful to play on Sunday

That chart has the Rams ranked 31st in pass pro. Part of that is Stafford being willing to hold the ball, but most is a leaky OL. The Eagles DL needs to come up big. Sacks are great, but the key is speeding up Stafford so he can’t sit back and pick the secondary apart. Make him get the ball out quickly. The Eagles do a great job of tackling so they should limit RAC yards. LA is at their best when they are piling up yards after the catch.
A lot of defenders struggle with the Rams motion, fakes and crossing routes. The Eagles faced them twice last year so that will help the returning players. Adoree Jackson, Drew Mukuba, Sydney Brown and Jihad Campbell need to listen to their coaches and teammates on how to deal with that offense. Don’t focus on the eye candy. Trust your technique and do your job.
I am curious to see if LA tries to mix in some tempo after seeing Jalen Carter wear down a bit and knowing Jordan Davis can wear down as well. That could be something to watch.
The Eagles ran on the Rams defense last year (314 yards and 285 yards). I thought the Rams DL looked vulnerable to the run last week. The Titans ran for 109 yards and their OL got good push for much of the game. The Rams front is really good at rushing the passer. They drop off quite a bit when it comes to playing the run. You don’t want to fall behind them and let their rushers tee off. Edge rusher Byron Young already has 3 sacks.
LA’s corners do a good job of driving on the ball. Receivers need to be ready for contact. Emmanuel Forbes was awful when he played for WAS, but looks much more confident and aggressive with his new team. AJ and DeVonta have a talent advantage, but the Eagles need the right plan and execution to make something of that.
With the Rams struggles on run defense this is probably a game where you want to feed Saquon Barkley first and then work on the passing game. Barkley has yet to break loose with a big run or a big game this year. That could change on Sunday.
Jalen Hurts has been safe and efficient to start the season. He’s got one big play in each game. I think the Eagles will need more than that to beat the Rams. If the blockers give Hurts time, he’s got to get the ball to his receivers down the field.
There is one thing that stood out about LA on STs. Their kicker is really good on kickoffs. He hits these knuckleballs that are tough to field. The Titans had issues with multiple KOs. The Eagles need to be ready for them.
The Eagles are the more talented team. I do think the Rams have closed the gap on them and this isn’t a game where the Eagles can play sloppy and win. If the DL plays to their potential, the Eagles will win.
