The Philadelphia Eagles led the Los Angeles Rams until the final minute but ultimately lost 24-20 on October 4. A major factor was their inability to convert any of their 12 third-down attempts, marking a historically poor performance. Despite scoring 10 points off two Matthew Stafford interceptions, the Eagles were outgained 415-172 and faced significant personnel losses, including RB Saquon Barkley due to injury. The Eagles now prepare to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in London in Week 5.
