Eagles work to fix defense before Rams' visit this Sunday
Summary

The Eagles have six days to address defensive issues after losing 27-7 to the Bears on Monday night. They will face Matthew Stafford and the Rams, who lead the NFL in offense with 417.7 yards per game. Despite Los Angeles' 1-2 record, they pose a significant challenge with a robust passing attack. The Rams hope to have Puka Nacua back, who has missed two games due to injury. The matchup will test the Eagles' ability to improve quickly against a familiar opponent, as they have previously dominated in their meetings.
