Rams change third-down defense strategy against Eagles in Week 4 win

The Los Angeles Rams altered their approach to defending third downs during their Week 4 game against the Philadelphia Eagles, achieving a 24-20 comeback victory. The Rams, usually blitzing on a third of third downs, employed an 89% blitz rate on the Eagles' attempts, resulting in Philadelphia failing to convert any of their 12 third downs. This strategy contributed to the Eagles' struggles, as they gained just 172 total yards and managed only three yards per play. Kyren Williams scored the winning touchdown with 1:10 remaining in the match, solidifying the Rams' success with their defensive adjustments.
