Rams defense excels as Los Angeles edges Eagles late in Philadelphia
Summary

The Los Angeles Rams overcame a sluggish start to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles 24-20 on October 5. Despite a lackluster performance for the first 53 minutes, the Rams rallied late, largely due to a dominating defensive effort. The Rams blitzed over 60 percent of the time, pressuring Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts effectively and not allowing a single third down conversion. Key contributions from players like Byron Young and Nate Landman helped keep the game within reach, setting the stage for the offensive comeback. The Rams will look to build on this momentum in their next matchup.
