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.
