Live updates: Rams host Eagles in key game for NFC playoff picture

Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

The Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams meet on ‘Sunday Night Football’ on the road to the NFL playoffs.

The Eagles stand on the top step of the NFC East, which has turned into a two-horse race as the calendar turned to November. While much ado has been made about the addition of Saquon Barkley, it’s been the Eagles defense — featuring standout rookie Quinyon Mitchell — that has hit its stride.

Philly’s D has been stout: Entering Week 12, they rank first in the NFL in yards allowed and sixth in points allowed as a unit. That’s a testament to new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, who has transformed the defense into one of the NFC’s most formidable.

The Rams have undergone a turnaround of their own. After starting 1-4, Los Angeles has flipped their record and has gone 4-1 since their Week 6 bye.

The Rams, though, still have some work to do in the sluggish but competitive NFC West. Entering Week 12 a game behind the surprising Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles is searching for its first division title since 2021. They’re in prime position to make a run, and Sunday night offers an opportunity to keep their recent hot play going.
