The Eagles visit the Rams on Sunday and get to face Matthew Stafford and see the return of Cooper Kupp. Of course, the Eagles have pretty good receivers, too.
Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown falls down after catching a late fourth-quarter touchdown past Washington Commanders cornerback Emmanuel Forbes on Sunday, October 1, 2023 in Philadelphia.visit the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Here are the game predictions from the Eagles beat writers for Week 5.
At 2-2, Los Angeles has overachieved mostly thanks to a resurgent offense led by Stafford and the out-of-nowhere slot receiver Nacua, which makes things more intriguing and harder to prognosticate. The Rams don’t have the talent, both up front offensively and on defense outside of Donald, to beat this Eagles team at their best. But will they be at their best?
The Eagles should be able to get pressure on Stafford. Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson missed most of the week of practice with a hamstring injury but is expected to play. If he’s playing at less than 100%,or Josh Sweat could capitalize. Stafford has averaged 2.72 seconds time to throw according to Next Gen Stats, which suggests there will be opportunities.
Will Eagles defensive coordinator Sean Desai stick with Bradberry in the slot, or will he look to Mario Goodrich or the recently-acquired Roby based on the matchup? The Rams have some injury question marks on an offensive line that haven’t been sound in protecting Stafford. The left tackle Jackson is expected to play while the right guard Joe Noteboom isn’t. Neither has been reliable this season, which could say something about the Rams’ lack of depth on the O-line.
