The defense won the majority of the big moments against one of the NFL’s best offensive play-callers. It’s a good thing the Eagles have one of the league's best defensive play-callers to match.

Fangio’s success against Rams coach Sean McVay in the 2018-19 season has become part of NFL lore. Former Patriots coach Bill Belichick borrowed from Fangio’s Chicago Bears and won ain part because of it, but even Fangio acknowledged just how much time has passed since and how much has changed since he authored that game plan as head coach of the Bears.Things may change, but the result stayed more or less the same on Sunday night. The Rams moved the ball at will on their opening two drives.
Watching those plays back, it’s fair to note some of the failed third-down attempts led to manageable fourth downs and that a pass interference call against Isaiah Rodgers moved the chains on one. Outside of that, big-time plays from players like DeJean, Adrian Peterson was the last running back to win MVP, breaking a five-year drought for the position. Let’s see how his award-winning 2012 season compares to Barkley’s per game averages so far, with LaDanian Tomlinson and Shaun Alexander’s MVP years and Derrick Henry’s best season without an MVP added in as well:Barkley’s yards, both rushing and receiving, should put him on track to make a strong comparison with Peterson.
