The Rams squandered an opportunity to climb the NFC West standings, losing 37-20 as Eagles running back Saquon Barkley amassed 255 total yards on 26 touches.
Rams QB Matthew Stafford, #9, gets sacked by Eagles A.J. Brown, #11, during second quarter action at SoFi Stadium on Sunday, Nov. 24, 2024. INGLEWOOD — It was all set up for the Rams. Their jumbled, indecisive division, was there for the taking. A win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, and the Rams would move into a first-place tie in the NFC West with the Seahawks and Cardinals, the former of which beat the latter earlier in the day.
This allowed the Eagles to possess the ball for 10:57 in the second quarter, and slowly begin to wear out a Rams defense that had played feistily to start the game. But all good feelings evaporated first when Philadelphia went back ahead with an A.J. Brown touchdown with 1:27 left in the second quarter, then again when running back Saquon Barkley popped off a 70-yard touchdown run on the first play of the third quarter.
The team went 0-for-8 on third down and 2-for-4 in the red zone. Puka Nacua was flagged for a push-off penalty on a play that would have converted 3rd-and-9 in the fourth quarter with the Rams trying to make it a one-possession game.
