Rams overpowered by Eagles, lose 23-14: Instant analysis of Week 5 loss

The Eagles were too much for the Rams to handle on Sunday as Los Angeles fell at home, 23-14.

As was the case in Week 2 against the 49ers, the Rams did what they could to stay with the Eagles all afternoon on Sunday, but they just didn’t have enough to pull off the upset at home. The Eagles were methodical on seemingly every drive, keeping the ball out of the Rams’ hands and giving them very few possessions.

The ground game was very effective for Philadelphia, too, as the Eagles rushed for over 150 yards by leaning on Jalen Hurts and D’Andre Swift throughout. The result was a 23-14 loss, dropping the Rams to 2-3 on the year with the Cardinals up next.

The Rams’ offense faded badly in the second half, getting shut out by Philadelphia after a productive first half. The halftime adjustments made by the Eagles helped slow down Cooper Kupp in the third and fourth quarters, while also neutralizing any other threats Los Angeles had on offense.

Here’s a recap of how the game went for the Rams on Sunday.
