PHILADELPHIA, PA– Leading by 19 points, it seemed as if the Los Angeles Rams would seek a slice of redemption by going into Lincoln Financial Field and knocking off the Philadelphia Eagles. Unfortunately,  the Eagles and Jalen Hurts had a huge comeback as the Philadelphia Eagles rallied for a  33-26 victory.

It was dreadful watching the Rams implode with another devastating loss. Where to begin? Rams kicker Joshua Karty was lined up for a 44-yard field goal attempt to win the game with three seconds remaining in the game and the team down one point.

Instead of giving Los Angeles the win, Karty’s attempt was blocked and the bouncing ball was picked up by Eagles defensive lineman Jordan Davis. He returned it for a touchdown as time expired.

NFL’s Next Gen Stats noted that Davis reached a top speed of 18.59 mph on his way to the score. It was the fastest speed by an NFL player over 330 pounds since 2017. Davis is listed at 336 pounds.

Across the NFL in Week 3, blocked field goals were everywhere. In fact, the Eagles blocked two field goals in the final frame.

The Rams were up 26-7 early in the third quarter when Matthew Stafford found running back Kyren Williams for a 10-yard score. It appeared nothing was going to stop Los Angeles in the game. But it was Hurts who responded with authority.

Hurts started hurling the pigskin, chipping away at the lead with three TD passes. Setting up one final drive pinned inside the 10-yard line.

With just minutes left in the game, the Eagles needed a touchdown for the win. A 17 play drive marching 91 yards down the field. Culminating in a 4 yard TD pass to DeVonta Smith on fourth down.

It was a sickening sight to behold. This might sound like sour  grapes, but this, ‘Tush Push’ debacle has run its course.

The ‘Tush Push’ is ostensibly a quarterback sneak. Not only does it diminish the beautiful game of football, it becomes a messy rugby scrum. Even worse, video evidence showed nearly half of the Eagles offensive line moved prior to the snap.

Rather than be called for false start, Hurts always finds a way to get into the end zone. Yet, the Rams only have themselves to blame.

Stafford was 19-for-33 with 196 passing yards, two touchdown passes and an interception. His other touchdown pass went to Davante Adams.

Puka Nacua led the Rams with 11 catches for 112 yards. The painful loss leaves the Rams at 2-1, while the Eagles remain flawless at 3-0.

The Rams went just 1 for 4 on converting their red zone trips into touchdowns, and their reliance on field goals ended up being their demise in what ended up being a one-score loss.

Los Angeles’ defense held Philadelphia to just 33 total net yards of offense in the first half, including -1 passing yards. Neither team had a third-down conversion until midway through the third quarter.

The second half was a different story for the Eagles, who had 255 total yards across the third and fourth quarter. The Eagles outscored the Rams 26-7 in the second half.

Next Sunday, the Rams host Daniel Jones, and the surprising 3-0 Indianapolis Colts at SoFi Stadium.

The Rams snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
