'Happy for his big ass': Jordan Davis' blocked FG seals Eagles' win, plus more takeaways from shocker vs. Rams

Jordan Davis blocks the FG. The Eagles win

A huge Fg block for Carter to keep the score at 26-21, followed by a taunting penalty. Carter has 5 unnecessary roughness penalties (or their variants) since entering the league. Eagles just don't let up. 

After getting a stop on 4th-and-1, the Eagles decide to go for it on 4th-and-7 from the 50. Jalen Hurts almost throws an INT intended for A.J. Brown, but it was interesting why the Eagles didn't punt in a 26-21 game with just under 10 minutes to go.

Rams get ball at 50 and are driving. 

Jalen Hurts was 3-of-3 for 87 yards and a TD in the 3rd quarter on throws of 10+ air yards (158.3 rating). 

The Eagles have scored TDs in each of their last 2 possessions. Jalen hurts has found a soft zone in the middle of teh field and is taking full advantage of what the Rams are giving him. 

Jalen Hurts in 3rd quarter -- 10-of-12, 131 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT, 151.7 rating

Rams 26, Eagles 21

All it took was a Hurts pass to A.J. brown to get the offense going. brown catches and 8-yard pass and the floodgates open. Hurts finds Browns for 38 yards on the next play, then Dallas Goedert for a 33-yard TD.

Hurts was 3-of-3 for 69 yards and a TD on that drive. Now can the Eagles stop the Rams? 

Rams 26, Eagles 14

Rams 26, Eagles 7

Jalen Hurts was sacked on the 2nd offensive play to open the 2nd half. Just Hurts' 5th giveaway in his last 17 games. 

Matt Pryor just didn't block Jared Verse. The Eagles offense has run 14 plays since Lane Johnson has been out. They have -3 yards (not counting kneeldowns). 

 Punt, Punt, Punt, Punt, Turnover

Rams score a TD on first play off turnover. Stafford to Kyren Williams for the score. 

2-of-5, 1 yard, 0.2 YPA, 47.9 rating (sacked twice) 1 carry, -1 yard

These are actual numbers. This is the worst Hurts has played with the Eagles. He missed a wide open throw to Jahan Dotson, has no progressions in his throws, and no trust in any of his reads. And A.J. Brown still doesn't have a catch.

This is bad. 

The fans are booing the Eagles after running the ball on 3rd-and-16 on their own 8. 

 The Eagles have -1 pass yard. 

 A.J. Brown has 1 target. He has 0 catches. 

 Since Lane Johnson has been out: 12 plays, -3 yards -- -0.4 yards per play.

If there's any saving grace for the Eagles, the defense is holding the Rams to 0-of-2 in the red zoen and 0-of-3 on third down. That's why the Rams are only up 9 despite outgaining them 192-27.

Rams 16, Eagles 7

The Eagles are 0-for-5 on 3rd down. Since Lane Johnson has been out, they have run 9 plays for -9 yards.

3 straight 3-and-outs. At least they had 4 net yards on the last possession. 

Rams have a methodical 12 play drive that goes for 48 yards, but a holding penalty by Coleman Shelton takes back a Kyren Williams touchdown. Matthew Stafford almost throws an INT to Cooper DeJean, but the pass is to high for the Eagles CB/

LA gets a FG out of the drive. Somehow the Eagles are only down 6.

Rams 13, Eagles 7 

The Eagles have run six plays without Lane Johnson. Saquon Barkley missed a blitz pickup here and it leads toa  10 yard loss.

Eagles have -13 yards of offense on six plays without Johnson. 

After starting 3-of-7 on the first two drives, Stafford gets cooking. He fires a 44-yard TD to Davante Adams to cap off a 3-play give to give the Rams the lead. Not sure the Eagles wanted a safety on Adams, but that's credit to Sean McVay. 1-of-2 for 44 yards and a TD on that drive for No. 9 -- who is still elite at 37. 

Rams 10, Eagles 7

3 plays, -5 yards 

Hurts incomplete pass 

Sack 

Barkley 3-yard run 

Punt

Matt Pryor in at RT for Lane Johnson. Johnson is questionable to return with a neck injury, the Eagles announced.

Matthew Stafford through 2 drives: 3-of-7, 23 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 11.9 rating.

He's been a little off target with his throws in the early going. Had a poor throw on the interception to Zack Baun, who already has two passes defensed early in this one. 

Eagles 7, Rams 3

Per the FOX broadcast, NFL rules analyst Mike Pereira said the Eagles had false starts on both "tush push" attempts. That's going to be the a common thread every week.

59th career rushing TD for Jalen Hurts. Eagles are 2-for-2 on the "tush push" on the opening drive. No false starts on either play. No game won in March.

The Eagles are 8-of-10 on the "tush push" when needing a first down of TD this seaosn. 10-of-10 for positive yardage. 

Eagles 7, Rams 0 

The Eagles just got a first down on 4th-and-1 from the 3-yard line with the "tush push." No false start on the play.

No movement up from on the line -- nothing. They are about to score with the "tush push" again. 

First INT of the year for Zack Baun. After two plays of getting Nolan Smith getting in the backfield, Vic Fangio dropped him back in coverage. Might have confused Matthew Stafford.  

The Eagles have called 79% pass plays when they're in shotgun (full shotgun, not including pistol formation). And they've called 90% run plays otherwise -- under center (88%) or pistol (91%).

Incredible story. Wonder where he went to get that cheesesteak? If it was one of the tourist spots, Hampton might have a point. 

Rams LB Nick Hampton (illness) ruled out vs. Eagles after apparent cheesesteak mishap: 'Rather eat dirt'
