Defensively, the only touchdown the Rams have allowed this season was the hero-ball scramble-drill that Cam Ward put on them last Sunday. Every other defense in the league has surrendered at least two touchdowns through two weeks.
The Eagles have won 18 of their last 19 games (since a Week 5 bye last season). Their only loss in that span came in Washington late last season when Hurts left early with a concussion. The Rams’ starters have won nine of their last 11 games – suffering their only defeats head-to-head against the Eagles.
Philadelphia outrushed LA 599-203 in 2024, a staggering yardage differential of 396.
Hurts has not thrown an interception since Week 10, 2024 at Dallas, a stretch of 185 straight attempts without a pick. To be fair, he’s simply not throwing much, with fewer than 160 passing yards and no passing touchdowns in both wins thus far in 2025.
Per ESPN, the Eagles are the first team since the 2010 Steelers to start 2-0 without throwing a touchdown (Pittsburgh lost the Super Bowl that season).
You could argue the only reason the Rams had a look at a comeback last January is because of two missed extra points by Jake Elliott. He’s had no such trouble on those chip shots since. Plus, Elliott’s nailed all three attempts from beyond 50 yards, after going just 1-for-7 from that distance a year ago.
The Eagles sacked Stafford five times in each matchup in 2024. Strangely, they’ve mustered just two sacks in 2025, the second-lowest count in the league. You’ll recall that LA sacked Hurts seven times in the divisional round, with Jared Verse authoring a pair of those. The Rams as a team are tied for the second-most sacks in 2025, even though the Defensive Rookie of the Year and his running mate Braden Fiske have been shut out to date.
Is Byron Young the front-runner for NFL Defensive Player of the Year? The longer he can outpace the Bosa family the better.
