The Eagles got a great start in the game as Chris Maragos returned Johnny Hekker's blocked punt. The Rams finally got into the game at the beginning of the second corner with a Brian Quick touchdown, who is having a breakout season for the Rams. The half ended 20-7. The Rams on their opening drive in the second half had an Austin Davis fumble that ended with an eagles touchdown due to some really bad play by Jake Long. The Rams went down 34-7 until a touchdown by Benny Cunningham in the last few seconds of the third quarter helped the Rams comeback. But in the end, the Eagles defense held on to get Philly the win.
Eagles Pros - Nick Foles' "luck". Now don't get confused, Nick Foles made his luck happen by staying poised, confident, and quick with his feet. This allowed some of his throws that should not have been, been.
Eagles Cons - The teams ability to play it slow. In the 4th quarter the Rams scored to bring the game within two scores. However, Chip Kelly's fast paced offense could adjust to going slow and running out the clock giving the Rams an opportunity to take the game.
Rams Pros - The Austin Davis and Brian Quick dynamic has really been tremendous. Quick had two touchdowns this game.
Rams Cons - The offensive line was horrendous. The opening drive fumble in the second quarter by Austin Davis wasn't his fault as much as it was poor execution by Jake Long, that even led to a defensive touchdown the same play. Also, Austin Pettis blew two catches in the Rams last drive.
Player of the Game: Chris Maragos
