Eagles’ best number: 2 (Takeaways by Eagles defense/special teams)

Eagles’ worst number: 2 (Jake Elliott missed PATs)

View from my living room:

Needed a rest today after a visit with the four grandsons on Saturday.  Poppy became the “horsey” for Graham (6) and Nixon (3) before playing basketball with Hampton (8). In-between was a wrestling match on the living-room floor with the three of them while Whit (6 months) watched.

Three stars

  1. Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (26 carries for 205 yards and 2 TDs).
  2. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (26-for-44 for 324 yards and 2 TDs).
  3. Rams linebacker Jared Verse (2 sacks, 3 tackles for loss).

Eagles’ best play

Running back Saquon Barkley scored what proved to be the winning touchdown when he dashed through the snow for a 78-yard score in the fourth quarter.

Eagles’ worst play

Rams defensive tackle Neville Gallimore burst into the Eagles’ backfield and tackled Hurts for a safety in the third quarter.

Turning point

The Rams were driving toward a potential game-winning TD in the final minute when Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter sacked Stafford for a 9-yard loss on a third-and-2 play from the Eagles’ 13-yard line with 31 seconds left. Stafford’s fourth-down pass fell incomplete, giving the Eagles the win.
