Philadelphia Eagles Beat Los Angeles Rams 23-14: Live Game Log

The last two NFC champions are meeting at SoFi Stadium on Sunday as the Philadelphia Eagles look to remain undefeated against the Los Angeles Rams.

The last two NFC champions are meeting at SoFi Stadium on Sunday, as the Philadelphia Eagles look to remain undefeated against the Los Angeles Rams.

This will be easier said than done, as the Rams are getting star receiver Cooper Kupp back for the first time this season. He missed the first four games due to a hamstring injury.

The Eagles have left another mark on the league with their signature "tush push" short-yardage play. In fact, Philly is so good at it, that there's been talk the league may ban it. And while it's been copied by several teams - including the Rams - no one has been successful at duplicating it.

The Rams attempted it in Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks.

“We tried it,” McVay said. "It didn’t look very good. That’s why we had to go for it on 4th and 1. We tried it on second down. It looked nothing like Philly’s. We've got some other things maybe we’ll try.”

That's just one of the many things the Rams will need to worry about on Sunday against the Eagles. Philly is 4-0 for the second straight season, but not all is peaches and cream. The Eagles have struggled on defense at times, especially with the No. 27-ranked passing defense.

For the Rams, the offense lies in the hands of quarterback Matthew Stafford and rookie wideout Puka Nacua. The two have combined for 501 yards on 39 catches with one touchdown through four games. But with L.A. getting back Kupp on Sunday, which presents more problems for an ailing Eagles secondary.
