The Philadelphia Eagles and the Los Angeles Rams met in Week 3 of the NFL season on Sunday. The two teams battled hard during last season's NFC divisional round, and expectations were that it would be a close contest yet again.

However, the game did not resemble last season's by any means. The Rams dominated on defense early, but the Eagles mounted a comeback late on.
Matthew Stafford missed a few throws in the first half, but he was still able to lead Los Angeles to a two-possession lead. However, things changed in the second half. The Eagles scored 26 unanswered points to complete a masterful comeback and win 33-26.

About the author
Henrique Bulio
Henrique Bulio is an NFL and College Football journalist at Sportskeeda and the Editor-in-Chief of Pro Football Brasil. He has a total 13 years of experience working in American Football, and playing quarterback at an amateur level in Brazil has given him a unique perspective of the game.
Henrique follows the Philadelphia Eagles closely due to Michael Vick's historic performance on MNF against the Washington Commanders in 2010. His all-time favorite player is Ed Reed; he believes that Reed is the greatest safety to ever play the game. Bill Belichick gets the nod as Henrique's favorite coach for coaching the Patriots to glory over two decades.
If Henrique were to be able to go back in time and watch one game, it would be Super Bowl XLIX, where the Patriots and the Seahawks played a complete, back-and-forth game that concluded with one of the biggest talking points in NFL history.
Technical deep dives are Henrique’s specialty, and he ensures never to use misleading words in his articles, since he himself consumes a lot of information off the web. He has had the privilege of interviewing Cairo Santos, Lamar Jackson, Jim Harbaugh, Sean McDermott, Bruce Arians, Matt LaFleur, among others.
Aside from football, Henrique likes to play poker and Counter-Strike.
