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.
