The divisional round is set. It will be Eagles vs Rams, In Philly, at 3 pm on Sunday. The Rams, even while displaced from their usual home field, sent the Vikings packing fairly easily, to set up a rematch from the Week 12 Clash back in November.
That 1st matchup was all Eagles. The Eagles won 37-20, and honestly, it was a bigger blowout than that. The Rams scored a completely meaningless TD in the final minute of the game, and before that drive, they held the Rams to just about 230 yards and 13 points. After the Rams racked up 123 yards on their first two drives of the game, the Rams managed just 118 yards on their next 7.
The Eagles’ offense meanwhile had their way. They didn’t even have their usual slow start. Saquon Barkley tore the Rams apart, with 255 yards and 2 TDs. He had 9.8 yards per carry. The Eagles had no DeVonta Smith, but AJ brown still racked up 109 yards and a TD.
So will this week be a repeat? Do they just have the Ram’s number? Yesterday we looked at the offenses, now let’s look at the defenses.
Both of these teams sport a young defense that has at times carried them. The Eagles have two rookie corners, Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, and a young D Line led by guys like Jalen Carter (2nd Year), Nolan Smith (2nd Year), and Jordan Davis (3rd Year).
Then you have the Rams who have a young D Line who just sacked Sam Darnold 9 times, led by guys like Jared Verse, Brandon Fiske, Kobie Turner, and Byron Young.
But while the Rams’ defense has shown great promise, and has come on very strong, the Eagles’ young defense has been great all season. They are number 1 in yards allowed per game, and number 2 in points allowed per game. But which defense is more talented?
