Rams vs. Eagles score, live updates: Philadelphia, Los Angeles face off in snowy divisional round playoff battle

The Rams are looking to knock off another NFC heavyweight

yahoo sports staff

The Los Angeles Rams were one of the surprises of wild-card weekend, comfortably beating the 14-win Minnesota Vikings in Arizona, after the game had to be moved due to the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles. The victory earned the Rams a cross-country trip to take on the Philadelphia Eagles, fresh off their wild-card win over the Packers.

The Rams and Eagles faced off earlier this year, in a game the Los Angeles defense would surely like to forget. On Sunday Night Football back in Week 12, Saquon Barkley turned in one of the greatest individual rushing performances in NFL history, torching the Rams for an Eagles-record 255 yards and two touchdowns in a 37-20 Philadelphia win. That was the ninth-best total in a game in league history, and wasn't a blip on the radar for the Eagles' offense, which finished second in the NFL in rushing yards.

Temperatures are expected to be around 30 degrees with rain and snow in the forecast for Sunday afternoon in Philadelphia.

    Kyren Williams can't get his arms around a handoff from Matthew Stafford and drops the ball. Williams recovers the fumble, but the Rams lose one yard on the play.

    Cooper Kupp's second catch of the game is a big one, going for a 32-yard gain.

    Despite the snow easing up at the beginning of the second half, neither team could get a first down on their opening drives. The Eagles go 3-and-out after a 7-yard pass to Devonta Smith is followed by Saquon Barkley rushing for no yards and an incomplete pass by Jalen Hurts.

    The Rams take over at their 26-yard line after a 53-yard punt from Braden Mann and a 3-yard return by Xavier Smith.

  • Ian Casselberry

    The Rams go 3-and-out on their first possession of the second half with two Matthew Stafford passes covering five yards sandwiching a 2-yard rush from Kyren Williams.

    Philadelphia takes over at its 15-yard line after a 53 punt from Ethan Evans and 5-yard return by Cooper DeJean.

    The Rams are on offense to begin the second half. They'll begin at their 30-yard line after a touchback kickoff from Jake Elliott.

  • Liz Roscher

    And on the play immediately after the sack on Hurts, Verse sacks Hurts yet again! Hurts stayed down a little longer this time, but the game is headed into halftime and the Rams get the ball to start the third quarter.

    The Rams defense is showing up, and the Eagles offense is starting to falter after the constant attacks.

    Disaster averted...

    The Rams again sack Jalen Hurts, who drops the ball instead of holding onto it. The Eagles recovered it, but the lost yardage once again took the Eagles out of field goal range. That could have been a major disaster.

    Saquon gets a 1st down, momentarily leaves game, then returns

    Saquon Barkley gave the Eagles a 1st down on 3rd and 14, but he was quickly replaced by RB Kenny Gainwell after the play concluded.

    Turns out the trainers were looking at his hand. Eagles fans everywhere release the breath they'd been collectively holding.

    Jared Verse sacks Jalen Hurts back into last week

    The Eagles offensive line gives Jalen Hurts a lot of time to make decisions in the pocket, but Hurts failed to realize he was in imminent danger on this play and got sacked out of field goal range by none other than Eagles fan hater Jared Verse.

    Three words: SAQUON BARKLEY TOUCHDOWN.

    The Rams made the mistake of giving Saquon Barkley a patch of green grass in front of him, and like a shot he was gone, not stopping until he hit the end zone.

    Jalen Carter literally picked up Matthew Stafford for a sack

    Jalen Carter is who your favorite quarterback has nightmares about, and this is why.

    Quinyon Mitchell may not return with shoulder issue

    Quinyon Mitchell, the guy who nailed Stafford in the ribs during a tackle, is questionable with a shoulder issue.

    Rams ahead 7-6 after TD and extra point

    The Rams owe part of this go-ahead touchdown to Stafford's legs. He rarely scrambles — he did it only three times in the regular season — but with an open field in front of him, he ran the ball to within inches of the first-down line, which allowed the Rams to go for it on 4th and inches and eventually get the touchdown.

  • Liz Roscher

    That's a catch

    Matt Stafford passes to tight end Tyler Higbee which seems to be a clear catch, but is ruled incomplete and has to be challenged by Rams head coach Sean McVay in order to get things righted. The call is overturned and the Rams continue marching down the field.

  • Liz Roscher

    No extra point for Eagles

    Eagles kicker Jake Elliott misses the extra point to keep the score at 6-0. Elliott has been prone to misses at times this season, but the Eagles really need him to get his foot into place for the rest of the game.

    Eagles draw first blood with Jalen Hurts rushing TD

    Jalen Hurts takes it to the house himself, running 44 yards to give the Eagles a 6-0 lead. Kicker Jake Elliott missed the PAT.

    Eagles fans are ready to boo Jared Verse

    Rams DL Jared Verse hates Eagles fans, which we found out on Thursday when Verse told the LA Times "I hate Eagles fans. They're so annoying. I hate Eagles fans."

    On Sunday morning, in one of the parking lots surrounding Lincoln Financial Field, a billboard appeared with that quote on it. Just to make sure all of the fans attending the game were aware that one player on the Rams hated them specifically.

    Verse isn't afraid, though. He was ready for the boos when he walked onto the field before the game.
