Pederson versus McVay. 1. player. 54. . .

Eagles head coach Doug Pederson and the Ram’s frontman, Sean Mcvay, won’t commit any penalties. They won’t stick their heads in on any tackles.

They won’t record a sack, nor will they take any, but with two teams that are both talented and limited at the exact same time, the man that does his job the best will probably lead his team to victory.
