And, just like that, another work week ends for much of our great nation's workforce. Our jobs, however, are just beginning. We look ahead to a great day of college football on Saturday before our Philadelphia Eagles wrap a great slate of NFL games on Sunday Night Football.
Philly is a road favorite in this one. They face an offensive genius (Sean McVay), a Super Bowl-winning quarterback (Matthew Stafford), and an improving L.A. Rams team.
Philly leads the all-time series by a 23-20-1 margin, but they're only 2-6 vs. Matt Stafford. On the offensive side of the ball, several O-linemen have all appeared on L.A.'s injury report at some point during the week.
Place Kevin Dotson (Illness), Rob Havenstein (ankle), Joe Noteboom (ankle), and Leveston's (ankle) names on that list, but trust us on this. The Rams have plenty of offensive talent
Here are a half-dozen of Matt Stafford's Rams teammates who can certainly give the Eagles defense fits.
L.A. got off to a slow start, thanks in part to injuries, but after beginning their march by losing four of five, they have righted the ship to win four of the last five.
They have averaged 23.8 points over the past five games. Mike LaFleur is in his second season with the Rams as the offensive coordinator. Here are six guys to watch vs. the Eagles top-ranked defense. All are capable of highlight-reel moments.
Kyren Williams - running back
Kyren Williams is the Rams' leading rusher turning in 750 yards rushing and eight TDs on 191 carries. He has also registered 136 yards and two more TDs on 25 receptions.
Cooper Kupp, Demarcus Robinson, and Puka Nacua - wide receivers
We may be biased, but we believe A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith combine as the NFL's top wide receiver duo. The Rams aren't hurting for talent either.
Cooper Kupp, Demarcus Robinson, and Puka Nacua have combined for 99 receptions, 1,230 receiving yards, and ten touchdowns despite Kupp and Nacua missing four and five games respectively.
Alaric Jackson - left tackle
Alaric Jackson will find himself lined up across from Josh Sweat often during this one. He is responsible for protecting Matthew Stafford's blind side as the Rams' offensive left tackle.
Colby Parkinson - tight end
Philly has kept their eyes on the opposing teams' tight ends all season. Colby Parkinson is certainly one worth eyeing.
He has hauled in 24 receptions for 233 yards. He has also scored a receiving TD.
