Sunday Night Football Preview

Ever since their Week 5 bye week, the Eagles look to have the best defense in football under defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.

Philadelphia has yet to lose a game since coming off the bye and is riding a six-game winning streak entering Week 12. In that span, the Eagles have allowed more than 20 points just once: a 28 -23 over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9.

They haven’t only faced bad opponents either. The six-game winning streak includes wins over the Bengals (27 ppg, sixth-best scoring offense) and Commanders (28 ppg, fourth-best).

Philadelphia has also limited opponents’ yardage recently to the point where the team has risen to the top of the leaderboard in offensive yards allowed: just 273.1 per possession. match. The Eagles are also second in yards allowed (173.2 per game) this season and lead all NFL defenses in EPA allowed per game. games over the last six weeks (-0.235).

These grades bode well when it comes to facing their Week 12 opponent.

The Rams have been able to right the ship in their 2024 season thanks to the return of two big weapons in the passing game.

Los Angeles is now 5-5 after a 1-4 start to the season and 2-1 in the three games since wide receivers Puka Nacua and Cooper Coup bounced back from their early season injuries. The two receivers have combined for 679 yards and four touchdowns in their four games back.

Not surprisingly, Nacua’s and Kupp’s returns correlate with a massive jump in offensive efficiency for the Rams. Los Angeles was 24th in dropback EPA (-0.044) from Weeks 3-7 without its top two receivers. In the last four weeks, the Rams have risen to sixth in dropback EPA (+0.240).

Quarterback Matthew Stafford’’s efficiency has also increased, rising from 28th in EPA/play (-0.037) over the first seven weeks of the season – one mark lower than (former) Giants starter Daniel Jones – to ninth (.221) in his last four games.

The Rams’ full-strength passing offense versus the Eagles’ ever-improving pass defense will be the matchup for this Week 12 edition of “Sunday Night Football.”
