The Eagles are one of only two unbeaten teams in the NFL, and they’re taking the show on the road to SoFi Stadium for a matchup against a Rams team that is 2-2, looking like playoff contenders, and getting Cooper Kupp back in the lineup.
Philadelphia will look to contain Los Angeles Rams rookie receiver Puka Nacua on the outside. At the same time, Aaron Donald is still a force, and his matchup with Jason Kelce and Sua Opeta could determine the game.
