Matches in the snow have an exotic side, they give beautiful images. But when it comes to football, it severely complicates things.
The Eagles and Rams saw this on Sunday when the snow began to fall heavily in the second half. Saquon Barkley rolled out. But not all of his teammates shone as well.
AJ Brown hated it.
“Did you see? I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy » said the Eagles receiver after the game. “ It wasn't fun. No way. Difficult match, bad conditions, but we did our best. We tried to bring home the victory, and I'm glad we succeeded. »
However, Los Angeles developed a real passing game, and the end of the game was close. SO ?
“ The conditions were crazy. You couldn't see anything on the field, so imagine throwing the ball and making catches, even if they made it in the end. But with the game on the line, they had no choice. I don't think that was their first option. I think they would have favored racing if they could. »
AJ Brown Limited
The Rams threw 44 passes. The Eagles, much less: 20.
With 285 yards gained on the ground, there was not necessarily a need to throw. And AJ Brown was therefore only able to catch 2 balls for a gain of 14 yards, even though he was targeted 7 times. Obviously frustrating for him.
Even Puka Nacua had to be targeted 14 times to scrape 6 receptions. Snow is no friend to receivers.
