Los Angeles Rams (5-6) – Philadelphia Eagles (9-2): 20-37
It was probably the biggest night of Saquon Barkley's career. With 255 rushing yards, he broke the Eagles' record and his career high. By adding 47 lengths in the air, he exceeded 300 yards gained in a match. He is only the twelfth man in NFL history to achieve such a feat.
Above all, Saquon Barkley (26 races, 255 yards, 2 TDs – 4 rec, 47 yards) led the Eagles to victory. His 70-yard touchdown run at the start of the third quarter allowed Philadelphia to pull away (7-20). The one from 72 yards at 2mn44 from the end finished killing the match (14-34).
Diesel Philadelphia
Philadelphia's success took a little time to emerge, but it is indisputable. Because the defense also played its role well by limiting the Rams to less than 300 yards and sacking Matthew Stafford (24/36, 243 yards, 2 TDs) five times.
It was the Rams who got into the game the best, with the first touchdown for Kyren Williams (16 races, 72 yards, 1 TD) (7-3). But the Philadelphia defense quickly closes the game. And Jalen Hurts (15/22, 179 yards, 1 TD) finds AJ Brown (6 rec, 109 yards, 1 TD) to put his team back in front before the break (7-13) .
The Saquon Barkley Show
After the break, it’s time for Saquon Barkley. The runner takes the first ball of the third quarter, pierces the defense and enters the end zone 70 yards further (7-20).
The match comes alive. After ending the first half with three punts, the Rams advance again, helped by Puka Nacua (9 rec, 117 yards) and Cooper Kupp (8 rec, 60 yards, 1 TD). But it's Demarcus Robinson (2 rec, 15 yards, 1 TD) who scores to reduce the gap (14-20).
Ruthless, the Eagles continue. Kenneth Gainwell scores in turn (14-27). Then Philadelphia scores on the kick (14-30) and Barkley puts the final point of the victory with his 72-yard ride (14-37).
Solid in defense, overpowering in attack, the Eagles continue to impose their football.
