Perhaps this is nitpicking because the Eagles are unbeaten after all. But they haven't looked very good at least compared to last season.

The Rams, on the other hand, have been better than perceived. Matthew Stafford is playing at a high level, Puka Nacua has put up Cooper Kupp-type numbers and LA's defense has shown solid improvement. Aaron Donald still is around to create havoc.

The Eagles are traveling cross-country following an overtime division win against the Commanders. So this isn't a great spot for them.

Philly's glaring weakness is pass defense. They rank 27th. Stafford and Co. can take advantage of that - and that's not figuring Kupp is going to play. If he does, it's just an added bonus. The Eagles have surrendered 28 points to the Vikings and 31 to the Commanders.

The Rams should be well prepared for this non-division matchup. They just faced the Colts and their mobile QB Anthony Richardson. The Colts have Eagles tendencies coached by Shane Steichen, who was the Eagles' offensive coordinator last season.
