Divisional Round Showdown: Which NFL Teams Are Poised to Defy Expectations?
Philadelphia came away with a win, thanks in large part to a defense that stepped up. The Eagles defense, however, had nothing on the dominance the Rams defense displayed in Monday’s 27-9 drubbing of the Vikings.
Playing in Arizona because of the wildfires in the Los Angeles area, the Rams defense looked inspired, sacking quarterback Sam Darnold nine times and intercepting him once while limiting the high-powered Vikings to 269 total yards and a successful play-rate of 31.0.
Defense has led the way for Los Angeles over the last month, as the Rams have gone 6-1 since being run over by the Eagles with the lone setback coming in Week 18 when the starters were rested with the NFC West already wrapped up.
