The Philadelphia Eagles edged out the Los Angeles Rams 27-24 to secure a spot in the NFC Championship Game. The snowy conditions proved challenging for both teams, but the Eagles ultimately made key plays on offense and defense to secure the win.
Rookie Quinyon Mitchell suffered an injury in the first quarter after attempting a tackle on Matt Stafford, which limited his performance. However, he is expected to be fine for next week’s game against Washington.
Cooper DeJean had a standout game, limiting yardage and looking solid against the run. His coverage skills were particularly impressive, but he was denied a pick that could have sealed the win late in the game.
Jalyx Hunt made a crucial impact with a high-effort sack on Matt Stafford. The rookie’s performance was a bright spot, despite some other moments of struggle.
The Eagles also saw limited playing time from Johnny Wilson and Oren Burks, who replaced injured player Nakobe Dean. Burks’ struggles were noticeable, but it’s likely the team will stick with veteran players in the playoffs due to their proven track record.
