Eagles Shock the Rams

Posted September 21st, 2025

Move over Body Bag game and Pickle Juice game. You now have some new company…The Jordan Davis game.

Everyone has been waiting for Davis to play like the guy who was drafted 13th overall back in 2022. We finally saw that guy in the insane comeback win over the Rams. He stuffed a fourth down run. He had a sack. He was in on 5 total tackles. He saved the best for last, turning the final play of the game into an all-time Eagles moment.

Blocking a FG to seal a win is off-the-charts rare. Running it back for a TD is even crazier. What makes the play even more special is that the Eagles had already blocked a FG just a few minutes before. Jalen Carter was credited with that block, but Davis was right there as well. Incredible performance by a DT. Amazing game.

This game deserves some really good analysis with all that went on. For now, I’m just going to keep it simple. How could you not after seeing a game like that? The Eagles went from rock bottom to kings of the mountain. My mind is all over the place. I can’t believe what we just saw.

If not or Davis having the game of his young career, we might call this the Fred Johnson game. Lane Johnson was knocked out of the game early on. Matt Pryor took over and the offense stunk with him in. That wasn’t all on Pryor. Johnson took over at RT in the third quarter and the offense came alive, going for 255 yards and 20 points.

It was no fun watching the Eagles get their asses kicked, but maybe that is what it took for the team to really come alive. Jalen Hurts looked like the Super Bowl MVP in the second half. He threw the ball down the field and got it to his star receivers. AJ Brown went 6-109-1 and looked like…AJ Brown. Saquon Barkley only finished 18-46, but you can’t solve every problem at once.

The defense had an odd day. They gave up too many yards. But Vic Fangio will point to his defense holding LA to 1 for 4 in the red zone as a key reason the Eagles were able to come back and win. Fangio’s guys also had a fourth down stop and an INT. They made key plays.

There is still a lot the Eagles need to get fixed, but turning a 26-7 deficit into a 33-26 win is huge. The Eagles found a way to win. Think about how the Rams must feel. They had control of the game and could not put the Eagles away. That is two straight games where the Rams had a chance to win and an Eagles DT denied them.

Jordan frickin Davis.

This is the kind of game you can build on if everyone takes it the right way.

Eagles are now 3-0, with every win being a real challenge. Don’t take those W’s for granted. Just ask Green Bay. Everyone in the media was ready to crown them after a couple of great weeks, but the Packers lost to Cleveland 13-10 on Sunday.

Winning ain’t easy.

I’m going to give props to the defense… Sure they gave up too many points but to hold LA to 1 from 4 in the red zone was big. To have that fourth down stuff was big. When our offense got going they did play complementary football and didn’t at that point cave like we’ve seen with Eagles football before.
