Rams Hit Several Predicted High Marks Against Eagles

Byron Young sacked Jalen Hurts to force a fourth-quarter fourth down. The Eagles would fail to convert on the following play.

2. Nate Landman is on the end of a third straight turnover

He was. I predicted Landman would cause a fumble in the red zone. Not quite. Landman recovered the fumble forced by Jared Verse, setting the Rams up in their own red zone. They would score a touchdown on the following play.

3. The Rams stop the tush push at least once

They did not. While one was a clear false start by the Eagles, the others didn't, and once again, the play remains one of the most unstoppable in football.

4. Davante Adams has another spectacular day

My prediction: Adams has at least five catches for 110 yards and two scores. Adams would record three receptions for 56 yards and one touchdown. While Adams had a spectacular 44-yard touchdown reception, the fact that he was held to two catches and 22 yards for the rest of the game isn't great, especially for how often he was targeted in the end zone.

5. Emmanuel Forbes has the final laugh

He would not. Forbes was having a decent enough game but once the game reached the fourth quarter, the Rams had exhausted virtually every trick they had, forcing them to either run a blitz of fake blitz that they've already shown or run standard coverage and hope the pass rushers would be able to get home.

The entire defense got picked apart and on the critical fourth quarter fourth down in the red zone, where if the Eagles didn't score, the Rams likely win, the Eagles went to DeVonta Smith, who was covered by Forbes, and the Heisman winner won.
