proved to be one of the more exciting games of the season. Initially starting out slowly Authentic David Edwards Jersey , the Rams mounted a fierce comeback, though ultimately lost the game. The loss of RT Rob Havenstein for one snap proved to be quite costly as the Eagles got a sack-fumble on the one snap he missed, and that was simply too much for the Rams to overcome.This time around, the Eagles are likely to miss QB Carson Wentz from the get-go, so the Rams should be better prepared to handle QB Nick Foles.Let’s jump into the matchups to watch:RB Todd Gurley vs OLB Nigel BradhamWhat better time for a star running back to bounce back than a week after he wasn’t used? Gurley abused the Eagles in 2017, though just like last week, simply wasn’t used nearly enough. Gurley mounted 13 carries for 96 yards and two touchdowns, he also chipped in with three receptions for 39 yards. The Eagles’ run defense is ranked 28th in yards-per-carry allowed at 4.9 David Edwards Los Angeles Rams Jerseys , setting the scene for a massive game from the Rams’ workhorse. Time to let the pony ride, the Rams need to design a gameplan on the back of their best player.RG Austin Blythe vs DT Fletcher CoxAustin Blythe has performed as one of the best guards in the league, though he fetches another extremely tough assignment in Fletcher Cox this week. Cox is arguably the second best defensive tackle in the league right after our very own Aaron Donald. If the Rams want to be successful on the offensive side of the ball, they’ll need to limit Cox’s destruction.DT Aaron Donald vs Brandon BrooksThe Eagles may have Fletcher Cox, but we have Aaron Donald. Donald is destroying worlds as he’s currently sitting at 16.5 sacks on the season and well within range of breaking the single-season defensive tackle sack record of 18 sacks by Keith Millard, set in 1989. His opposition is very good in Brandon Brooks, but Donald is simply in another class. Look for him to create history on Sunday Night Football in Los Angeles.SS John Johnson III/Marqui Christian vs TE Zach ErtzZach Ertz is by far and away the Eagles’ best weapon offensively. He’s currently sitting at 98 receptions for 1,016 yards and six touchdowns on the year. He’s on pace to beat the all-time single-season TE receptions record of 110 Los Angeles Rams Jerseys Stitched , set by Jason Witten in 2012. The Rams responsible for covering him will be strong safeties John Johnson III and Marqui Christian (who’ll be subbed on for ILB Mark Barron). They’ll need to everything they can to limit Ertz, though it will be tough in zone coverage.QB Jared Goff vs Philadelphia’s secondaryComing off arguably the worst game of his career, Jared Goff will have a chance at a major rebound this week. The Eagles’ secondary has been ravished with injuries with starters SS Rodney McLeod (former Ram), CB’s Ronald Darby, Jalen Mills, and Sidney Jones all out. Goff will have a chance to light up the patchwork group of Corey Graham, Malcolm Jenkins (who’s still really good), Cre’Von LeBlanc David Edwards Jersey nfl draft , Rasul Douglas, Avonte Maddox, and Chandon Sullivan.LT Andrew Whitworth vs RE Michael BennettLet me preface by saying this, Michael Bennett hasn’t practiced this week and might very well miss this game. Now, if he does play, he’s going to be a major issue for the offensive line. Bennett plays DE on base downs and kicks to DT at times on passing situations, and boy is he still disruptive. Andrew Whitworth will get his fair share of Bennett, so he’ll have his hands full all game with the duo of Bennett and Brandon Graham. The Los Angeles Rams will be looking to get back on track against the 3-11 Arizona Cardinals today. But despite the record difference Custom David Edwards Jersey , I’m nervous about how this team is going to play. They’re seemingly running out of gas down the stretch and are banged up to boot.If the Rams are going to pull back into form, it’ll take more consistent effort from their star players.Jared GoffSince the bye week, Goff has looked like Jeff Fisher came back to be the head coach. He has been less than accurate even when the offensive line can keep the pocket clean. Sean McVay needs to find a way to get his QB out of his own head so that Goff can get back to being a functional leader of this offense.C.J. AndersonTodd Gurley will be a game-time decision and if he’s able to go, he will almost certainly be less than 100%. With the Rams extremely thin at RB, they brought in Anderson to help share the load as Gurley recovers.It’ll be interesting to see how much Anderson is involved and how effective he can be after joining the team last week.Andrew WhitworthI love me some Andrew Whitworth, but he’s been less than stellar the past few games. I’m not sure if it’s father time catching up, a nagging injury, or something else.... but the Rams need him at the top of his game against Cardinals pass rusher Chandler Jones.Aaron DonaldDonald has a chance to put himself in the record books this week Discount David Edwards Jersey , and the Cardinals provide an excellent opportunity for him to excel.We know he’s going to be damn near unstoppable, and that’s why he’s here. It’s amazing to watch.ANYONE else on the front 7That said, the Rams need SOMEONE else to step up. Ndomukong Suh and Michael Brockers have been ghosts this season and Dante Fowler Jr. has flashed at times, but has been inconsistent.The Arizona offense is not a good unit. They are in the middle of a rebuild and the Rams front seven needs to show up and finally flash some potential.
