The Los Angeles Rams are primed to challenge the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles in their upcoming showdown at Lincoln Financial Field. After a heart-wrenching playoff loss last season, where a crucial sack by Jalen Carter on Matthew Stafford denied a potential game-winning touchdown, the Rams have made significant offseason moves. They secured Stafford with a contract extension and brought in Davante Adams, who replaces the injury-prone Cooper Kupp. Jerome Bettis has labeled them a dark horse, citing their ability to counter the Eagles' strong running game with new defensive tackle Poona Ford.

Philadelphia, while still a formidable opponent, faced some vulnerabilities with the loss of key defensive player Milton Williams. This matchup will serve as an early indicator of both teams' championship aspirations, with the Rams seeking to demonstrate that their strategic improvements can yield success on the field. For the Eagles, it’s a chance to reaffirm their status as champions amidst a motivated opponent seeking revenge.
