RB D'Andre Swift paced the Eagles backfield with 14 carries for 56 yards and one touchdown.

LB Nicholas Morrow led the Eagles defense with 11 total tackles and three sacks.

Early storylines to watch, and what they mean for the Rams
The health of Los Angeles' offensive line against as another physical defensive front awaits.
Philadelphia's interior defensive line alone features Carter (6-3, 314), Fletcher Cox (6-4, 310), and Jordan Davis (6-6, 336). Through the first four weeks of the season, the Eagles defense has allowed the second-fewest rushing yards per game (63).
Pass blocking won't be easy against the Eagles, so it's critical for the Rams' interior offensive line especially to keep Matthew Stafford's jersey clean. It's also imperative for to make the most of their run plays when they do call them, because at 3.3 yards per game, the Eagles don't give up many big gains on the ground to opponents.
For Los Angeles' secondary, another dynamic receiving duo awaits in Brown and wide receiver Devonta Smith, not to mention another dual-threat quarterback capable of making plays in the pocket or out of structure when a play breaks down. Just like last week, it will be important not to lose track of receivers and remain "sticky" in coverage.
