Notable Eagles additions

  • Selected Toledo DB Quinyon Mitchell with the 22nd overall pick in the first round of in this year's NFL Draft: Widely regarded as a contender for Defensive Rookie of the Year honors, Mitchell since Week 6 has allowed 0.5 yards per coverage snap, second-fewest among cornerbacks with at least 100 coverage snaps, per Next Gen Stats.
  • Signed S C.J. Gardner-Johnson to a 3-year contract in March: Back for a second stint with Philadelphia, Gardner-Johnson brings a veteran presence to the Eagles' secondary. His two interceptions are second-most on Philly's defense behind fellow safety Reed Blankenship's three.

Top performers in Week 11

QB Jalen Hurts completed 18 of 28 pass attempts for 221 yards in the Eagles' 26-18 home win over the Commanders.

RB Saquon Barkley powered the offense with 26 carries for 146 yards and two touchdowns.

WR A.J. Brown and TE Dallas Goedert paced Philadelphia's receivers with five receptions each; Brown finished with 65 receiving yards and Goedert 61.

LB Zack Baun's 14 total tackles and Blankenship's 10 total tackles and one interception led the way for the Eagles' defense.

On special teams, K Jake Elliott missed 2 of his 4 field goal attempts (misses were from 44 and 51 yards; makes from 21 and 31), while P Braden Mann averaged 44.3 yards per punt across four punts.

Early storylines to watch, and what they mean for the Rams

If you're a fan of trench play, this matchup between the Rams' defensive front and the Eagles' offensive line is for you.

A Los Angeles pass rush finding its stride faces arguably its biggest test of the season against a Philadelphia offensive line powering the league's No. 5 total offense and No. 7 scoring offense.

The Rams defense owns the NFL's best pressure rate going into Week 12 at 41.9 percent, according to Next Gen Stats, while the Eagles offense is tied with the Browns for the 16th-highest pressure rate allowed.

This will be fun to watch.
