WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. – The NFC West is the closest division race in football, with three teams sitting at 5-5, including Los Angeles. Coming off a 28-22 road win against Patriots, the Rams will host the 8-2 Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football in Week 12. Philadelphia is on a six-game win streak, while the Rams are 4-1 since their bye week.

On Wednesday, head coach Sean McVay, quarterback Matthew Stafford and safety Kamren Kinchens spoke with the media about the Week 11 win and upcoming primetime showdown with the Eagles.

Here are the most significant quotes and talking points from the press conferences, which can be viewed below:

"I think the biggest thing that I would say that makes (Eagles defensive coordinator) Vic (Fangio) a great coach is he's going to adjust and adapt and figure out what is going to be best given the circumstances. There's still foundational philosophy. There's a way of making people play and understanding of how to try to limit what people are trying to get done." - McVay

Fangio does a fantastic job of disguising his defense's true motive before the snap in order to confuse the opposing offense. McVay acknowledged that, calling them "one of the best defenses in the league." Luckily for the Rams, Stafford is one of the smartest quarterbacks in football.

Offensively, running back Saquon Barkley has made waves with a slew of incredible plays ranging from backwards hurdles to explosive runs. McVay said he's "a huge energy spark plug" for a team that is giving him a variety of opportunities to shine in the run and pass game.

McVay said that the Eagles' signature "tush push" play has created an earned advantage for them in those short-distance scenarios, adding that "hopefully you're efficient enough that you don't get to too many of those."

"You work all training camp and all the beginning of the season to get points like this... where you're still in your divisional race, you're playing a primetime opponent on a big stage. Yeah, absolutely. It's an exciting game. There's going to be a lot of buzz around this one. They're a hell of a football team." - Stafford

Stafford said that the Eagles' roster is "as good as it gets in this league, if not the best." It's no secret that Philadelphia has been one of the hottest teams in football over the last six weeks, but the Rams are not far behind. The Eagles' front is "physical, fast, aggressive," Stafford said, and that extends throughout the defense as well, but it's accentuated in their front end.

It's a defensive scheme that Stafford is familiar with having played and practiced against it in Detroit, but it doesn't "waste players," he said, and disguises their intentions well.

Last week, Stafford's four touchdowns and 295 yards brought out his competitive fire in the form of finger gun celebrations and winks to the sideline. Stafford said that "has always been there" but wasn't always on display early in his career when he wasn't having the same success – "they have more camera angles than they used to," he said with a laugh. He's hoping to have another successful game in primetime against the Eagles, worthy of more hand gestures.

"It ain't like nothing about my ability has changed. That's always been there. It's just about understanding where I'm needed in the defense... I was kind of trying to force my way into making plays... so just going through the growing pains about it, and just not getting discouraged when something not going my way." – Kinchens

After securing eight tackles, one tackle for loss, one forced fumble and a game-sealing interception, Kinchens won his second NFC Defensive Player of the Week award of his rookie season. He said he "didn't see that coming," but he is focused on his ultimate goal, which is winning every week, but added "once I start getting Defensive Player of the Year, then it'll start moving the needle."

Kinchens said getting support from veteran safeties like Kam Curl and Quentin Lake has helped his progression, putting him in the right places at the right times to make plays – "even on a good play, they tell me what I could do better," he said.
