In a decisive matchup, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley showcased his dominance with an impressive 255-yard performance, contributing to a 37-20 victory over the Rams. This loss served as a wake-up call for the Rams, prompting coach Sean McVay to push his players towards improvement as they approached the season's final stretch. Following that defeat, the Rams went on a five-game winning streak before a season-ending loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Now, the Rams are set to face Barkley and the Eagles in a crucial divisional-round game. McVay acknowledges the formidable challenge posed by the Eagles, who feature a potent offense led by Barkley, quarterback Jalen Hurts, and notable receivers. The Rams aim to contain Barkley, who dominated in their last encounter, emphasizing the need for a solid game plan to limit explosive plays.
