damn, A.J. with a nice catch, but he bobbled it and didn't gain possession until he was OOB at the 1

could have thrown a flag on that hit on Barkley after he was already tackled.

Hurts fumbles, but Gainwell recovers. Ball is now all the way back at the Rams' 49.

Birds call TO with 0:03 left in the half

Hurts can’t keep taking these sacks especially given the situation.

Birds going for a Hail Mary, but Hurts holds the ball too long, and ends up getting sacked to end the half. smh

Eagles need a big stop to start the 3rd and then get another score. Build a lead and make LA fight from behind.

With the weather you don’t want to get into a back and forth with the lead changing hands each time. That missed extra point could really come into play late.

Given the weather, I don’t understand why they don’t run on 1st down, then run on 2nd down and if that doesn’t work, run on 3rd down?

Is there concern that the Eagles have not been able to sustain long time consuming drives?

Not really, at least on my part. I suspect we'll see more of them in the 2nd half, due to the field conditions (and adjustments by the Birds).

And the Birds' O goes 3 & out. Hurts' throw on 3rd & 3 wasn't close to A.J. Brown

Footing is becoming a problem as heavy snow bands move in... Eagles need a turnover here to take control

Someone’s going to need to get pressure on the LA QB or the Eagles defenders are going to have to make big plays rather than being outfought for long balls.

3rd & goal from the Birds' 14 ...

and the Birds sack Stafford. Jaylen Hunt with the sack.

Rams with a 34-yard FG attempt, and it's good.

13-13, with 7:37 left in the 3rd qtr.

Birds' CB Mitchell is officially out for the game due to the shoulder issue
