When the Philadelphia Eagles edged out a victory over the Los Angeles Rams in a Week 14 thriller last season, many anticipated (and hoped) that there would be a postseason rematch. While it never came to fruition, the NFL’s schedule announcement in April showed that the rematch would be a Week 15 prime time game on NBC’s Sunday Night Football.
Back in April, this was expected to be one of the biggest non-divisional games of the season. The Rams were coming off a remarkable season that ended prematurely and the Eagles had high expectations coming off a Super Bowl victory 2 months prior.
