Researching the upcoming showdown for the Los Angeles Rams traveling to take on the Philadelphia Eagles has proven to be both enlightening and concerning. The visiting team has challenges in pass blocking, particularly from interior offensive linemen. But the home team is not infallible. Philly's pass offense is not very good. And the run defense is not performing as well as expected either.
While nobody is claiming that LA's rushing offense is tearing up the NFL, it has been stubbornly effective through two games this season. Augmented by rushing from wide receivers Puka Nacua and Jordan Whittington, the offense has rushed for 221 yards and three rushing touchdowns.
