00:00Sunday night football in the city of angels to cap off the week 12 Sunday slate last night in the
00:09National Football League he is Donnie right side I am Ben Stevens we are back together here on this
00:14Monday morning to sit in the armchair and react to everything we saw around the week 12 Sunday
00:21slate because each and every week now DRS which is six four remaining after this weekend in Turkey
00:27day on the horizon in the month of December here in less than a week every game has an impact on
00:34your divisional race your conference standing in the hunt of course to appear in Super Bowl 59 in
00:41New Orleans in the Philadelphia Eagles certainly look the part of a true Super Bowl contender make
00:50that seven straight wins for the birds going on the road last night to LA in winning by three
00:57scores 37 to 20 DRS and most of the opening half rather competitive game the Rams jumped out to an
01:05early lead Philadelphia look pretty good near the end of that first half but in the second it was
01:11sake one and the rest of the Eagles pulling away for good winning by 17 covering as a three-point
01:19road favorite we'll talk about sake one's career day last night in Los Angeles but the Eagles are
01:25nine and two in winners of seven in a row absolutely impressive yes and also the odd
01:31theme that continues with the birds is they're terrible in the first quarter as they were down
01:36seven to three you saw the first two possessions for the Rams the first one probably was going for
01:40a touchdown if not for the fumble for Kyra Williams the second one did go for a touchdown
01:44like boy the Eagles actually gonna wake up off the mat or is this a really bad spot but the one
01:47thing that we do bet no Ben watching coordinators like Sean McVay some of the best in the business
01:52at those scripted plays that were torching the Philadelphia Eagles once you got through the
01:56scripted plays and teams had to make adjustments adjustments Vic Fangio was absolutely spectacular
02:01in that second quarter what minus three minus four yards total for the Rams in that quarter
02:06where the Eagles seized control of 13 to 7 and then you just had that lightning bolt to start
02:11the second quarter hey let's see if the Rams can get a stop for the Eagles to see if they can
02:15continue their dominance here say Quan Barkley to the house on a long touchdown run which really
02:20set the tone for the second half the one thing I will give credit for is Matthew Stafford still
02:25has an unbelievable arm Puka Nakua over the next I don't know three to four years if he stays
02:29healthy he's gonna be one of the most dominant wide receivers that we've seen over the past
02:33decade Cooper Cup certainly not as effective as he was in the past scores that late touchdown but
02:37I'm not giving up on the Rams but let's again focus back on the Eagles and what this means
02:41absolutely wrong this was a team that was decimated with injury sitting at two and two
02:46when everybody including myself was questioning whether Nick Sirianni was actually up for the
02:50job and how quickly Bill Belichick would accept that job in the offseason he's kept that locker
02:55room together the defense has been spectacular and also adjustments here look at Kellen Moore
03:00hey look I want to be a high-flying passing attack that has vertical routes all day long
03:04and understanding what a dynamo you have in the backfield in Saquon Barkley and letting him eat
03:0926 carries for 255 you have a quarterback that's making 250 million dollars and still he's even
03:15saying you know what you know I don't need to throw it all over the lot here let's just give
03:18it to the running back the best player on our football team it's great to watch in the Eagles
03:22at nine and two incredible
