The Rams are rolling in Philadelphia.
Edge rusher Jared Verse strip-sacked quarterback Jalen Hurts on the Eagles’ second play from scrimmage in the second half and it didn’t take long for Los Angeles to fully capitalize on the opportunity with a touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford.
The Rams now lead the Eagles 26-7 early in the third quarter.
On second-and-7 from the Philadelphia 13, Verse came in from Hurts’ right and strip-sacked the quarterback with a hard hit. Linebacker Nate Landman picked up the loose ball at Philadelphia’s 10-yard line to give the Rams an extra possession.
On the first play of that next drive, Stafford rolled to his right and hit an open Kyren Williams for a 10-yard score.
Stafford is now 9-of-18 for 107 yards with two touchdowns and a pick.
That was also Verse’s first sack of the season.
