Live Updates: Eagles vs. Rams in Week 12 Sunday Night Football
The Philadelphia Eagles are squaring off against the Los Angeles Rams on “Sunday Night Football” as both teams vie for NFL playoff positions.
The Eagles are leading the NFC East, now a competitive two-team race as November arrives. While the addition of Saquon Barkley has garnered attention, it’s the Eagles’ defense — highlighted by raving rookie Quinyon Mitchell — that has really stepped up their game.
Defensively, the Eagles have been impressive: prior to Week 12, they were ranked first in the NFL for yards allowed and sixth in points allowed. This improvement is largely credited to new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, who has made the defense one of the toughest in the NFC.
The Rams have also revived their season. After a rocky start at 1-4, Los Angeles has rebounded strongly, going 4-1 since their bye week in Week 6.
However, the Rams still face challenges in the competitive NFC West. As they enter Week 12 positioned a game behind the unexpected Arizona Cardinals, they’re eager to capture their first division title since 2021. Sunday night presents a chance to continue their strong momentum.
It’s a showdown with playoff implications on “SNF.” YSL News Sports will provide live updates, key moments, and more from the Eagles vs. Rams match below. All times are in Eastern.
Kyren Williams Fumbles on Rams’ First Drive
The Rams seemed to have a strong first drive set up, but running back Kyren Williams lost the ball during their first red-zone attempt. The Eagles quickly recovered, capitalizing on the turnover.
Initially, officials indicated that Williams was down before the fumble occurred. However, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni challenged the call, and despite the Rams rushing to start their next play, the original decision was reversed.
What is ‘Heaven Can Wait’?
“Heaven Can Wait” is a 1978 sports fantasy film about Joe Pendleton, a backup for the Los Angeles Rams. Mistakenly taken to Heaven by a novice guardian angel, Pendleton resumes life in a new body— that of millionaire Leo Farnsworth— after the mix-up is discovered. The plot follows his efforts to lead the Rams to a Super Bowl as their quarterback.
The film received nine Academy Award nominations and was a favorite of actor Rob Lowe, who credited it for sparking his passion for the Rams during a monologue on NBC’s “Football Night In America” pregame show.

NFL Defensive Rookie Rankings: Rams’ Verse and Eagles’ Mitchell Highlighted
If you are interested in the favorites for the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, the upcoming Rams-Eagles game is essential:
1. Jared Verse, DE, Los Angeles Rams (-190)
With both strong background and performance, Verse is anticipated to remain the frontrunner throughout the rest of the season.
2. Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Philadelphia Eagles (+320)
Mitchell may not have the same level of production as other defensive backs, but the recognition Philadelphia is receiving is helping elevate his position.
3. Laiatu Latu, DE, Indianapolis Colts (+2000)
Latu’s background places him third behind Verse and Mitchell, but significant work is needed for him to catch up unless he experiences a surge in performance during the latter half of the season.
