Live Updates: Eagles vs. Rams – Score, TV Information, Streaming for NFL Playoff Clash
This Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles will take on the Los Angeles Rams as the NFL playoff divisional round continues.
The Eagles secured their spot by defeating the Green Bay Packers 22-10 during the wild-card round, while the Rams made a strong statement with a 27-9 victory over the Minnesota Vikings in their wild-card matchup.
Entering the playoffs, the Eagles were seeded No. 2 compared to the Rams’ No. 3, leading to the game being hosted at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
The Rams are aiming for a major upset away from home, featuring a powerful offense led by Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua, and Kyren Williams, capable of matching the Eagles. However, Philadelphia poses a tough challenge, having the top-ranked defense in DVOA according to FTN.
The Eagles’ defense demonstrated its strength by limiting the Packers to just 10 points and creating four turnovers in their victory. Philadelphia’s offense, spearheaded by an excellent offensive line and running back Saquon Barkley, can dictate the game’s pace. Barkley had a remarkable career-high of 255 rushing yards in a Week 12 clash against the Rams.
The Rams are eager to avenge their loss to the Eagles back in November during “Sunday Night Football,” while Philadelphia aims for its second Super Bowl appearance in three years.

Yet, Demarcus Robinson managed to snatch the ball from Rodgers, turning it into a significant 48-yard gain for the Rams. This put Los Angeles in position for a first down within field goal range as the second quarter began.
Weather updates for Eagles vs. Rams game
A light snow started to fall just before Barkley’s impressive 62-yard touchdown run, indicating possible weather changes during the game. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning, predicting 2-4 inches of snow accumulation in Philadelphia this afternoon.
If snowfall gets heavy, it may favor the team with the stronger running attack—the Eagles. Therefore, the Rams are likely hoping the snowfall holds off for a while longer.

Matthew Stafford injury report
After a solid hit from Eagles defensive back Quinyon Mitchell following a 5-yard scramble on the opening drive, Stafford remained in the game but was seen grimacing on the sidelines by NBC reporter Kaylee Hartung.
