Behind Enemy Lines: An Eagles perspective as Rams prepare for a Week 12 showdown

It's that time of year again, when we roll up are sleeves and separate the LA Rams from the rest of the NFL. With the teams at 5-5, and with the Philadelphia Eagles coming to town, the chances of a victory in Week 12 hangs in the balance. For Rams fans, one advantage heading into this showdown lies in the fact that the Rams have no more games to give away. They practically must run the table to ensure that they have a fighting chance of a playoff berth if they fail to capture the NFC West Division crown.

Conversely, the Eagles sit at 8-2, and have a comfortable cushion over the second place Washington Commanders. Still, the Eagles floundered at the end of the 2023 NFL season, losing five of their final six games to limp into the post-season and suffer a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Don't look for that to happen this year. The Eagles have geared down to feature the NFL's most effective running games. And that fact has taken the pressure off Eagles QB Jalen Hurts to put the outcome of games on his back.

The Eagles rushing attack has also given their defense a breath of fresh air, boosting it to the top of the NFL as well. With so much success, How do Eagles fans view their team, and their success, so far this season?

For those answers and more, we turn to Philadelphia Sports Table Podcast Show host Jeff Warren. Jeff has hosted the show for 11 years, and covers the gamut of all professional sports in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Jeff has been kind enough to invite me to his podcast to talk about the LA Rams. So this year, I wanted to return the favor and ask him to provide some unique 'Philly' insights about the team and the perspective for this Week 12 matchup.
