It’s a painful Sunday for Philadelphia Eagles fans. Just take it from me. After the Birds blew a 17 point lead against Washington last week they needed to start strong Today against the Rams at home.
First Eagles possession, Miles Sanders is back from injury but was a little rusty at first, he coughs the ball up, Rams take over they’d drive down and score.
Now 14-3 Rams in the second, Jared Goff finds Tight End Tyler Higbee for the short score.
Birds seem to have life again after the Rams Cooper Kupp fumbled a punt deep in Ram territory, Sanders would scamper in for 6, Eagles down by five at half.
But that’s as close as they would get, third quarter, Goff finds a wide open Tyler Higbee on a 28 yard touchdown pass, Higbee’s third of the day.
Rams would add a touchdown late. And with that, this Birds fan might might be looking something else to do with his Sunday Afternoons.
Final score 37 -19.
The Eagles start the season with back to back losses for the first time under Doug Pederson.
They’re back at home next week against the Bengals.
