The Rams' defense thrived without Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett against the Eagles. Here's why those valuable snaps could pay off in the NFL playoffs.
Michael Duarte argues that the Los Angeles Rams' defensive depth proved resilient after securing a 24-20 victory against the Philadelphia Eagles without injured stars Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett. Playing at Lincoln Financial Field, the Rams limited Philadelphia to 172 total yards and held them to 0-for-12 on third-down conversions.
Defensive coordinator Chris Shula relied on rotation players like Kobie Turner and Braden Fiske, while Byron Young delivered 2.5 sacks. Duarte contends that navigating these absences forged vital camaraderie and confidence, ensuring the unit will be stronger once Donald and Garrett return together.
