Eagles fall to Rams as offense stalls and veteran tackle retires
Yahoo Sports reported that the Philadelphia Eagles fell 24-20 to the Los Angeles Rams on October 8, 2026, after going 0-for-12 on third-down attempts. The loss left both clubs at 2-2 on the season and was accompanied by the announcement that veteran left tackle Lane Johnson was retiring and that guard-center Cam Jurgens had been traded for draft picks. Earlier in the week, phillyvoice. com noted the Week 4 clash would pit the Eagles’ run defense against the Rams’ rushing attack and feature a battle between the secondaries.
Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio told reporters, as cited by Bleeding Green Nation, that the Eagles needed more takeaways and outlined a new safety rotation. Bleeding Green Nation also highlighted the teams’ poor penalty differentials and limited offensive involvement for several players. The same outlet reported injuries to quarterback Quinyon Mitchell, edge rusher Jonathan Greenard and cornerback Cooper DeJean during the second half. Ahead of the game, PhillyVoice said the Eagles had slipped to the lower half of NFL power rankings, reflecting ongoing offensive woes and mounting injuries.
