Last meeting: Eagles beat Rams 23-14 in Inglewood, Calif. on Oct. 8, 2023. Last week: Eagles beat Washington 26-18; Rams beat New England 28-22.

Rams defense: overall (23), rush (18), pass (22), scoring (22). Turnover differential: Eagles plus-2; Rams plus-4. RB Saquon Barkley. Barkley combined for 198 scrimmage yards and two scores, rushing 26 times for 146 yards (5.6 average) while adding two receptions for 52 yards against Washington. With 1,137 rushing yards through 10 games, Barkley only trails Baltimore’s Derrick Henry for the NFL lead. He had his sixth 100-plus yard rushing game this season, which is the most in the NFL. S Kam Kinchens. The rookie third-round pick from Miami had eight tackles, one tackle for loss, an interception and a forced fumble against the Patriots as he continues to come on strong. Kinchens has three picks in the past three games. Eagles QB Jalen Hurts vs. Rams’ defensive line. Hurts shredded Los Angeles for 303 yards passing and 72 yards rushing last season despite the presence of superstar DT Aaron Donald. After Donald retired, the Rams turned to a committee approach to get after the passer, and it has worked with rookie OLB Jared Verse and DT Braden Fiske fitting in well next to second-year OLB Byron Young and DT Kobie Turner. But they can only unleash their excellent pass rush skills by limiting Philadelphia on early downs. Hurts has been at his dual-threat best over the past five games, accounting for 15 total touchdowns (six passing, nine rushing) against two turnovers. Eagles defensive end Bryce Huff had surgery on his left wrist on Thursday, a move that could allow him to return toward the end of the season. ... WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and DT Milton Williams (foot) each missed practice this week. ... Rams RT Rob Havenstein (ankle) looks to be trending toward a return this week. Havenstein sat out the previous two games because of the ailment. The Eagles have won all three games in Los Angeles since the Rams moved back in 2016. ... Overall, Philadelphia has won seven of the past eight. The only setback came in Week 2 of the 2020 pandemic season. Barkley has passed 100-plus scrimmage yards in eight of 10 games. That is tied with LeSean McCoy (2011) and Brian Westbrook (2007) for the most by an Eagle through 10 games. His 198 yards were his second most as an Eagle (199 in Week 9). ... The Eagles have allowed two passing touchdowns during their winning streak. Only one opponent has topped 200 passing yards against them in this stretch, with Cincinnati throwing for 222 in Week 8. ... Hurts leads all NFL quarterbacks with 11 touchdown runs and is second only to Henry's 13 scores for the Ravens. ... WR A.J. Brown leads the league in receptions of 30 yards or longer. He is averaging 18.7 yards per catch, the best mark of any player with at least 30 grabs. ... Even before he hurt his wrist, Huff struggled in his first season in Philadelphia with just 2 1/2 sacks and four quarterback hits. His snap count has dipped since he was injured ahead of a game earlier this month against Jacksonville. Huff had 17 1/2 sacks in four seasons with the Jets before he signed a three-year, $51 million free-agent deal with the Eagles. ... Philadelphia has run for at least 150 yards and two touchdowns in five straight games, something it hadn't accomplished since 1949. ... Rams WR Puka Nacua caught his first touchdown of the season in New England. He has at least seven receptions and 98 yards in three of his past four games, with only a second-quarter ejection in Seattle having limited Nacua since he returned from a knee injury. ... WR Cooper Kupp has 614 receptions through his first 98 games, which is fourth most in NFL history through 100 games. Julio Jones (619) is third. ... RB Kyren Williams averaged a season-high 5.7 yards per carry, finishing with 86 yards on 15 attempts versus the Patriots. ... Verse has 11 tackles for loss and 4 1/2 sacks through his first 10 games. Verse is pressuring the quarterback on 20.2% of pass rush snaps, which ranks second in the league overall. ... The Rams were 2 of 8 (25%) on third down against New England, their third straight game converting 25% or worse. ... QB Matthew Stafford has not been sacked in each of Los Angeles’ past three wins. Don’t be discouraged using Stafford, Kupp and Nacua against Philadelphia's pass defense. All three put up solid fantasy numbers in last season’s meeting, even as the Eagles sat on the ball for nearly 38 minutes. Stafford had 222 yards and two scores, finding Kupp eight times for 118 yards and Nacua seven times for 71 yards and a touchdown, so they'll find ways to produce.

NEW YORK — Vincent Shavers wore a grin and a black practice jersey he’d been eyeing all season. The Miami kid never would have guessed the next step in his college football career would play out in the snowy Big Apple. Not that the Nebraska freshman linebacker has not done plenty already in his Husker debut. He is the only 2024 signee to appear in every regular-season game on defense as a steady contributor while making plays on special teams too. His role in Saturday’s Pinstripe Bowl will be more. Through merit. And because multiple other NU linebackers transferred elsewhere. He’ll rotate with seniors John Bullock and Javin Wright against a run-heavy Boston College attack. “I kept working, kept working, staying patient, waiting for my time to come,” Shavers said Thursday after a brisk and sunny practice at Fordham’s home stadium in the Bronx. “Just kept putting in the work and finally got my Blackshirt. I’m proud, I’m happy, I’m ready to work.” People are also reading... Saturday is about winning one more game for the seniors, Shavers said. It’s also about the next wave of Huskers setting a tone inside Yankee Stadium for what’s to come in 2025. Nebraska’s depth chart is littered with names of those getting an opportunity amid transfers and opt-outs. Many of those snaps will become harder to earn when a fresh crop of portal additions and high-school signees arrive in January. Chances abound at defensive line where — beyond outgoing seniors Ty Robinson and Nash Hutmacher — new contributors must emerge on a more full-time basis next season. Riley Van Poppel is a lead candidate to do so now free from redshirt restrictions. His first trip to New York City has been fun, he said, but now it’s time to win a game. That’s the top priority. “Go out there and get a win to not only finish this year right... but then that leads you into next year,” the 6-foot-5, 290-pound Van Poppel said. “That really sets the tone for when we get back in January for winter workouts how those go, spring ball and then next season. This game is going to show a lot about who our team is next year.” The extra bowl work — something Nebraska hasn’t had in eight winters — means more runway for what’s coming. Like culture, with coach Matt Rhule emphasizing that trips like this are a chance to act like professionals and leave places better than players found them. Like development, with former quarterback Heinrich Haarberg leaning more into a shift to tight end as one example of bowl-season tinkering. Like relationships too. Shavers is around snow for just the second time in his life, he said. But this is the first time he’s spent this much quality time with teammates at any level, touring the 9/11 memorial and snowball fight in Central Park included. It’s leaving him thankful and motivated. “Everybody’s happy,” Shavers said. “It’s like a brotherhood. We family. I’m happy for them. It’s all for the seniors.” Shavers, perhaps not jokingly, said he’s embracing a bigger role Saturday even if it means playing long snapper or safety or something else. A glance at the defensive depth chart suggests he won’t be alone with the likes of underclassmen like linemen Keona Davis and Van Poppel, linebacker Dylan Rogers, rover Rahmir Stewart, safety Caleb Benning and others to potentially see their first extended looks. Shavers is the latest success story from Nebraska’s Miami freshmen after Jacory Barney, who broke out quickly as the team’s leading pass-catcher. Linebacker Willis McGahee IV is also seeing a role increase while defensive backs Amare Sanders and Larry Tarver continue to impress behind the scenes. New receivers coach Daikiel Shorts called the value of bowl practices “phenomenal.” They’ve helped him integrate quicker into the program in the few weeks since he left Kentucky. They’ve provided more practice repetitions to rising playmakers like Jaylen Lloyd and Carter Nelson. One game left to show the gains. Then take that momentum in a carry-on back to Nebraska and into an offseason blessedly shorter than the Huskers are used to navigating. “All the younger guys, we know what to do,” Shavers said. “We know the standard. Let’s get it done. We don’t got time to be playing no more. It’s going to be our show.” Subscribe for the best Husker news & commentary Be the first to know Get local news delivered to your inbox!Wrongly addressed package has RCMP evacuate West Kelowna family's home
El Salvador Lifts Landmark Mining Ban: Economic Boost or Environmental Risk?MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell's stirring locker room tribute to his team last week at Seattle was respectfully interrupted by seven-year veteran right tackle Brian O'Neill, who flipped the script on the game ball awards by tossing one to the boss in honor of his second 13-win season in three years. The Vikings have obliterated even the most optimistic of external predictions for this transitional season, taking a sparkling 13-2 record into their matchup against the Green Bay Packers that has made O'Connell the current favorite for the NFL Coach of the Year award.
