Cooper Kupp had eight catches for 118 yards in the former Super Bowl MVP's dynamic season debut for the Rams, who have lost three of four despite hanging in with three probable Super Bowl contenders during that stretch. Kupp made five catches for 56 yards on Los Angeles' opening drive, but the offense struggled after that.

Matthew Stafford passed for 222 yards and hit Tutu Atwell and rookie Puka Nacua for touchdowns, but Los Angeles' offense didn't cross midfield in the second half. Nacua finished with seven catches for a career-low 71 yards.

The Eagles earned another road victory punctuated by another set of successful "tush push" plays, but they'll also lament missed opportunities while failing to score at least 25 points for the first time this season despite racking up 454 total yards.

Philadelphia went 13 for 18 on third downs after struggling in that area last week, but also had to settle for short field goals by Jake Elliott after drives lasting 17 plays, 15 plays and 10 plays.
