Random Ramsdom: Sean McVay falls to Nick Sirianni again

Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 1/20/25

To my knowledge the last time the Los Angeles Rams beat the Philadelphia Eagles Doug Pederson was the head coach. Since Nick Sirianni became the head coach of Philly, L.A. has not defeated the Eagles once.

Sean McVay lost to Sirianni again this past Sunday and it’s not an indictment on McVay. It’s just the way it is. The Rams had a great season, but the Eagles are having a better one.

I know it’s hard for the Rams and their fans to process the defeat, but the Rams had a great year. There is just no guarantee that next season will be better, but it certainly has a chance to be.

In the meantime, thanks for checking out Turf Show Times. Enjoy your Monday and hopefully we’ll see you throughout the offseason!

Rams vs. Eagles highlights, analysis: Philly wins with hobbled Jalen Hurts (foxsports.com)

“For the first time in nearly 40 years, the NFC Championship Game will be an all-NFC East affair. Washington (14-5) will face Philadelphia (16-3) next Sunday at 3 p.m. at Lincoln Financial Field with a trip to Super Bowl LIX on the line.

The last time this happened for the NFC East was at the end of the 1986 season when the New York Giants and Washington played in the NFC title game; the Giants won 17-0 en route to their first Super Bowl championship.”

“The Philadelphia Eagles appeared to have the Los Angeles Rams beaten when Saquon Barkley ran for a 78-yard touchdown to extend their fourth quarter lead to 13 points with 4:36 left in regulation.

The Rams had other ideas. Los Angeles mounted a furious comeback push in the final five minutes of the game and made it into the red-zone with just over a minute left and an opportunity to fully erase their deficit.

In the end, Matthew Stafford couldn’t quite get the job done. Jalen Carter sacked him on a third-and-3 before the veteran quarterback misfired on a fourth-and-11 toss to Puka Nacua to stamp Philadelphia’s ticket to the NFC championship game.”

“Jalen Carter sacked Matthew Stafford on third down, and the Rams quarterback failed to connect on a pass intended for Puka Nacua on fourth-and-long to seal Philadelphia’s win in the NFC divisional playoffs.

After Kobie Turner sacked Jalen Hurts for a 12-yard loss to spur a three-and-out for the Eagles, the Rams got the ball at the L.A. 18 with 2:23 left.”
