As the Eagles face the Rams, several postseason records are on the line for key players
Philadelphia: The Eagles are gearing up for a big game against the Rams, and it’s not just about winning. There are some impressive records that could fall during this matchup.
First off, Jalen Hurts is on fire. He’s thrown 158 passes in the postseason without an interception, which is pretty remarkable. He’s just six passes away from breaking into the top four longest streaks in NFL history. That’s some serious pressure!
Then there’s DeVonta Smith, who’s just six receiving yards shy of breaking a franchise record. He’s been a key player in the playoffs, and hitting that milestone would be a nice feather in his cap.
The Eagles have also set a record for home playoff games, not allowing more than one rushing touchdown in 23 straight games. That’s a huge deal! They’ve only let in multiple rushing touchdowns once in their entire playoff history.
And get this: they’ve held their last six home playoff opponents to 17 points or fewer. That’s the fifth-longest streak ever! It’s clear their defense is something to be reckoned with.
On the offensive side, Dallas Goedert is making waves too. He’s just one catch away from setting a franchise record for playoff receptions. If he can snag a few more, he’ll be climbing the all-time tight end list.
When the Eagles out-rush their opponents, they usually come out on top. They’ve got a solid track record, and they out-rushed the Rams by a whopping 222 yards in their last meeting. If they keep that up, they’ll be in great shape.
And let’s not forget about the interceptions. The Eagles have already racked up three this postseason, which is impressive. They haven’t had back-to-back games with interceptions since 2008, so they’re looking to change that.
With all these records on the line, it’s going to be an exciting game. Fans are definitely in for a treat as they watch to see if the Eagles can make history!
