Studs and duds from Eagles 23-14 win over Rams in Week 5

Philadelphia is 5-0 and one of two remaining undefeated NFL teams after a 23-14 win over the Los Angeles Rams that wasn’t as close as the score indicated.

The Eagles entered halftime up 17-10.

Then they held the Rams scoreless down the stretch, with defensive coordinator Sean Desai making the proper adjustments and his unit shutting the host team down at SoFi Stadium.

With preparation for the New York Jets underway, here are the studs and duds from Sunday’s win.

Watkins had 2 catches, for 4 yards on three targets, and even managed to lose yardage on a perfectly set up bubble screen that could have gone for a first down.

Opeta logged a 71.8 pass blocking grade in relief of an injured Cam Jurgens, and most important, the Eagles didn’t allow a sack to star defensive tackle, Aaron Donald.
