The Philadelphia Eagles continued their perfect start to the season by picking up their fifth win in as many games with a 23-14 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday at SoFi Stadium.
The Philadelphia club (5-0) and the San Francisco 49ers (4-0) are the only clubs undefeated in the National Football League this season.

Success on the ground was not necessarily easy to achieve. It was Jake Elliott’s two field goals that made the difference in the game. The two teams returned to the locker room only three small points apart.
As usual, quarterback Jalen Hurts had a difficult matchup. He multiplied plays beautifully, especially when he connected with AJ Brown on a 36-yard pass in the fourth quarter.
Hurts completed 25 of his 38 attempted passes through the air for 303 yards. The latter also collected 71 yards with his legs. He also scored a touchdown pass and went into the penalty area once.
His counterpart on the Rams (2-3) Matthew Stafford, however, was the victim of four sacks and managed to reach his receivers 21 times on 37 attempts.
The Bengals are regaining color
It wasn’t easy for the Cincinnati Bengals (2-3) against the Arizona Cardinals (1-4), but Zach Pascal’s touchdown after an interception just before halftime gave them some momentum. Life.
The connection between Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and receiver Ja’Marr Chase was on point. The latter caught three passes from the former and scored three touchdowns. Burrow finished the game with 36 completions for 317 yards. Chase, meanwhile, managed 15 catches for 192 yards.
With the Cardinals, Joshua Dobbs sometimes missed his passes, which was costly as Pascal grabbed the ball on one of those passes to get into the zone.
The Chiefs fly away in the third quarter
While the score was 13:13 at halftime between the Kansas City Chiefs (4:1) and the Minnesota Vikings (1:4), Patrick Mahomes took command at the start of the third quarter and served Rashee Rice perfectly for the touchdown.
Travis Kelce also got his hands dirty when he scored a touchdown late in the third quarter. Note that he had limped his way back to the dressing room at half-time.
The Vikings responded in the final quarter thanks to an Alexander Mattison touchdown, but it was too little, too late. This home defeat is the third in a row for the Minnesota club.
