On The Rampage: Rams Implode in Week 3 Collapse Against Eagles – A Disaster of Epic Proportions. I don’t even know where to start. If you watched the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3, you know what I’m talking about. This was not just a loss. This was a catastrophic, mind-boggling implosion that left Rams fans, myself included, furious and utterly humiliated. One moment, we were watching a team firing on all cylinders, dominating every phase of the game, and the next… well, I feel dumber for ever believing in them this week.

The Rams faced the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, September 21, 2025, at Lincoln Financial Field, and what should have been a commanding win turned into one of the most humiliating losses in franchise history. Trailing the Eagles 26-7 in the third quarter, Philadelphia staged an unbelievable 26-point unanswered comeback, culminating in a final, devastating play: a 44-yard field goal by Rams kicker Joshua Karty blocked by Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis, returned 61 yards for the game-sealing touchdown. It was the kind of collapse that leaves you questioning everything about the team, the coaching, and the players themselves.

The Breakdown

Let’s talk about the half that mattered most. The Rams should have been running up the score—33 to 3, maybe even 40 points, not letting the Eagles sniff life. The first half showed a team moving with precision: Stafford hitting Puka Nacua, red-zone efficiency (well, partially), and a defense that seemed to keep Hurts in check. And then came the third quarter—the unraveling. Suddenly, the team looked winded, confused, and utterly incapable of maintaining the intensity that had dominated the first half. Prevent defense, timid play-calling, inexplicable hesitations on fourth-and-short situations—this was not football, this was an exhibition in ineptitude.

Offense That Couldn’t Finish

Matthew Stafford ended the day with 196 passing yards and two touchdowns, passing Matt Ryan for ninth all-time in passing touchdowns—a personal milestone, yes—but it felt empty given the way the team collapsed. Puka Nacua had 11 catches for 112 yards, but all that production turned into wasted potential because the Rams went just 1-for-4 in the red zone, settling for field goals instead of touchdowns when they had the Eagles on the ropes. Third-down conversions? A pitiful 3-of-10. The play-calling, at times, was utterly pathetic—runs ignored, throws forced, opportunities squandered.

Special Teams Disaster

And don’t even get me started on special teams. Two blocked field goals in the fourth quarter, one returned for a touchdown, is not just embarrassing—it’s historic in the worst possible way. The Eagles exploited every protection breakdown, and the Rams’ inability to adjust or protect their kicker cost them the game. This isn’t a fluke; it’s a systemic failure that should have all of LA shaking their heads in disbelief.

Coaching Questions

Sean McVay’s decisions were baffling, infuriating, and above all, frustrating. Throwing on third-and-short, preventing the team from cashing in on dominance, and dialing back aggression in critical moments—this isn’t just conservative; it’s a recipe for collapse. We saw it in real-time. The Rams, who dominated early, somehow forgot how to play football in the second half.

Rams History Will Not Forget

Let’s be clear: this is one of the worst losses in Rams history. Not because of the opponent, not because of injuries, but because the team completely collapsed when it had every advantage. The Eagles’ win probability at one point was just 8.6%—and yet they scored 26 unanswered points. This loss will sting, and the Rams should feel like absolute trash until their next matchup, especially when they face the Eagles again.

The takeaway? This team has the talent, the tools, and the potential—but what we saw Sunday was a complete and total breakdown. If the Rams want to be taken seriously, if they want to play like a team capable of competing for championships, they need accountability at every level: players, coaches, and execution across the board. Until then, expect frustration, outrage, and disbelief from every single fan who witnessed this historic collapse.

Scoring Recap

The Rams should have been up 33–3 at halftime. Instead, they allowed one of the most stunning comebacks in NFL history.

The Week 3 loss against Philadelphia will be remembered not for what the Rams did right, but for how spectacularly they fell apart when victory was within reach. And yes, I am furious. Absolutely pissed. This is On The Rampage, and there’s no sugarcoating it: the Rams’ implosion against the Eagles was a disgrace that will haunt this season if lessons aren’t learned immediately.
