Why NFL history suggests Eagles need to force a turnover to beat Rams in Week 4

The Philadelphia Eagles' defense and special teams have failed to force a single turnover throughout the season, with Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, Zack Baun, and the defensive line collectively struggling to secure an interception or fumble. With Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams set to face the Eagles in Week 4, the absence of a turnover could spell trouble for the Eagles, who are currently at 2-1.

ESPN Research points out that no team has ever managed a winning record through four weeks without forcing a turnover, making it crucial for the Eagles to change course and secure a takeaway during their upcoming matchup.
