Eagles DC Vic Fangio: Number of snaps impacted defense against Rams, but have to finish
The Eagles had a 20-10 lead over the Rams deep into the fourth quarter of last Sunday's game against the Rams, but they wound up losing when the Rams scored back-to-back touchdowns in the final four minutes of the game.
The Los Angeles Rams secured a 27-24 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in their final game of the season, despite the defense led by coordinator Vic Fangio, who faced a significant challenge. The Eagles led 20-10 in the fourth quarter, but the Rams answered with two consecutive touchdowns to clinch the win. The first scoring drive for the Rams began at their own 2-yard line, while the second covered 79 yards.
Fangio was questioned about the impact of the defense playing 82 snaps in those final possessions, including penalties but excluding a kneeldown at the end of the game. He acknowledged that the cumulative effect of being on the field for that amount of time had an impact, but emphasized the need to find a way to finish the game.
The Eagles struggled both offensively and defensively against the Rams, and if this trend continues, the task for Fangio and the defense to secure wins for the team will become increasingly difficult.
