Rams snap count review: L.A. defense puts the pressure on Philly

The Los Angeles Rams defense held the Philadelphia Eagles to just five completions out of 16 passing attempts in the second half of Sunday's game, ultimately securing a 24-20 victory for L.A. at Lincoln Financial Field. Defensive players showcased their skills through various pre-snap looks, with the Rams blitzing on 60% of snaps and generating pressure on 13 of 18 attempts.

Blitz specialist Byron Young stood out with 54 snaps and a 89% play rate, contributing six tackles, two sacks, three QB hits, and a forced fumble. Safety Quentin Lake maintained his 100% play rate, nearly intercepting an Eagles pass, while Kamren Curl replaced Lake in the secondary and capitalized on an Eagles touchdown pass. Cornerback Trent McDuffie defended passes more than he allowed completions and contributed to the team's overall defensive success.
