Sean McVay loves how Rams pass rush performed vs. Eagles

Sean McVay was happy with Chris Shula's pass-rush designs against the Eagles, which created constant pressure.

In their Week 4 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Los Angeles Rams made a concerted effort to pressure quarterback Jalen Hurts, despite missing key defensive players Aaron Donald and Jaylen Watson. Eagles' absence of DeVonta Smith and injured Saquon Barkley further tipped the scales in favor of the Rams' aggressive approach.

Head coach Sean McVay praised the defensive unit's performance, noting the team's "11-as-one" strategy and the effectiveness of players like Byron Young, Kobie Turner, and Omar Speights. The Rams' pass rush resulted in Hurts being sacked four times and hit seven times, holding the Eagles to a measly 68 net passing yards and 172 total offensive yards.

McVay commended the team's communication, urgency, and pressure application, crediting the players for executing their game plan.
