  "account": "Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay has witnessed many quarterbacks during his coaching career, but one former quarterback turned offensive coordinator he particularly remembers is Sean Mannion. Now, as Mannion will coach the Philadelphia Eagles, McVay will watch his defense face this new offensive mind. McVay praised Mannion as \"really smart, conscientious, eager to learn, with great humility and curiosity.\" Mannion only started one game during his two seasons with the Rams, completing 24-of-40 passes for 208 yards without a touchdown or interception. After leaving the Rams in 2018, Mannion went on to play for the Vikings before joining the Green Bay Packers coaching staff under Matt LaFleur, a close friend of McVay's. McVay expressed his excitement about Mannion's new opportunity as the Eagles' offensive coordinator, noting the historical rivalry between the two teams. The Rams lost to the Eagles in Week 3 last season on a blocked field goal, and they are currently 0-4 against Philadelphia since 2023. With this win, McVay and his team aim to break their losing streak against the Eagles.",
