The Ravens drove all the way to the Bills’ 3-yard line only to lose yards and settle for a field goal. That was a nice drive, but Baltimore’s offense still feels a little…off.

It’s now a 14-10 Buffalo lead.

Four plays after the Lamar Jackson fumble, the Bills are in the end zone.

Josh Allen snuck it in for a score on 2nd-and-goal from the 1 to give Buffalo its first lead of the night.

The Bills are up 14-7.

Lamar Jackson tried to avoid taking a sack from Damar Hamlin, only to fumble in the process. Von Miller recovered for the Bills and took the ball back to the Baltimore 24.

Good game so far. Two touchdowns and two stops.

The Ravens will have a 2nd-and-1 on their own 28 when the second quarter begins.

Nice hold by the Ravens defense after the Lamar Jackson interception.

The Bills picked up one first down, then went backward after an iffy holding penalty, a negative run by Josh Allen and finally an incomplete pass.

Baltimore has the ball back on its own 9 in a 7-7 game.

And the first defense to make a big play is the Bills.

Lamar Jackson overthrew Reshod Bateman on second down, and the ball fell right into the lap of Buffalo safety Taylor Rapp.

The Bills now have the ball on their own 43 in a 7-7- game.

And the Bills march right back down on the Ravens.

Buffalo tied up the game with a 10-play, 70-yard drive that included a conversion on 4th-and-1. Ray Davis got the score by punching it in from one yard out on 2nd-and-goal.

Both teams hold serve on their opening possession. The Ravens are back on the ball in a 7-7- game.

The Ravens march down the field on their opening possession for a score.

Baltimore needed only eight plays to go 73 yards for a score, converting two third downs along the way. Isaiah Likely made a couple nice catches before Reshod Bateman caught a 16-yard pass for a touchdown.

The Ravens lead 7-0.

What a game.

The Eagles made a defensive stand in the final minute of the fourth quarter to prevent a miraculous comeback by the Rams.

Philly will now head to the NFC Championship Game for the second time in three seasons.

What a thrilling finish to this game!

The Rams got all the way inside the Eagles’ 15-yard line on their final drive, but a Jalen Carter sack made Los Angeles have to pick up a 4th-and-11, and Matthew Stafford couldn’t complete a throw.

Hold on a minute!

The Rams are making this interesting. Los Angeles just drove down the field for a very quick touchdown, going 69 yards in 10 plays while taking only a minute and 48 seconds off the clock.

It’s a 28-22 Eagles lead. There’s 2:48 left, and the Rams have all three of their timeouts.

That’s the dagger! Wow!

On the Eagles’ first play from scrimmage following a Rams punt, Saquon Barkley made another house call, this one from 78 yards out. Running in the snow, Barkley just iced the game.

Jake Elliott missed another extra point, so the Philly lead is 28-15.

Well, at least they didn’t fumble?

The Rams offense can’t get anything going in the snow. They just punted after three plays, picking up 0 yards.

The Eagles have the ball, a 22-15 lead, and will now try to run out the last 4:47 left on the clock.

Once again the Eagles had to settle for a field goal after a fumble, and once again Jake Elliott drilled one home.

Elliott has made up for missing an extra point earlier in this game, hitting his last two kicks in some serious snow. His latest was from 37 yards out, and it gives Philly a 22-15 lead.

Can the Rams drive down for a touchdown in this weather?

A second straight Rams drive ends in a fumble after Nolan Smith came off the edge and knocked the ball loose from Matthew Stafford.

The snow is getting really bad, and Los Angeles is in a tricky position trying to come from behind.

The Eagles take over on the Rams’ 38 with a 19-15 lead.

That’s a huge turn of events.

The Eagles looked to have a touchdown via Tush Push on 4th-and-goal, but a false start penalty pushed them back five yards. Jake Elliott came on for a 23-yard field goal, and he knocked it home amid the snow.

Philly now has a 19-15 lead. The snow is really coming down!

Oh no!

Kyren Williams has been having a great game, but as the snow picked up at the start of the fourth, he just made a big mistake.

Williams had the ball punched out on a run by Jalen Carter, and the Eagles recovered and returned the ball all the way to the Rams’ 10-yard line,

Great, great game so far that’s setting up to be an exciting finish.

The Rams have the ball after a safety, and they have a chance to take their first lead since the first quarter.

Los Angeles has six sacks today, and it seems to be taking a toll on Jalen Hurts. He could barely move on the Eagles’ last drive, and he had his knee checked out after an earlier sack. Can Hurts make it through the end of this game?

The Rams’ defensive line is wrecking this game.

Los Angeles just picked up its sixth — SIXTH! — sack of the game, and this time it got the team two points. Neville Gallimore and Keir Thomas met Jalen Hurts in the end zone for a safety.

It’s now a 16-15 Eagles’ lead, and the Rams will have the ball on their own 36 with a chance to take the lead.

Los Angeles now has 15 sacks in the playoffs.

Puka Nacua dropped a perfect pass from Matthew Stafford on 4th-and-2, and the Rams punted. That’s a brutal way to end the drive for Los Angeles.

The punt was good, though. The Eagles will start their next possession from their own 4-yard line.

The Eagles QB came down awkwardly at the end of the previous drive and is now in the medical tent being looked at for a possible injury. Kenny Pickett is warming up as the backup quarterback.

The Eagles drove into Rams territory and nearly had a 1st-and-goal from inside the 10. A penalty nullified that play, however, and then soon after another Los Angeles sack fully derailed the drive.

Philly ultimately kicked a field goal on 4th-and-15 to re-take the lead. The Eagles are back up 16-13.

The Rams now have five sacks.

The Rams made it all the way to the Eagles’ 8-yard line, then fumbled on 1st-and-goal and ultimately couldn’t make up the yardage. Matthew Stafford was sacked on third down after moving around in the pocket.

It was a nice drive by Los Angeles, featuring some nice runs by Kyren Williams. Still, the red zone execution in this game has been lacking.

Joshua Karty hit a 34-yard field goal after the sack to tie the game. It’s now 13-13.

The Eagles needed only a minute and seven seconds to punt the ball right back to the Rams. Jared Verse pressured Jalen Hurts on third down, forcing an errant throw.

Los Angeles has the ball back on its own 26, still trailing 13-10.

The Rams could pick up only seven yards on their first drive out of halftime. The field is now covered in snow, and the weather is likely going to be more of a factor in the second half.

The Eagles will take over on their own 15 with a 13-10 lead.

The Eagles had a nice drive going near the end of the first half, making it all the way from their own 5-yard line to as far as the Rams’ 32. But another Los Angeles sack moved Philly out of field goal range, as Jalen Hurts was taken down for a 13-yard loss on 2nd-and-10.

Hurts fumbled on the play, but the Eagles recovered. Hurts was then sacked again on a Hail Mary attempt on the final play of the second quarter.

The Rams will receive to start the third quarter.

The Rams tried to pick up a 3rd-and-1 on the ground but they were stopped behind the line of scrimmage for a two-yard loss. Los Angeles then punted from its own 42.

The Eagles will now take over from their own 9-yard line with a 13-10 lead.

Jared Verse had some harsh words for Eagles fans during the week, and now he’s hurting them with his play.

Verse sacked Jalen Hurts on 3rd-and-8 from the Rams 30, and it was a huge play, as it knocked Philly out of field-goal range. Game-changing stuff from Verse.

Los Angeles now has the ball on its own 7-yard line.

After going for it on 4th-and-1 on their opening drive, the Rams decided to kick on 4th-and-3 from the Philly 12 on their most recent possession.

The field goal was good, but let’s remember this decision as the game plays out.

The Eagles lead is now 13-10.

Fun first quarter and the snow is starting to fall in Philly.

The Rams are currently driving in Eagles territory, thanks to this slick 48-yard catch by Demarcus Robinson.

The Eagles are back in the end zone courtesy of another big run.

This time it’s Saquon Barkley taking the ball 62 yards for a score. Philly’s offensive line opened up a massive lane and Barkley took advantage.

The Eagles are back in front 13-7.

The Rams followed up the Eagles’ three-and-out with one of their own. Philly got home on third down, with Jalen Carter sacking Matthew Stafford for a seven-yard loss.

Philly now has the ball on its own 17.

Jalen Hurts was sacked by Braden Fiske for a nine-yard loss on third down and the Eagles go three-and-out.

Remember — the Rams’ defensive line dominated in the Wild Card round against the Vikings. Philly is going to need to stay out of obvious passing situations today.

Los Angeles will now take over on offense from its own 34.

What a response by the Rams.

Los Angeles drove 67 yards in 13 plays to answer the Eagles’ touchdown with one of its own. The possession included a replay review, a no-look pass by Matthew Stafford and a conversion on 4th-and-1.

The touchdown came via a four-yard pass to Tyler Higbee.

The Rams lead 7-6 after the extra point.

The Eagles are on the board first!

Jalen Hurts kept the ball on an option, and ran it 44 yards to the house for a touchdown. Nice start for Philly, which needed only six plays to drive 74 yards.

Jake Elliott missed the extra point, however, so the Eagles only lead 6-0.

The Rams kicked off and Eagles have the ball first, starting from their own 26-yard line.

I picked the Rams to upset the Vikings in this space last week, and even still I’m marveling at the performance they had in the wild-card round. Los Angeles flat-out dominated on both sides of the ball.

Watching the Rams’ defensive line against the Eagles’ offensive line is the matchup of the divisional round for me. Los Angeles wasn’t particularly elite during the season in terms of pass-rush win rate, and yet its defensive line mounted pressure on Sam Darnold even when rushing only four.

If the Rams can get ahead early and make Jalen Hurts uncomfortable in the pocket, that game becomes a lot more interesting.

Rams coach Sean McVay heaped massive praise on his team last week after an upset victory over Minnesota Vikings last week. “I thought with everything that’s going on with our community, everything that these guys have gone through, I thought they epitomized and represented the city the right way.”

McVay added, “You talk about sports offering a platform for people to come together for a little bit of temporary relief, and I thought the way that our team competed tonight was what it looked like — to stay connected, to stay together. Just to fight, the resilience, all the things that are great traits that this team has really built throughout the challenges that they’ve gone through over the course of this season. And I’m really proud of them.”

Chris Simms and Mike Florio explain why it will be “imperative” for the Los Angeles Rams to get off to a strong start against a ferocious Philadelphia Eagles defense in the Divisional Round.

By the eye test and statistics, the Rams’ defense profiled as one that might struggle. And the team was playing only days after wildfires devastated Los Angeles, not far from where the team practices. Instead, their pressure and focus absolutely wrecked Minnesota. Dismiss coach Sean McVay’s playoff chances at your own peril.

Five of Saquon Barkley’s 13 rushing touchdowns (and four of his last six) were 30+ yards. In the Week 12 win at the Rams, he scored two touchdowns of 70+ yards. He also showed his abilities to make highlight-reel plays, making one of the plays of the year in the Week 9 win vs. JAX when he spun past one defender before pulling off a backwards hurdle over another.

Rams QB Matthew Stafford has the Rams back in the playoffs for the third time in four seasons with L.A. (the only year he failed to reach the playoffs was in the 2022 season, when he played just 9 games due to a concussion and a spinal cord contusion).

In the Rams’ Wild Card win vs. Minnesota, Stafford was 19-for-27 passing (70.4%) for 209 passing yards with two touchdown passes, no interceptions and a 117.7 passer rating.

In the Wild Card win over Green Bay, Saquon Barkley had 25 carries for 119 rushing yards as he continued to be the focal point of the Eagles offense. In the regular season, Barkley led the NFL in carries (345), rushing yards (2,005) and scrimmage yards (2,283). He became just the ninth player to rush for 2,000+ yards in a season, with his 2,005 rushing yards ranking eighth all-time (see chart). Barkley was named First-Team All-Pro for the first time of his career this season.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts suffered a concussion in the first quarter of Philadelphia’s Week 16 loss at Washington and missed the final two games of the regular season (PHI won both games Hurts missed, with Kenny Pickett starting Week 17 vs. Dallas and Tanner McKee starting Week 18 vs. the Giants with Pickett out with injured ribs).

Hurts returned to practice on the Wednesday before Philadelphia’s Wild Card game vs. Green Bay and cleared concussion protocol Friday before the game.

In his first game in three weeks, Hurts was 13-for-21 (61.9%) passing for 131 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the win vs. Green Bay.
