OVERVIEW
This game had the feel of a playoff matchup. The Rams, who last year did very well at home, continued to show that they are looking to silence their critics. At first the Rams had a hard time scoring in the Red Zone, with their first three trips resulting in no scores. The Eagles had the same problem, as the Rams held them to 4 field goals. This should spark the Rams moving forward, and this will give the Eagles something to think about.

FIRST QUARTER
-Eagles take 3-0 lead on Henery's 38 yard field goal
-A 50 yard TD from Sam Bradford to Steven Jackson puts Rams up 7-3

SECOND QUARTER
-Not much scoring in this quarter as the Eagles get two field goals out of Henery to lead at half 9-7

THIRD QUARTER
-Michael Vick finally connects with Jeremy Maclin on a 49 yard strike, putting the Eagles in control 16-7.
-The Eagles would follow and extend their lead with another field goal from Henery, his 4th on the day, to go up 19-7
-The tide of the game shifted dramatically as Danny Amendola returned a kickoff for a touchdown, going 97 yards. The Rams were setting up shop for this comeback win, now only down 19-14.

FOURTH QUARTER
-With 34 seconds left in the game, Sam Bradford found an open Danny Amendola for the game winning touch down. A 9 yard touch down would give the Rams a 21-19 win.
