Los Angeles was within six points of the lead after Matthew Stafford threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to DeMarcus Robinson with 10:51 remaining in the third quarter. But after Gainwell’s touchdown, the Rams missed a field goal on their next drive and punted after that.
Stafford threw a garbage touchdown pass to Cooper Kupp, but the offense was far from what it needed to compete with the Eagles’ high-octane offense. They had no answer for Barkley.
The veteran quarterback had 243 yards on 24 of 36 passes. Puka Nacua led the team with nine catches for 117 yards. It was the second straight game that Nacua gained over 100 yards.
