Eagles grades by position after running over Rams in LA originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Behind another stellar rushing performance and an impressive evening from their defense, the Eagles put together a complete performance in their 37-20 win over the Rams.

They have now won seven straight games and are rolling as they enter Week 13 of the 2024 season.

Here are the position-by-position grades from SoFi Stadium:

Quarterback

Jalen Hurts: 15/22, 179 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT; 12 attempts, 39 yards

The Eagles didn’t need Jalen Hurts to really air it out in this one but he played a clean game and didn’t turn it over again. He was without DeVonta Smith in this game so he fed A.J. Brown in the passing game. Brown had 6 of Hurts’ 15 completed passes. Hurts also picked up some tough yards on the ground.

Grade: B+

Running back

Saquon Barkley: 26 attempts, 255 yards, 2 TDs; 4 catches, 47 yards

I’m running out of ways to tell you how good Saquon Barkely is. In this game, he had 302 scrimmage yards, becoming just the 12th player in NFL history to have 300+ scrimmage yards in a single game. He also set an Eagles’ single-game rushing record, surpassing LeSean McCoy’s 217-yard game in the Snow Bowl against the Lions. Barkley also set a new single-season career-high in the 11th game of the season. He absolutely has to be in the MVP mix. And Kenny Gainwell chipped in with 5 carries for 22 yards and a touchdown.

Grade: A+

Receiver

A.J. Brown: 6 catches on 7 targets, 109 yards, 1 TD

No DeVonta Smith in this game so that meant a lot of work for A.J. Brown. He probably could have had some more targets in this game but he picked up chunks and was really good running after the catch. The only other receiver to catch a pass was Jahan Dotson, who had 1 for 4.

Grade: B+

Tight end 

Dallas Goedert: 4 catches on 5 targets, 19 yards

It wasn’t a huge day for Dallas Goedert in the passing game but all three tight ends — Goedert, Grant Calcaterra and CJ Uzomah —…
