The Philadelphia Eagles finished with 68 net passing yards and went 0-for-12 on third down in a 24-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, according to NBC Sports. The game was played Sunday, Oct. 4, 2026, and the outlet reported the figures as part of its recap of the Eagles' offensive struggles.
The third-down failures were total: Philadelphia never converted once across 12 attempts, per NBC Sports. The passing game produced little, with the 68 net yards reflecting both the limited aerial output and yardage lost on sacks. The Rams won by four points despite what other outlets described as an uneven performance of their own.
Coverage of the game framed the result as a warning sign for Philadelphia. Yahoo Sports, in its Week 4 winners and losers piece, wrote that the Rams struggled but still beat an Eagles team that "might be in trouble." The Wall Street Journal, in a separate recap, noted the game's shifting odds and how the outcome validated the Rams' standing as contenders. NBC Sports Philadelphia also reported that head coach Nick Sirianni again had to explain his reasoning on a critical fourth-down decision, the latest instance of him addressing such calls publicly.
The loss dropped Philadelphia to a 24-20 defeat in a game where its offense could not sustain drives. The 0-for-12 third-down mark and 68 net passing yards stand as the clearest measures of that failure, according to NBC Sports.
Next up, the Eagles will look to correct their third-down and passing issues in their following matchup, while Sirianni's fourth-down choices are likely to draw continued scrutiny.
