    Game, start time, who will play in week 12

    Week 12’s version of “Sunday Night Football” pits two NFC playoff hopefuls against each other, though one team may have more at stake than the other.

    SoFi Stadium will play host to “SNF” for the second week in a row as the Los Angeles Rams take on the Philadelphia Eagles in prime time. Both teams are coming off wins in Week 11. Philadelphia defeated the Washington Commanders in a divisional game and Los Angeles beat the New England Patriots on the road last Sunday.

    Between the two teams, only the Eagles are currently in the playoffs as leaders of the NFC East. The Rams are 1.5 games behind the Commanders for the final wild card spot in the NFC and one game behind the Arizona Cardinals for first place in the NFC West.

    Here’s what you need to know about ‘Sunday Night Football’ in Week 12:

    Since their Week 5 bye, the Eagles appear to have the best defense in football under defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.

    Philadelphia hasn’t lost a game since coming out of the bye and is riding a six-game win streak entering Week 12. In that span, the Eagles have allowed more than 20 points just once: a 28-23 win over the Jacksonville . Jaguars in week 9.

    They haven’t just faced bad opponents. The six-game win streak includes wins over the Bengals (27 points per game, sixth-best scoring offense) and Commanders (28 ppg, fourth-best).

    Philadelphia also recently limited opponents’ yardage to the point where the team has risen to the top of the leaderboard in offensive yards allowed: just 273.1 per game. The Eagles also rank second in yards allowed this season (173.2 per game) and lead all NFL defenses in EPA allowed per play over the past six weeks (-0.235).

    These numbers bode well when it comes to facing their Week 12 opponent.

    OPINION: The Red-hot Eagles’ winning formula could lead to another Super Bowl

    The Rams have managed to right the ship of their 2024 season thanks to the return of two big guns in the passing game.

    Los Angeles is now 5-5 after a 1-4 start to the season and 2-1 in the three games since wide receivers Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp returned from their early-season injuries. The two receivers have combined for 679 yards and four touchdowns in their four games back.

    Unsurprisingly, Nacua and Kupp’s returns correlate with a huge jump in offensive efficiency for the Rams. Los Angeles ranked 24th in dropback EPA (-0.044) from Weeks 3 through 7 without its top two receivers. Over the past four weeks, the Rams have risen to sixth in dropback EPA (+0.240).

    Quarterback Matthew Stafford’s efficiency has also increased, from 28th in EPA/play (-0.037) through the first seven weeks of the season – a mark lower than (former) Giants starter Daniel Jones – to ninth (0.221) in his last four games.

    The Rams’ full-strength passing attack versus the Eagles’ ever-improving passing defense will be the matchup to watch for this Week 12 edition of “Sunday Night Football.”
