DROUGHT OVER: Foles tossed a 9-yard pass to Riley Cooper with 30 seconds left in the second quarter, ending a drought of 18 drives and 97:04 without an offensive TD. The Eagles set several team records on offense last year, but have been inconsistent this season. They have 11 offensive touchdowns, only four more than their defense and special teams.
"It's unfortunate that we ran out of time," coach Jeff Fisher said. "I'm proud of the way the guys just battled and battled. I think everybody on the sideline thought we were going to put the ball in the end zone there at the end and win it."
SHADY'S PROGRESS: LeSean McCoy, an All-Pro last year, had 81 yards rushing on 24 carries. He had 39 yards on 29 carries in the previous two games. The return of right tackle Lane Johnson from suspension helped open a few more holes for McCoy. But he hardly resembles the guy who set a franchise record for yards rushing last year.

"Turnovers equal victories,Cheap NFL Jerseys China," Thornton said. "We try to get our hands on the ball and we've been capitalizing on it."

NO RUSH: The Rams have only one sack this season by Aaron Donald in Week 2. Robert Quinn, who led the NFL with 19 sacks last year, was shut out again.
"We have a lot of improving to do," Foles said. "We all know that and that's what really excites us."
PROTECTING FOLES: Despite missing starters Evan Mathis and Jason Kelce, the offensive line didn't allow Foles to be sacked for the third time in five games. Foles has been sacked once in the last four games after going down five times in the season opener.
