The Philadelphia Eagles are 2-0 and heading home to Lincoln Financial Field to face a familiar foe: the 2-0 Los Angeles Rams! In this episode, we’re breaking down everything you need to know about this highly-anticipated Week 3 matchup.
This isn't just any game; it's a playoff rematch and a test of two of the best teams in the NFC. We'll be talking about the big storyline: the Matthew Stafford "revenge game." The veteran QB is coming off two straight losses to the Eagles, including the NFC Divisional Round where the Eagles' defense shut down his final drive.
We’ll also be looking at the Eagles’ offense and the potential for a Jalen Hurts breakout game. While the Eagles are winning, critics have pointed to the lack of explosive plays and the low passing yardage from Hurts so far this season. We'll examine the stats and discuss why this could be the week Hurts and the passing game, led by A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, finally explode against a Rams defense that has struggled to contain the Eagles' offense in the past.
We'll also get into the crucial defensive matchups, including the Eagles' new-look defense going up against the tough Rams' offensive weapons. Go Birds and Fly Eagles Fly!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
