Block it out: Rams know they must shake off their gut-punch loss to Eagles with big challenges ahead

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams are facing the conundrum of the comeback loss.

They must decide whether to feel good about the first-half effort Sunday that allowed them to take a 19-point lead on the defending Super Bowl champions early in the third quarter — or to feel bad about the mistakes and shortcomings that allowed the Philadelphia Eagles to come all the way to back to beat them in catastrophic fashion.

The Rams (2-1) dominated the first 31 minutes, prompting Philly fans to boo their own team. Los Angeles got dominated for the final 29 minutes, giving up 26 unanswered points in a 33-26 defeat.

The Rams still could have won on the final snap, but Philadelphia broke through LA's line and blocked a field-goal attempt by Joshua Karty for the second time in the fourth quart
