The Eagles were clinging to a four-point lead as heavy snow continued to fall during this high-stakes Divisional Round matchup with the Rams, when linebacker Nolan Smith made arguably the most impactful play of his young NFL career so far. Seemingly unimpacted by the field conditions, Smith flew off the edge and around the opposing right tackle to get to the quarterback, knocking the ball free from the quarterback to create a game-changing turnover that both ended the Rams drive and began a scoring drive for Philadelphia. Smith's stat line included four total tackles, one sack, one tackle for loss, and one forced fumble in this one, as he helped the Eagles to a 28-22 win over the Rams in this unforgettable wintry matchup on Jan. 19, 2025.
