Darius Cooper gave the Eagles a needed spark against the Rams, making a spectacular 18-yard touchdown catch over defensive back Quentin Lake to put Philadelphia ahead 13-3.

Cooper went up over Lake and came down with the ball for the score, showing the kind of contested-catch ability the Eagles need with DeVonta Smith and Hollywood Brown out. The rookie had one catch for 18 yards at that point, but made it count.
