PhotoThe Philadelphia Eagles and the Los Angeles Rams lived up to the promise of a rare late-season matchup between teams averaging more than 30 points a game. The Eagles came away Sunday with a 43-35 victory, and the N.F.C. But the cost of the victory for the Eagles will not be known until they determine the severity of a knee injury sustained by Carson Wentz, their standout second-year quarterback, who left the game in the third quarter and did not return. Although his backup, Nick Foles, helped lead the Eagles to victory, reports surfaced that the Eagles think Wentz may have torn his anterior cruciate ligament, which had many immediately reconsidering Philadelphia’s place in the postseason hierarchy. Wentz stayed on the field for four more plays, with his last pass of the game producing a 2-yard touchdown to Alshon Jeffery that briefly gave Philadelphia a lead.
