LOS ANGELES — A battle of former Jackrabbits got prime time exposure on Sunday night when the Rams hosted the Eagles, with former South Dakota State teammates Dallas Goedert and Christian Rozeboom sharing the field once again.

Goedert's Eagles beat Rozeboom's Rams 37-20 to improve to 9-2 on the season.

The man once known as the Britton Bomber caught four passes for 19 yards in the win. Meanwhile Rozeboom continued what's become a career year at linebacker, making 12 tackles in the loss. That's the fifth time this year (and third time in the last four games) that Rozeboom has reached double figures in tackles in a game. His 91 stops ranks 17th in the NFL.
