After the Philadelphia Eagles’ 33-26 win over the Los Angeles Rams, all eyes turned to defensive tackle Jalen Carter – not just for his dominant play, but for the chain he wore in his postgame locker room interview.

Carter was seen with a large gold chain featuring a No. 8 pendant, the same number worn by Rams rookie pass rusher Jared Verse. The sight immediately set off speculation among fans that Carter may have won the chain from Verse in a bet tied to last year’s playoff clash.

Adding fuel to the fire, Carter and Verse had already exchanged heated words before kickoff back in January, when Verse made a pregame lap around Lincoln Financial Field. According to reporters, Verse brushed off the chatter by saying: “Nah, I’ll take that 77K for next round,” a reference to the postseason bonus NFL players receive for advancing in the playoffs.

While rumors swirled, evidence suggests the chain was already Carter’s. He was photographed wearing it while entering the stadium before Sunday’s matchup, indicating it wasn’t exchanged after the game. The Eagles even posted pictures showing Carter arriving with the No. 8 pendant already on him.

The relationship between the two players, however, doesn’t appear to be hostile. Carter and Verse were seen shaking hands and joking before kickoff, showing mutual respect despite last season’s playoff tensions.

Whether the chain truly originated with Verse or has always belonged to Carter remains unclear. For now, one thing is certain: Carter’s fiery play and bold postgame style have fans talking, and the No. 8 chain has become the latest subplot in the Eagles-Rams rivalry.

Eagles Fans Furious After Refs Miss Obvious Holding Call on Final Play vs. Broncos
The Philadelphia Eagles’ first loss of the season has left fans enraged — not just because of the narrow 21-17 score, but because of what many are calling a blatant officiating failure. With just eight seconds left in the game, Jalen Hurts delivered a perfect 40-yard throw to tight end Dallas Goedert, putting the Eagles in position for a potential game-winning touchdown. However, Goedert appeared to be held by Broncos defensive back No. 34 as he reached for the ball, causing him to miss what could have been the play of the night. Replay footage clearly showed the defender grabbing Goedert’s arm and restricting movement, but to the disbelief of everyone watching — no flag was thrown. The call (or lack thereof) instantly went viral, as slow-motion clips spread across social media with thousands of Eagles fans demanding accountability from the NFL’s officiating crew. “This was a textbook defensive hold — how do you miss that?” one fan wrote on X. Others accused referees of inconsistency, pointing out that earlier in the game, Eagles cornerbacks were penalized for far lighter contact. The missed call ended Philadelphia’s hopes of remaining undefeated, and frustration spilled over from the fanbase to the locker room. Players reportedly left the field visibly upset, knowing that one non-call may have changed the outcome of the game. As the NFL continues to face scrutiny over its officiating standards, this controversial ending will no doubt remain a sore point for Eagles Nation.
