PHILADELPHIA -

The Eagles are trying to straighten out the mistakes that cost them the game last week at San Francisco.

They're a seven-point favorite Sunday against the St. Louis Rams at Lincoln Financial Field. And a win is needed to stop the panic by the fans, FOX 29's Howard Eskin says.

The Birds also need to find the running game. They hope to do that with the return of their right tackle.

Lane Johnson returned to practice Tuesday after missing the first four games due to suspension. The Eagles hope his return will help in some way with the running game.

Johnson was not permitted to be at the Eagles' facility for that time, not permitted to have any contact with the coaches. But he will start on Sunday. Nice to have him back.

Eskin says it still amazes him that the Eagles did not score a point on offense on Sunday. It was also a big surprise to the Eagles players, who after Sunday said they were embarrassed.

Running back LeSean McCoy was one of those players, running for all of 17 yards on 10 carries on Sunday.

"There is no way a Chip Kelly offense should be shutout. It's hard to imagine," Eskin said.

Quarterback Nick Foles knows he has to get better after the offense scored zero points last week against the 49ers.
