The Los Angeles Rams will host the Philadelphia Eagles for their Week 5 'Crucial Catch' matchup, presented by Cedars-Sinai, on Sunday, October 8 at 1:05 p.m. PT. As part of the NFL’s Crucial Catch mission to fight cancer through early detection and risk reduction, the Rams' game day at SoFi Stadium will feature on-field and in-stadium Crucial Catch elements and special moments to honor cancer fighters and survivors. In addition, the Rams will culminate their Legends Weekend during halftime with an on-field Hall of Fame Ring Ceremony for 2022 Hall of Fame inductee and Super Bowl XXXIV winning coach Dick Vermeil.

As the official health partner of the Rams, Cedars-Sinai is honored to sponsor the Crucial Catch game.

Cedars-Sinai Cancer is one of the nation's premier clinical and research destinations for cancer care. Serving one of the most diverse populations in the country, Cedars-Sinai Cancer offers interventions and screening services to patients across the Los Angeles region and beyond. Researchers have launched innovative clinical trials aimed at improving treatment for an array of cancers. Together, Cedars-Sinai and the Rams amplify these efforts to advance cancer care and survivorship locally, nationally and internationally through their Crucial Catch activations.

"Cedars-Sinai is excited to work with the Rams on Crucial Catch because getting an early diagnosis can make a world of difference," said Dan Theodorescu, MD, PhD, director of Cedars-Sinai Cancer and the PHASE One Distinguished Chair. "That's why we encourage our patients to get mammograms, colonoscopies and other preventive screenings, and to see their primary care physicians at least once a year. Catching cancer early gives a running start to remission and cure."
