Story summary

Los Angeles Rams 24–20 Philadelphia Eagles

Kyren Williams scored two touchdowns in the final four minutes, including a go-ahead score from seven yards out with 1:10 left. Matthew Stafford led drives of 98 and 79 yards in the fourth quarter to rally Los Angeles from a 10-point deficit. The Rams' defense also produced a crucial goal-line stand late in the game.

The Eagles had the chance to extend their lead but failed on a fourth-down conversion attempt, giving the Rams new life. This decision by Eagles coach Nick Sirianni was pivotal as it allowed the Rams to stay within striking distance and eventually take advantage of their scoring opportunities.

With the win, both teams moved to 2-2 on the season. The victory snapped a four-game losing streak for the Rams against the Eagles and marked one of the most improbable comebacks in Sean McVay's tenure as head coach.

🔮 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Kyren Williams ran for two touchdowns in the final four minutes as Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams rallied from a 10-point deficit to beat the Philadelphia Eagles 24-20 on Sunday.
🔮 What the new 41-year-old on the block did do was give — along with Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Jaylen Brown and VJ Edgecombe — a sneak preview that maybe, just maybe, the long underperforming Sixers might finally rise to the moment this season and meet their championship expectations.
🔮 That number could stay put against an Eagles defense that has yet to force a turnover.
🔮 He called James a teammate, a brother, a Sixer who will fight on the court side by side with them to chase the franchise’s first championship since 1983.
🔮 Philadelphia will turn to Zack Wheeler on Sunday to try and finally clinch its fifth straight playoff berth and avoid the franchise’s worst collapse since 1964.
🔮 With their attempt at clinching an NL wild card teetering on an epic collapse, the Philadelphia Phillies will start Aaron Nola against Tampa Bay on two days’ rest.
🔮 The Phillies would have clinched their fifth straight playoff berth with a win against the Rays and an Arizona loss to San Diego.
🔮 A playoff berth that seemed a lock just days ago will come down to the final two games.
🔮 Bryson Stott will start at second base in the first game of a three-game series with the Phillies needing at least one win to move closer to their fifth straight playoff berth.
