The Los Angeles Rams pulled off an impressive comeback against the Philadelphia Eagles, improving their record to 2-2 after trailing by 10 points with less than eight minutes left in the fourth quarter. The Rams overcame several early-season mistakes and a lackluster performance from quarterback Matthew Stafford, who threw two interceptions but led crucial drives late in the game. Kyren Williams sealed the victory with a gutsy rushing touchdown as time expired, securing coach Sean McVay’s first win against Nick Sirianni. Despite errors throughout much of the game, the Rams’ defense dominated, sacking Jalen Hurts four times and holding the Eagles to just 172 total yards.

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.
