Rams Rally for Fourth-Quarter Victory Over Eagles

By Drooid · · How we work

Game Summary

In Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season, the Los Angeles Rams erased a 10-point deficit in the final quarter to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles 24-20. After trailing 20-10 entering the fourth, the Rams engineered two scoring drives capped by 1-yard and 7-yard touchdown runs by running back Kyren Williams. Quarterback Matthew Stafford guided a 98-yard drive that put the Rams within three points, and a subsequent 79-yard march set up Williams’ second score with just over a minute remaining, giving Los Angeles the lead for good.

Background & Context

Both clubs entered the matchup at 2-2 on the season. The Rams had struggled offensively early, committing two interceptions and failing to convert on a key fourth-down attempt in the first half. Rain-soaked conditions at Lincoln Financial Field further hampered passing accuracy. The Eagles, coached by Nick Sirianni, elected to forgo a short field-goal attempt on a late fourth-down play that would have extended their lead to three scores; the failure to convert handed the Rams new life.

Data & Statistics

  • Final score: Rams 24, Eagles 20.
  • Kyren Williams: 16 carries, 80 yards, two rushing touchdowns; also 10 receptions for 66 yards.
  • Matthew Stafford: 32-of-51 passing, 317 yards, two interceptions, no passing touchdowns.
  • Puka Nacua: nine catches, 125 receiving yards.
  • Eagles: 0-for-12 on third-down attempts; Jalen Hurts finished 12-of-27 for 93 yards, two touchdowns.
