Summary

  • Los Angeles erased a 20-10 halftime deficit by scoring twice in the final 3:59, with Kyren Williams capping a 98-yard drive and then adding the go-ahead 7-yard touchdown with 1:10 left.
  • Philadelphia opened the door when Jalen Hurts missed Darius Cooper on fourth-and-goal from the Rams' 2-yard line, then went three-and-out before its final possession ended with two sacks and an incompletion.
  • The Rams' defense dominated key downs, holding the Eagles to 0-of-12 on third down and 1-of-4 on fourth while limiting them to 172 total yards and 3.0 yards per play.
  • Williams finished with 147 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns, while Puka Nacua returned from his Week 1 absence with nine catches for 125 yards despite Matthew Stafford's two interceptions.
  • The comeback lifted the Rams to 2-2 heading into a home game against Buffalo, while the Eagles also fell to 2-2 and lost Saquon Barkley early to a hamstring injury before next week's London trip to face Jacksonville.
