Williams scores twice late as Rams rally past Eagles 24-20

Kyren Williams scored two touchdowns in the final four minutes as the Los Angeles Rams rallied from a 10-point halftime deficit to beat the Philadelphia Eagles 24-20 Sunday. His 7-yard run with 1:10 remaining capped a 79-yard drive, and Byron Young’s two sacks on the Eagles’ last possession helped secure the road win.

Los Angeles trailed 20-10 until Williams scored with 3:59 left. A kickoff out of bounds gave Philadelphia the ball at its own 40, but the Rams forced a three-and-out and got possession back at their 21. Matthew Stafford completed passes to Puka Nacua, Tyler Higbee and Tutu Atwell to cross midfield and move into scoring range.

Stafford’s 8-yard scramble brought the Rams to the Philadelphia 11. Two Williams carries took the ball to the 7 before he ran around the left end for the go-ahead touchdown. Harrison Mevis’ extra point established the final four-point margin.

Young then sacked Jalen Hurts for a 7-yard loss and followed with a strip-sack that cost Philadelphia another eight yards. The Eagles recovered that fumble, but Hurts’ fourth-down throw to Darius Cooper fell incomplete. Stafford took a knee to finish the game, leaving both clubs at 2-2.

The Rams’ late production came after Stafford’s two first-half interceptions helped Philadelphia build its lead. Jake Elliott kicked field goals from 29 and 56 yards, and Cooper caught touchdown passes of 18 and 10 yards from Hurts. Nacua’s 2-yard rushing touchdown briefly pulled Los Angeles within three before Cooper’s second score just before halftime.

The Eagles lost Saquon Barkley to a hamstring injury early in the first quarter. Initially listed as questionable to return, he was downgraded to out, according to Philadelphia’s official game account. He finished with two carries for eight yards and one catch for two yards. Tank Bigsby rushed 14 times for 55 yards, and Will Shipley added 23 yards on six carries.

Williams finished with 80 rushing yards on 16 carries and caught 10 passes on 13 targets. Nacua returned to the lineup with nine receptions for 125 yards on 12 targets. Higbee caught five passes for 67 yards. Stafford completed 32 of 51 throws for 317 yards; all three Rams touchdowns came on runs.

Philadelphia managed 172 total yards to Los Angeles’ 415 and failed on all 12 third-down attempts. Hurts completed 12 of 27 passes for 93 yards, with both touchdowns going to Cooper. Los Angeles’ defense held the Eagles scoreless after halftime, giving its offense enough opportunities to complete the comeback.
