Eagles vs Rams: LA Rams Secure Dramatic 24-20 Comeback Win

The Los Angeles Rams pulled off a stunning fourth-quarter comeback to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles 24-20 on October 4, 2026. Despite trailing by 10 points late in the game, the Rams scored two touchdowns in the final four minutes to secure the victory, leaving both teams with a 2-2 record for the season.

The Final Surge: How the Rams Won

The Rams struggled offensively for much of the afternoon, but the momentum shifted following a critical coaching decision by Philadelphia. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni opted to go for it on fourth down rather than kicking a "chip-shot field goal" that would have potentially put the game out of reach. When the Eagles failed to convert, the Rams gained new life.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford orchestrated two massive touchdown drives of 98 and 79 yards. The comeback was capped by Kyren Williams, who ran for two touchdowns in the closing minutes, including the game-winning score from seven yards out [1].

The Eagles' Historic Offensive Collapse

While the Rams' finish was impressive, the story of the game was the Philadelphia Eagles' unprecedented offensive failure. The team set a franchise record for the worst third-down performance in its history, finishing the game 0-for-12 on third-down attempts [2].

Key Factors in the Eagles' Struggle

• Severe Injuries: The offense was severely depleted. Star players DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert were sidelined before the game, and running back Saquon Barkley was forced to leave the game midway through [2].
• Quarterback Struggles: Jalen Hurts had one of the most difficult outings of his career, finishing with only 93 passing yards [2].
• Lack of Chemistry: Analysts noted that Hurts and his remaining weapons have yet to mesh effectively with new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion [2].

The Eagles' defense kept them competitive throughout the game, but the offensive void became insurmountable in the second half, where Philadelphia failed to score a single point.
