Story summary

Los Angeles Rams saved their season with a last-minute 24-20 comeback victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. The Rams, trailing 20-10 late in the fourth quarter and facing an opponent they hadn't beaten since 2020, rallied behind quarterback Matthew Stafford and running back Kyren Williams. Williams scored two touchdowns in the final four minutes to secure the win. Head coach Sean McVay addressed his team on the sideline, urging them to believe in their capabilities. The victory improved the Rams' record to 2-2 and halted a four-game losing streak against the Eagles. Stafford completed seven passes during a 98-yard drive that cut the lead to three points with less than four minutes remaining. Following another defensive stop, the Rams executed a 79-yard game-winning drive capped by Williams' final touchdown run with 1:10 left on the clock. This comeback could significantly impact their playoff aspirations and momentum moving forward.
