The Los Angeles Rams rallied from a 10-point deficit to beat the Philadelphia Eagles 24-20 on Sunday, with Kyren Williams running for two touchdowns in the final four minutes.
The Rams had struggled offensively all afternoon, but a decision by Eagles coach Nick Sirianni to go for it on fourth down instead of kicking a chip-shot field goal gave the Rams new life.
Matthew Stafford led a 98-yard drive, capped by Williams' one-yard TD run with 3:59 left, making it 20-17. The Eagles then punted, setting up Stafford for the winning drive.
Stafford connected with Puka Nacua three times and had a clutch eight-yard scramble on the 10-play, 79-yard march, and Williams finished it off with a seven-yard touchdown with 1:10 remaining.
The Eagles failed to convert a single third down on 12 tries and were outscored 14-0 in the second half. They have now been outscored 54-20 in the second half this year.
The Rams' win was a significant turnaround, given their struggles earlier in the game. The Eagles, meanwhile, will look to regroup after a tough loss.
In other NFL action, the Kansas City Chiefs remained undefeated, beating the Las Vegas Raiders 23-19, while the Dallas Cowboys kept the Houston Texans winless with a 34-30 victory.
