A Fourth-Quarter Turnaround in Philadelphia
For three quarters, the Eagles had the advantage on the scoreboard. The teams finished the opening period tied 3-3 before Philadelphia pulled ahead with a 17-point second quarter. Los Angeles answered with seven points during that period, but the Eagles still entered halftime leading 20-10.
A scoreless third quarter preserved that margin and left the Rams needing a substantial late response. They delivered: Los Angeles outscored Philadelphia 14-0 in the fourth, completing the comeback in regulation. The difference between the teams was not their first-half production, but their ability to finish.
Philadelphia’s second-quarter surge accounted for 85% of its scoring, yet the Eagles never added another point after halftime. That second-half shutout gave the Rams room to recover despite Matthew Stafford’s two interceptions. Those turnovers were significant setbacks, but they did not prevent Los Angeles from finding enough offense to reverse the result.
The supplied scoring summary does not identify the decisive drive’s length or timing, or individual red-zone and fourth-down sequences. What it does establish is the game’s defining contrast: Philadelphia led by 10 entering the final quarter, then watched Los Angeles take the lead while its own scoring remained stalled.

Kyren Williams — 16 CAR, 80 YDS, 2 TD. Williams provided the Rams’ most productive rushing performance, averaging 5.0 yards per carry and scoring twice. His touchdown production supplied an important part of an offense that needed to overcome both a double-digit deficit and turnovers.
