The Los Angeles Rams overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles 24-20 on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. Writer Vincent Bonsignore argues that the dramatic comeback prevented a disastrous 1-3 start and preserved the team's championship aspirations. Running back Kyren Williams scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns after a crucial goal-line stand by the Los Angeles defense kept the deficit manageable.

Bonsignore notes that the victory improved the Rams to 2-2 ahead of an upcoming game against the Buffalo Bills, giving head coach Sean McVay's squad needed breathing room in the NFC West. Defensive end Byron Young sealed the victory with two sacks on Philadelphia's final drive, while quarterback Matthew Stafford led the comeback despite earlier throwing two interceptions.
