Puka, Kyren Fuel Rams’ Fourth-Quarter Rally Past Eagles, 24-20

The Los Angeles Rams erased a 10-point deficit with 14 unanswered fourth-quarter points, rallying past the Philadelphia Eagles 24-20 on October 4, 2026, at Lincoln Financial Field as Philly’s offense completely stalled after halftime.

Philadelphia had everything lined up. Matthew Stafford threw for 316 yards, but he spent part of the first half working the deli counter, throwing two interceptions to Andrew Mukuba and Cooper DeJean. Philly turned those mistakes into a 20-10 halftime lead behind Jalen Hurts’ two touchdown passes to Darius Cooper, who finished with three catches for 33 yards and both scores. Jake Elliott added a 56-yard field goal, Britain Covey ripped off a 41-yard punt return, and the Eagles looked in control despite already being thin offensively. Then Saquon Barkley injured his hamstring on his second carry and never returned, leaving Tank Bigsby to lead the ground game with 55 yards. Hurts finished just 12-of-27 for 93 yards, while Makai Lemon added three catches for 27 yards and Dontayvion Wicks had three for 18. And once again, Philadelphia’s offense looked flat-out bad for long stretches , no rhythm, no sustained drives and almost nothing threatening downfield.

Then Puka Nacua and Kyren Williams took the game away. Nacua returned with nine catches for 125 yards and added a 2-yard rushing touchdown, while Williams totaled 146 scrimmage yards — 80 rushing and 66 receiving — with two fourth-quarter touchdowns, including the 7-yard winner with 1:10 left. Stafford survived his two early sandwiches, Davante Adams was held to 32 yards, and the Rams still outgained Philly 414-172. The Eagles went 0-for-12 on third down, scored nothing after halftime and watched Byron Young wreck their final possession with 2.5 sacks on the day. Philly had two picks, a 10-point lead and every chance to close it. Instead, an offense that already looked stuck in mud completely disappeared when the game tightened up, and the Rams walked into the fourth quarter hungry and left with the whole meal.
