The Rams were spiraling toward disappointment -- to 1-3 and to another loss to the Eagles. And then for a quarter, they showed the very foundation that made them preseason Super Bowl favorites. So, who really is this team right now? Let's dive in: www.nytimes.com/athletic/766...

Rams defense today: - 172 yards allowed (fewest for the Eagles in 12 years) - 0 of 12 third downs - 1 of 4 fourth downs - Zero scoring drives of more than 35 yards The Eagles injuries were significant, but that was some dominance today. www.nytimes.com/athletic/766...

The dinner spot I’m at here in Philly keeps breaking out in “Whose house? Rams house!” chants. The locals do not seem amused.

Did the Rams we expected finally show up during fourth-quarter rally to beat Eagles?

Kyren Williams the past two games: 31 carries, 168 yards, 2 TDs (5.4 yards/carry) 16 catches, 137 yards (6.9 yards/target) His versatility and consistency mean everything with the ups and downs of this Rams offense right now: www.nytimes.com/athletic/764...

FINAL: Rams 24 Eagles 20 Matthew Stafford notches his 40th career 4th-quarter comeback and 51st career game-winning drive. Puka Nacua and Kyren Williams were unreal in the fourth. And so was the defense, pitching a second-half shutout. The Rams are 2-2 and finally beat Philly.

Kyren Williams has been the Rams' best player these past two weeks. Just on a heater.

0130

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 8h

Touchdown, Kyren Williams. What a beast of a run -- the stiff-arm, the finish through contact and the extension. The Rams woke up these past two drives -- 177 yards on 20 plays. Now, can the defense hold? Rams 24, Eagles 20, 1:10 to go.

090

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 8h

Puka Nacua has really come alive this second half. Turning into a normal Puka day -- 9 catches for 125 yards. The Rams offense looks much different when he's doing this with consistency, too.

060

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 8h

The Eagles are now 0 for 11 on third downs. This game is right there for the taking for the Rams. Three minutes left with the reigning MVP searching for one more fourth-quarter comeback.

080

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 8h

Touchdown, Kyren Williams. The Rams do go 98 yards, waking up at the right time. Another big Puka Nacua catch got it going, and this time it was the Eagles committing penalties. They've got a real shot now if the defense can force one more stop. Eagles 20, Rams 17, 3:59 4Q.

0100

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 8h

The Eagles are now 0 for 10 on third downs. And 1 of 3 on fourth. The Rams 'D' is doing what it needs to to keep this game in striking distance. Just 181 yards allowed. Second-half shutout so far. The Rams really need a touchdown drive here, but that would mean going 98 yards.

260

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 8h

Really nice run stop from Josh Wallace through what might have been a hold. He's been stepping up with some nice plays these past two weeks with Jaylen Watson hurt.

260

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 9h

The Rams have been flagged 7 times for 100 yards today. They've lost 65 yards of field possession against the Eagles on penalties alone. Those and turnovers are the difference at the moment.

090

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 9h

The Rams defense finds life by stopping the tush push. They've held in pretty well today, albeit helped by Eagles injuries. Both touchdowns allowed were short fields. The offense has to find the end zone on this short field.

250

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 9h

Penalties are killing the Rams for a second straight week. That's their third just on this possession alone.

090

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 9h

Harrison Mevis missed a 48-yard field goal attempt. Tough drive to not grab points there.

Eagles CB Quinyon Mitchell is questionable to return with a knee injury.

Konata Mumpfield is questionable to return with a shoulder injury.

020

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 10h

Touchdown, Eagles. Nightmare end to the half -- interception, two penalties on Trent McDuffie and Darius Cooper left uncovered in the back of the end zone with 3 seconds left. Eagles 20, Rams 10, 0:03 2Q.

270

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 10h

Just an absolutely brutal interception from Matthew Stafford. He had Tyler Higbee open short along the sidelines and tried to force it to Puka Nacua. Overthrew him into the arms of Cooper DeJean, and now the Eagles have a chance to add to the lead.

030

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 10h

Welcome back, Puka Nacua. He takes a jet sweep and walks in for a 2-yard touchdown. Great call by Sean McVay with the Eagles stuffing the middle runs. Potentially game-saving drive there -- 9 plays, 67 yards. The Rams offense woke up. Eagles 13, Rams 10, 1:55 2Q.

050

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 10h

Matthew Stafford has had a weird game, including a bad pick, but he's thrown some absolute seeds, too. Davante Adams dropped one for a touchdown but Tyler Higbee just reeled one in along the sidelines to set up 1st-and-Goal. A touchdown right before the half here would be *huge*

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 10h

Saquon Barkley is OUT for the rest of the game with a hamstring injury.

150

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 10h

Darius Cooper with an incredible play over Quentin Lake for the touchdown. The punt return just bites the Rams badly, as the defense can't be perfect today. L.A. needs a drive right now. Eagles 13, Rams 3, 5:44 2Q.

090

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 10h

Rams special teams issues are back. A 41-yard punt return by Britain Covey sets the Eagles up in the red zone. Looks like the refs might have missed a block in the back against Jordan Whittington? It was at least close.

230

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 10h

The Rams blitz game is holding them firmly in this at the moment. Good work by Chris Shula to compensate for no Myles Garrett or Aaron Donald. Something he can afford to do with no DeVonta Smith or Dallas Goedert in the route patterns.

060

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 10h

The Rams offense is a little stuck in the mud right now. Coleman Shelton got beat by Moro Ojomo on 3rd-and-1 to slam Kyren Williams down. They got 28 yards on one pass play to Puka Nacua and have 58 yards on the other 17. They could use a turnover from the defense.

070

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 10h

Chris Shula dialed up the double blitz from Quentin Lake and Kam Kinchens on third down and blew up that Eagles pass play before it could begin. Byron Young with the sack. Jake Elliott hits a 56-yard field goal. Eagles 6, Rams 3, 10:56 2Q.

040

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 11h

Harrison Mevis knots this one up from 40 yards out. That was a promising drive after the splash play from Puka Nacua, but another red-zone penalty set it back. Too hard to be behind the chains in this portion of the field. Rams 3, Eagles 3, 2:08 1Q.

040

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 11h

Saquon Barkley has a hamstring injury and is questionable to return. This is one mighty banged-up Eagles offense at the moment. Also down DeVonta Smith, Lane Johnson and Dallas Goedert.

020

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 11h

The Rams defense held after the Matthew Stafford pick. Poona Ford, Byron Young and Kobie Turner combined to blow up the 3rd-and-1 run. This feels like a good time to lean into the run. Eagles 3, Rams 0, 8:38 1Q.

041

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 11h

Poona Ford is shaken up after blowing up that 3rd-and-1 run. He just walked off the field after being down for just a few seconds.

020

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 11h

Matthew Stafford intercepted on the Rams' opening drive. The Rams tried to take a play-action shot on 1st-and-5 and he overthrew Konata Mumpfield.

010

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 11h

The Rams are rolling with Joshua Wallace opposite Trent McDuffie, in place of Jaylen Watson. That's a shift over Emmanuel Forbes Jr. But Wallace was honestly really good last week and should have had two interceptions.

Nate Atkins @nateatkins.bsky.social · 12h

It’s a soggy one here at Lincoln Financial Field. Two banged-up teams that really need a win. Rams-Eagles here 🔜

Sunday for the Rams in Philadelphia feels enormous. A chance to right some wrongs. A chance to heal their souls when it comes to the Eagles. All before the Bills come to town. A look at what must go right — and why this Week 4 game is such a swing point: www.nytimes.com/athletic/765...

Kyren Williams is so versatile that it’s gotten hard not to have him on the field when he’s humming like he was last week. But can the Rams lean into Williams as the hot runner if they need him this badly in the passing game? www.nytimes.com/athletic/764...

Alex Bachman will be the Rams’ punt returner on Sunday against the Eagles, replacing Xavier Smith. Sean McVay said that Kyren Williams is also an option but they don’t want to use their starting running back there if they can avoid it.
