The Rams stormed back from a 10-point deficit to beat the Eagles 24-20 in Philadelphia, giving Sean McVay the first win of his career over Nick Sirianni and snapping a storyline that had hung over the NFC matchup. Los Angeles trailed for much of the afternoon before the fourth-quarter surge sealed it at Lincoln Financial Field.
Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo): Another #Rams-#Eagles tight finish in Philly. This time Sean McVay & Co. get it done. One of a few teams that badly needed a win to get one today.
The result carries extra weight for McVay, who had lost all four prior meetings to Sirianni's Eagles — the exact rut this desk previewed before the game. The comeback came with Los Angeles' offense finding life late after a disjointed opening, a much-needed bounce-back for a team that entered on two straight losses. Mike Garafolo noted the tight finish, which marked the latest chapter in a series that keeps coming down to the wire.
The win moves the Rams to 2-2 and eases early concerns around the club, while Philadelphia slides to a disappointing mark in a season already tested by injuries. The Eagles played without a number of key pieces, and the afternoon added to a mounting injury list that has stretched the depth of the roster. For Los Angeles, the rally halts a slide and gives McVay a long-sought milestone.
For Philadelphia, the loss compounds a brutal start defined by attrition. The process of getting healthy and restacking the lineup now carries into the week, with the schedule not letting up anytime soon.
