Williams was everywhere, rushing for 80 yards while catching 10 passes for 66 more and scoring the two touchdowns that flipped the afternoon.

Philadelphia somehow went 0-for-12 on third down. The Rams weren’t particularly good themselves at 7-for-16, but when the game reached its defining moments, Los Angeles finally made the plays it had spent much of this young season failing to make.

This wasn’t pretty. It wasn’t clean. It certainly wasn’t comfortable.

But seasons aren’t always saved with masterpieces.

Sometimes they’re saved in the mud.

What it means

The Rams may have just saved their season.

Instead of limping home at 1-3 after another mistake-filled loss, Los Angeles improves to 2-2 by beating an Eagles team it had lost to four consecutive times since 2023.

There are still problems — plenty of them. Stafford’s turnovers and the special-teams breakdowns aren’t disappearing because of one exhilarating quarter.

But the Rams boarded the plane home with something far more valuable than explanations. A win.

Turning point

Philadelphia had third-and-goal from the Rams’ 2 with an opportunity to essentially put the game away.

Instead, Hurts bobbled the third-down snap before the Rams pressured him into an incompletion on fourth down.

Los Angeles took over at its own 2 and traveled 98 yards the other way, with Williams punching in the touchdown that cut the deficit to 20-17.

The Rams went from staring at the edge of the cliff to charging back into the game.

Did you see that?

Welcome back, Puka Nacua.

On his first catch since Week 1, Nacua somehow corralled a juggling 28-yard reception down the right sideline on a gorgeous throw from Stafford.

After missing two games with a hip injury, Nacua needed exactly one catch to remind everyone what the Rams had been missing.
