How the Game Went
First Quarter: A Quiet Start
The first quarter was calm. Eagles kicker J. Elliott made a 29-yard field goal to put Philadelphia ahead 3 to 0. Later, Rams kicker H. Mevis answered with a 40-yard field goal. After 15 minutes, the score was 3 to 3.
Second Quarter: The Eagles Take Control
The second quarter was where the Eagles got going. Elliott kicked a long 56-yard field goal. Then Jalen Hurts threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to D. Cooper. That made it 13 to 3 after the extra point.
The Rams did not give up. Puka Nacua ran the ball in from 2 yards out for a touchdown, and it was 13 to 10. That was a nice moment for Nacua in his first game back.
But the Eagles had the last word before halftime. With only nine seconds left, Hurts found Cooper again, this time for 10 yards and a touchdown. Philadelphia went into the break with a 20 to 10 lead.
Third Quarter: No Points
Neither team scored in the third quarter. The Rams kept moving the ball, but they did not finish their drives. The Eagles could not do much on offense at all.
Fourth Quarter: The Rams Come Back
The Rams saved their best football for the end. With about four minutes left, Kyren Williams ran in from 1 yard out. After the extra point, the Rams were behind 20 to 17.
Then, with 1:17 on the clock, Williams scored again on a 7-yard run. The extra point made it 24 to 20, and the Rams led for the first time. The Eagles had no time left to answer, and the game ended there.
Both teams scored 10 or more points in the first half. In the second half, only the Rams scored, and they scored 14.
Rams Player Stats
Matthew Stafford, Quarterback
Stafford threw the ball a lot. He completed 32 of 51 passes for 317 yards. He did not throw a touchdown pass, and he threw 2 interceptions. That is not a perfect day, and his passer rating was only 63.9.
Still, he kept the offense moving. The Rams gained 415 total yards, and Stafford’s arm was a big part of that. He also ran the ball three times for 10 yards, including a long run of 8 yards.
One thing to note: the Rams did not score a single passing touchdown. All three of their touchdowns came on the ground.
Kyren Williams, Running Back
Williams was the hero of the day. He carried the ball 16 times for 80 yards and scored 2 touchdowns. His longest run was 23 yards. Both of his scores came in the fourth quarter, and both helped the Rams win the game.
B. Corum, Running Back
Corum added 5 carries for 14 yards. It is not a big number, but a second runner helped keep the Eagles‘ defense honest.
Puka Nacua, Wide Receiver
Nacua came back from a two-game break and made an impact right away. He scored a touchdown, but not as a receiver. He ran the ball once for 2 yards and found the end zone. That was one of the more fun plays of the game.
As a team, the Rams caught 32 passes for 317 yards. The longest catch went for 32 yards. They also dropped three passes, which is something the coaches will want to fix. For each receiver’s exact catches and yards, you can check the official box score listed below.
H. Mevis, Kicker
Mevis made 1 of 2 field goals. His good kick was from 40 yards. He also made all three extra points. The missed field goal did not hurt the Rams in the end, but it could have made the game much closer.
Rams Defense
The Rams defense had a strong game. They sacked Hurts 4 times and hit him 7 times in total. They also forced 5 three-and-outs and stopped the Eagles on a fourth down 3 times. They blitzed a lot too, 41 times in all.
The Eagles gained only 172 total yards. That is a very low number for an NFL team, and it tells you how well the Rams defense played.
Eagles Player Stats
Jalen Hurts, Quarterback
Hurts had a tough day in the stat sheet. The Eagles as a team completed 12 of 27 passes for 93 yards. That is about 44 percent. Hurts did throw two touchdown passes, and he did not throw an interception.
But he was sacked four times, and he was under pressure a lot. The team lost 25 yards on those sacks. Hurts also had a rough time with throws that missed the target, and he had two throwaways.
D. Cooper, Wide Receiver
Cooper was the best Eagles receiver in this game. He caught both of Hurts’ touchdown passes, one for 18 yards and one for 10 yards. Those two scores gave Philadelphia a 10-point lead before halftime.
With Smith and Goedert out, the Eagles needed someone to step up. Cooper did that, at least in the red zone.
The Eagles Running Game
The Eagles ran the ball 27 times for 104 yards. That is about 3.9 yards each time. Their longest run was 19 yards. They did not score a rushing touchdown.
Saquon Barkley is the main runner for the team. The Eagles were not able to use their running game to control the clock in the second half. When a team falls behind late, it is hard to keep running.
J. Elliott, Kicker
Elliott was perfect. He made both field goals, from 29 yards and 56 yards, and both extra points. The 56-yard kick was the longest field goal of the game. He gave his team 10 of its 20 points.
Eagles Defense
The Eagles defense did something the offense could not. They picked off Stafford twice and broke up 10 passes. They also forced the Rams to settle for one field goal attempt that missed.
But they only had 1 sack, and the Rams still gained over 400 yards. Philadelphia’s defense also had 8 missed tackles. In a one-score game, that kind of thing matters.

Why the Rams Won
Looking at the numbers, there are a few clear reasons.
1. They had the ball more and gained more yards. The Rams ran 77 plays and the Eagles ran only 58. The gap in total yards, 415 to 172, is huge. Usually a team with that kind of edge wins.
2. The pass rush made Hurts uncomfortable. Four sacks and seven hits on the quarterback can ruin an offense. The Eagles’ passing game never found a steady rhythm, and they gained just 93 yards through the air.
3. The Rams finished when it counted. The Rams were not great in the red zone for most of the day, but they scored three rushing touchdowns, and two came in the last four minutes. The final two drives won the game.
4. The Eagles stopped scoring. After halftime, Philadelphia did not score again. Their offense had only 172 yards in the whole game, and the second half was a big part of that problem.
Even so, the Rams were not perfect. Two interceptions and a missed field goal kept the game close. A team with 415 yards should usually win by more than four points.
What the Game Means Next
For the Rams, this win brought them back to 2-2. After this game, they went on to face the Bills and the Cardinals, and they will play the Raiders next. The season is still long, and the team has many games left.
For the Eagles, the loss was a home setback. The offense needs to find more ways to move the ball, especially with some key players hurt. If Smith and Goedert come back soon, that should help.
Final Thoughts
The Rams vs Eagles game on October 4, 2026, was a good example of how a football game can change late. The Eagles led by 10 points at halftime, yet they only gained 172 yards in total. The Rams kept pushing, got the ball into the end zone twice in the last few minutes, and walked away with the win.
