Los Angeles takes over late
The Los Angeles Rams scored 14 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to beat the Philadelphia Eagles 24-20 at Lincoln Financial Field in Week 4. The comeback brought the Rams to 2-2 and dropped the Eagles to the same record. Philadelphia built a 20-10 halftime lead behind a 17-point second quarter. Neither team scored in the third, leaving Los Angeles with a 10-point deficit entering the final period. The Rams supplied all the scoring from there, while the Eagles went scoreless throughout the second half.
Williams and Nacua lead the offense
Kyren Williams delivered as both a runner and receiver, carrying 16 times for 80 yards and two touchdowns while catching 10 of 13 targets for 67 yards. His 147 yards from scrimmage gave Los Angeles production in both phases. Puka Nacua caught nine of 12 targets for 125 yards and added a rushing touchdown on his lone carry, a 2-yard gain. Tyler Higbee contributed five catches for 67 yards, while Davante Adams finished with four receptions for 32 yards on nine targets. Matthew Stafford completed 32 of 51 passes for 317 yards but threw two interceptions. Williams and Nacua accounted for all three Rams touchdowns on the ground.
Eagles cannot add to halftime lead
Darius Cooper caught both of Philadelphia’s touchdown passes, finishing with three receptions for 33 yards on seven targets. Jalen Hurts completed 12 of 27 passes for 93 yards and two touchdowns, adding 18 rushing yards on five carries. Tank Bigsby carried 14 times for 55 yards. Makai Lemon caught three of six targets for 27 yards. Philadelphia has now lost consecutive games after falling 27-7 at Chicago in Week 3. Los Angeles rebounded from a 30-26 loss at Denver and has won two of its past three.
Fantasy returns favor Rams playmakers
Williams led the game with 36.7 PPR points, combining two rushing scores with double-digit receptions. Nacua followed with 27.7, pairing his 125 receiving yards with a rushing touchdown. Cooper’s two scores pushed him to 18.3 PPR points despite his 33 receiving yards. Higbee produced 11.7 points on six targets. Stafford’s passing yardage did not translate into a strong fantasy finish: he scored 9.7 points, compared with Hurts’ 13.5.
