Eagles Stun Rams With Wild 26-Point Comeback and Blocked FG Finish
Share this article:
The Philadelphia Eagles delivered one of the wildest comebacks in recent memory, rallying from a 26-7 hole to shock the Los Angeles Rams 33-26 in Week 3.
This wasn’t just survival. It was a gut-check statement that screamed resilience and grit.
The first half? Ugly. Just 33 total yards on offense, Jalen Hurts under constant duress without Lane Johnson, and boos raining down from the home crowd. Things only got worse when Jared Verse strip-sacked Hurts, setting up a Rams touchdown to stretch the lead to 26-7.
But then, everything flipped.
A.J. Brown sparked life with a 38-yard catch, Hurts found his rhythm, and suddenly the offense was humming. The defense answered the call, too, led by Jordan Davis. He stuffed a critical fourth-and-one and later blocked a 36-yard field goal to keep Philly alive.
Momentum swung hard, and the Eagles stormed back with 26 unanswered points.
The dagger came late. Trailing 26-20, Hurts hit DeVonta Smith on fourth-and-goal for the go-ahead touchdown, giving Philly a 27-26 lead with under two minutes left.
Still, Matthew Stafford put the Rams in field goal range. With two seconds remaining, kicker Joshua Karty lined up from 44 yards. Then Davis, again, made history—blocking his second field goal of the night. Philly scooped it up and scored as the clock hit zero.
Final: Eagles 33, Rams 26.
This was more than just a Week 3 win. It was proof of character, toughness, and the kind of fight that can define a season.
