The Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams treated fans to one of the most dramatic finishes of the 2025 NFL season. In a game packed with explosive plays, clutch kicks, and an unforgettable ending, the Eagles stormed back from a 19-point deficit to secure a thrilling 33–26 victory at the buzzer.
The Rams Take Early Control
Philly struck first. Jalen Hurts finished off a steady opening drive with a classic quarterback sneak from the one-yard line. The Eagles looked sharp early, but the Rams didn’t stay quiet for long.
Joshua Karty, the Rams’ rookie kicker, drilled a 51-yard field goal, showing off the leg strength that made him such a highly touted draft pick. A few minutes later, Matthew Stafford connected with Davante Adams for a gorgeous 44-yard touchdown bomb, putting Los Angeles ahead.
By the time the first quarter ended, it was already clear we were in for a back-and-forth battle.
Karty’s Leg Keeps Adding Points
The second quarter was all Rams. They didn’t find the end zone, but Joshua Karty kept cashing in. He hit field goals from 28, 33, and 46 yards — all smooth, all clutch.
The Eagles, meanwhile, couldn’t get much going on offense. Hurts and the passing game looked out of sync, and the ground game stalled against the Rams’ front. At halftime, Los Angeles held a 19–7 lead, and it felt like Philadelphia was in serious trouble.
Hurts Sparks the Comeback
Things got worse before they got better. On the first play of the second half, Stafford found Kyren Williams for a 10-yard touchdown, and suddenly it was 26–7 Rams.
Then, Jalen Hurts flipped the script. First, he dropped a dime to Dallas Goedert for a 33-yard score. After the defense got a stop, Hurts led a long 87-yard march capped by a 9-yard touchdown to A.J. Brown. Just like that, the Eagles were within five.
By the end of the third quarter, the entire energy in the stadium had shifted. The Eagles weren’t just alive — they were surging.
A Finish for the Ages
The fourth quarter was pure drama. Hurts drove the Eagles 91 yards on a marathon possession and found DeVonta Smith for a short touchdown. The two-point try failed, but Philly still grabbed a 27–26 lead.
Los Angeles had one last chance to steal it. With under two minutes left, the Rams lined up for what could have been the game-winning field goal. Instead, disaster struck. The kick was blocked, and big man Jordan Davis scooped it up. What happened next looked like something out of a movie: Davis rumbled 61 yards to the end zone as the clock hit zero.
The Eagles bench exploded, the crowd went wild, and Philadelphia walked away with a win that will be remembered for years.
