Kyren Williams plays hero in Rams' stunning comeback vs. Eagles

With just seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, the Los Angeles Rams trailed the Philadelphia Eagles 20-10, and it looked like the preseason Super Bowl favorites would be falling to 1-3 this season.

In those final seven minutes, though, both the Rams offense and defense decided to play their best football of the day. Multiple stops along with two rushing touchdowns from Kyren Williams led Los Angeles to an improbable 24-20 win.

Kyren Williams scored both fourth-quarter touchdowns

Despite having just 39 of his 147 total yards in the fourth quarter, he scored the two most important touchdowns of the game for the Rams.

Williams' first touchdown was a one-yard score that cut the deficit to 20-17 and capped off a 10-play, 98-yard scoring drive. His second one was from seven yards out, and it gave Los Angeles its first lead of the game with just over a minute remaining.

The multi-touchdown game for Williams was his first since the Divisional Round of last season's playoff against the Chicago Bears.

Could this be the win that gets the Rams going?

Los Angeles has looked sluggish for the most part through the first four weeks, but it has come away 2-2 and still has a ton of the season remaining. 

A fourth-quarter comeback such as the one on Sunday for the Rams can be one that turns the season around quickly and helps things get going in the right direction. They'll be put to the test again next week with a "Monday Night Football" matchup against the Buffalo Bills. 

With the schedule becoming much lighter after Buffalo, a win in that game would be massive for the Rams' chances of really heating up and rattling off a potential six or seven consecutive wins.
