The Los Angeles Rams overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Philadelphia Eagles 24-20 on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field, with running back Kyren Williams scoring two rushing touchdowns in the final minutes and adding 10 receptions. Quarterback Matthew Stafford led the comeback, and coach Sean McVay said he addressed an incident afterward in which members of his coaching staff exchanged gestures, including an apparent middle finger, with Eagles fans who threw objects toward the coaches’ booth. Separately, a hot microphone caught Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts cursing at a teammate during the game, and Stafford’s wife, Kelly, posted a taunting message toward Eagles fans on social media after the win.
