The Broncos rode an opportunistic defense and some fourth-quarter magic from quarterback Bo Nix to an impressive second-half comeback against the Los Angeles Rams in a Sunday night classic in the Mile High City. asserted

Broncos → ride → City

Stafford → put → win

Denver's defense would rise to the occasion with a pick to seal it, just as they had done earlier in the quarter when they returned a Stafford interception for a touchdown to give the Broncos their first lead of the game. asserted

Nix was shaky for much of the first half, but, to his credit, he was able to shake off whatever rust seemed to be present after halftime, accounting for three touchdowns in the final two frames. asserted

For the Rams, they find themselves at 1-2 after this second-half collapse and staring up at their rivals, San Francisco, who sit atop the NFC West at 3-0. asserted

It's early, but LA can ill afford to fall behind any further, as the margin for error continues to shrink as the season matures. asserted

With the Chiefs seemingly picking up where they left off after an uncharacteristically down 2025 and the upstart Las Vegas Raiders racing out to a 3-0 start, Denver needed this one to go their way. asserted
