The Rams held a 16-point advantage at halftime, but they allowed the Broncos to mount a furious rally and steal the win. Denver scored 30 points in the second half, including the game-winning touchdown by Bo Nix.

Los Angeles had control of the game before sputtering in the fourth quarter. In the process, the team earned an unwanted distinction, as reported by Rams Wire’s Cameron DaSilva.

“The Rams are only the 11th team in NFL history to lose a game where they had at least 480 yards on offense and allowed 260 or fewer yards on defense,” wrote DaSilva on X.

Stafford went 30-of-55 for 390 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions, including a pick-six to Talanoa Hufanga in the final quarter. The reigning MVP was sacked four times.

Davante Adams had seven receptions for 137 yards, while Kyren Williams logged 15 carries for 88 yards.

Los Angeles slowly unraveled as the momentum shifted to Denver. It did not help that the Rams were whistled for pass interference on a pivotal third-and-6 by the Broncos from the 11-yard line after Josh Wallace intercepted Nix’s toss to Pat Bryant.

Quentin Lake rued the crucial call, as reported by the Associated Press’ Arnie Melendrez Stapleton.

“You try to be physical as a DB (defensive back). Sometimes, I think at the end of the day, as you know, the rules are the rules. Can’t be too handsy. It’s unfortunate,” said Lake.

The Rams will visit the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4.
