Overview
- Bo Nix led a second-half rally and scored the go-ahead touchdown on a quarterback sneak with 47 seconds left, while Talanoa Hufanga returned a 66-yard interception for a pick-six and made the game-ending interception on Sunday night.
- An apparent Josh Wallace interception was wiped out by a late defensive pass interference flag on Pat Bryant that many analysts, including NBC rules expert Terry McAulay, said was incorrect and that kept Denver’s winning drive alive.
- Los Angeles was whistled for five penalties in the final two minutes, a total tied for the most since 2000, and those calls—plus other late infractions—directly extended the Broncos’ final series.
- Rams coach Sean McVay left his postgame press conference early amid visible frustration, and Los Angeles also lost cornerback Jaylen Watson to a shoulder injury that removed him before halftime and was serious enough for him to be carted off.
- The result moves Denver to 2-1 and drops the Rams to 1-2, hands the Broncos momentum heading into Week 4, and puts league review of the officiating and the Rams’ discipline and injury reports at the top of both teams’ agendas.
