The Los Angeles Rams led 16-0 at the halftime break and looked in complete control against the Denver Broncos on Sunday night. That all changed in a back-and-forth second half that culminated in a game-sealing interception in the end zone and a 30-26 win for the Broncos.
Here are four takeaways from a dramatic Sunday night affair.
Key takeaway: Broncos overcome another slow start to beat Rams
The Broncos have now trailed by double digits in the second half in each of their three games this season. For the first time in franchise history, they have now won back-to-back games when doing so and are now a league-best 11-4 since 2025 when trailing at halftime.
For most of the first half, it seemed like offensive coordinator Davis Webb could be ousted from his play-calling duties at any point after struggling to establish any rhythm. After 16 unanswered points and a 23-3 run to begin the second half, he changed that narrative for at least one night.
Even after Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford found wide receiver Konata Mumpfield for a 48-yard TD with 3:38 remaining, the Broncos marched down the field and scored the game-winning score on QB Bo Nix’s one-yard TD run.
