Denver rallied from 16 down to beat the Rams 30-26, leaving Los Angeles 1-2. The article criticizes a pass-interference call against Josh Wallace that erased his interception and gave Denver a first down while trailing 26-23 with just over a minute left.
Denver scored 16 unanswered points in the third quarter, with Bo Nix throwing two touchdown passes and converting both two-point attempts. In the fourth, Talanoa Hufanga returned Matthew Stafford’s interception 66 yards for a touchdown to put the Broncos ahead 23-19; Stafford’s 48-yard TD pass to Konata Mumpfield later gave Los Angeles a 26-23 lead.
Stafford finished 30 of 55 for 390 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions; Hufanga made both picks, including the interception of Stafford’s final end-zone throw. A separate hands-to-the-face penalty against Quentin Lake on Evan Engram extended Denver’s final drive. An apparent Nix touchdown was overturned on review before he scored on the next play.
