Los Angeles’ opening possession ended in a punt after Nik Bonitto sacked Matthew Stafford on third down. On the Rams’ next series, Davante Adams caught a 22-yard pass and the team converted fourth-and-5 when Stafford found Kyren Williams.
Denver’s first possession ended in a three-and-out. On its next, a pass-interference call on an incomplete pass intended for Troy Franklin moved the Broncos to the Rams’ 29; Bo Nix’s end-zone pass was nearly intercepted before a third-down incompletion sent out the field-goal unit.
