Scoring Plays
10 scores Week 3: Rams Visit Broncos on Sunday Night With Aaron Donald Back and Puka Nacua Questionable
Read the full recap →The Los Angeles Rams visit the Denver Broncos on Sunday night, September 27. Los Angeles is 1-1 after a 28-6 win over the Giants in which Matthew Stafford threw four touchdown passes, Davante Adams had 195 yards and Aaron Donald played his first game in 981 days; Puka Nacua missed the game with groin soreness and Myles Garrett is on injured reserve. Denver is 1-1 after a 20-13 win over Jacksonville in which Bo Nix threw for 288 yards and the Broncos scored the last 14 points; Marvin Mims Jr. was out with a foot injury. Wednesday update: Denver's J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey were limited with hamstring injuries and Jonah Coleman did not practice with a sprained ankle; the Rams say Nacua's groin is not a long-term concern but his status is undetermined.
Donald's second game
One game back after 981 days; the Rams' pass rush without Garrett needs him against Nix.
Nacua's groin
Adams had 195 yards without him; a second week out would leave Stafford with Adams and Terrance Ferguson.
Denver's altitude and Sunday night
The Broncos outgained Jacksonville 392 to 268 after gaining 218 in Kansas City.
Pregame AI Prediction
How the prediction did
Predicted 24-21 (Rams vs Broncos), final was 26-30. Miss. Los Angeles led 16-0 at halftime and outgained Denver 482 to 257, but Matthew Stafford threw two interceptions among 55 attempts and the Broncos scored 30 points after the break, the last on a Bo Nix 1-yard run. The model said a Denver win at home would not be an upset, and the pick was Low confidence for that reason.
Rams Broncos Stafford's offense against a Denver defense that gave up 288 passing yards
Four touchdowns against New York and an offense that gained 481 yards.
Denver at home is a real problem
The Broncos beat Jacksonville with a 14-0 fourth quarter and have Jaylen Waddle producing; Mile High on a Sunday night is why this is Low.
The Rams' health
Nacua questionable, Garrett out, Donald on a snap count; the roster is not the one the model projected in August.
A Low-confidence road lean. Denver winning at home would not be an upset by any reasonable measure.
