Broncos rally from 16-point deficit to beat Rams 30-26

The Denver Broncos rallied from a 16-0 halftime deficit to beat the Los Angeles Rams 30-26 on Sunday night, according to a postgame account, improving to 2-1 while dropping the Rams to 1-2. Denver scored all 30 of its points in the second half, and safety Talanoa Hufanga intercepted Matthew Stafford on Los Angeles’ final possession to seal the reported result. Denver’s offense had been held scoreless in the first half as the Rams built a 16-point lead. The Broncos’ comeback gathered pace in the third quarter, when quarterback Bo Nix threw two touchdown passes and Denver converted both two-point attempts. A live account said those plays tied the game at 16-16 with 2:15 remaining in the quarter. The postgame account said Nix later scored the winning touchdown on a one-yard quarterback sneak. Denver’s final drive continued after two defensive penalties against Los Angeles: pass interference on cornerback Josh Wallace and illegal hands to the face on safety Quentin Lake. The account said those calls extended the drive before Nix’s score. The Rams had one last opportunity from Denver’s 19-yard line.
