Denver’s Broncos pulled off a gutsy 30-26 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night, clinching the game with Bo Nix’s keeper from inches outside the goal line with 47 seconds remaining. The victory capped a wild final five minutes that featured a 66‑yard pick‑6 by safety Talanoa Hufanga and a quick response touchdown by the Rams.
Key moments
Hufanga intercepted a Matt Stafford pass in the end zone for a 66‑yard pick‑6 with 4:49 left, giving Denver its first lead at 23-19. After a brief Rams rally that restored a 26-23 lead, Nix drove Denver 65 yards in 10 plays, finishing with a go‑ahead touchdown as he leaped over the pile near the goal line.
Earlier, the Rams had built a 16-0 halftime lead, outgaining the Broncos by more than 200 yards and dominating the first half with 17 first downs to Denver’s five. However, Denver narrowed the gap in the third quarter with a 5‑yard touchdown pass to Pat Bryant and a two‑point conversion to Jaylen Waddle.
Both teams exchanged touchdowns and two‑point conversions in the fourth quarter. Nix threw two touchdown passes and completed two two‑point conversion throws, while Stafford finished 30‑for‑55 for 390 yards, setting a personal record for pass attempts in a half.
Injuries
Los Angeles lost cornerback Jaylen Watson (shoulder) before halftime and saw tight ends injured during the game. Denver was without rookie running back Jonah Coleman, who is on injured reserve with a high‑ankle sprain, and evaluated rookie RB R.J. Harvey for a concussion before clearing him to return.
Looking ahead
The Rams travel to Philadelphia next Sunday, while the Broncos head to San Francisco for their next matchup.
