Quarterback Nix's keeper from inches outside the goal line capped a wild final five minutes that included a 66-yard pick-6 by Denver and a quick touchdown response by Los Angeles. After Nix put the Broncos (2-1) in front by reaching over the scrum with both hands gripping the football, Matthew Stafford, whose 17 comebacks in the last 2 minutes are the most by any active quarterback, drove the Rams to the Denver 14, where he spiked the ball with 2 seconds left. A false start moved the ball back to the 19, the Rams (1-2) sent out five receivers but safety Talanoa Hufanga secured his second interception of the night - this one in the end zone - to seal the win for the home side. - Latest NFL fixtures, results and UK kick-off times - The biggest storylines of the 2026 NFL season - Get latest Sky Sports deals or stream with no contract The Rams dominated Denver before halftime, outgaining the Broncos by more than 200 yards in the first half while piling up 17 first downs to five, outrushing them 87 yards to 21 and besting them 186 yards to 46 through the air. But it was only 16-0 at halftime because the Rams kept stalling and settling for field goals after Stafford hit tight end Tyler Higbee with a 5-yard touchdown throw on the Rams' second possession. The Broncos went three-and-out to start the second half but finally revved up their sputtering offense and cut their deficit in half on Nix's 5-yard strike to Bryant and 2-point conversion pass to Jaylen Waddle on a throw between the hands of Wallace midway through the third quarter. The Broncos tied it on another touchdown and 2-pointer. Nate Adkins caught an 8-yard throw from Nix, who found Bryant again to tie the game heading into the final period. Talanoa Hufanga's 66-yard pick-6 with 4:49 left in the game gave Denver its first lead at 23-19. Hufanga jumped in front of running back Kyren Williams, cradled Stafford's pass and weaved his way down the field and into the end zone. Just four plays later, however, Stafford hit Konata Mumpfield from 48 yards out when cornerback Riley Moss fell down, restoring the Rams' lead at 26-23. Nix drove Denver 65 yards in 10 plays with the aid of three defensive penalties and, with the ball nearly touching the goal line, leapt over the pile for the go-ahead TD. Nix had completions of 39 and 21 yards on that drive, finishing the evening with 17 completions for 186 yards and two touchdowns to accompany a first-half interception. Stafford, on the other hand, finished 30 for 55 for 390 yards. He threw 32 passes in the first half, the most of his career. With Puka Nacua out again with a hip injury, Davante Adams had seven receptions for 137 yards, giving him 15 catches for 332 yards over his last two games, the best such stretch of his career.
