Preview for Los Angeles Rams @ Denver BroncosTwo teams with Super Bowl aspirations face off in primetime as the Denver Broncos host the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football. Both the Broncos and Rams bounced back from Week 1 defeats with victories last week, the Broncos fighting back to see off the Jacksonville Jaguars while Los Angeles cruised to a win over the New York Giants on Monday Night Football.The Rams have won their last five meetings with the Broncos, their last defeat in this matchup coming in Denver back in 2002 when they were based in St. Louis.But a trip to Empower Field at Mile High figures to offer a stern test of the Rams championship credentials, with the Broncos boasting a ferocious defense extremely capable of disrupting a Los Angeles offense that is again set to be without star receiver Puka Nacua due to a hip/groin issue.Without Nacua, Davante Adams was the star man against the Giants, the veteran exploding for 195 yards and two touchdowns on eight receptions.Adams will draw a tough assignment on Sunday, as he will go up against cornerback Pat Surtain II, the 2024 Defensive Player of the Year.The former Green Bay Packers star is very familiar with Surtain, and caught a walk-off game-winning touchdown in overtime against him while playing against the Broncos for the Las Vegas Raiders in 2022.But Adams is under no illusion as to the task he will face in getting separation against Surtain to make life easier for quarterback Matthew Stafford.They have a lot of guys, said Adams of the Denver defense. Obviously, Pat is probably one of the best defensive backs in the league. Before coming into this year and playing with Trent [McDuffie], I was saying he [Surtain] was the best. Thats my guy and I see him every day, and thats no slight at Pat. Ive had a chance to play against Pat quite a few times now and I love his game, respect it. Hes got some length, speed, and a lot of stuff you cant teach at that position.Weve had some battles in the past. Obviously, the game where we had the walk-off touchdown there. That was a good memory for me. Then came back the next time and I can probably say honestly that he probably played a little bit better of a game in Denver versus me than what I played against him, that opener in 2023. I have a lot of respect for a lot of guys, but hes definitely up there as far as one of the ones I have the most respect for.Denvers defense will hope for more support from an offense that has struggled through the opening two weeks. The Broncos are ranked 27th in Expected Points Added per play, while only 42.2 percent of their offensive plays have been successful, putting them 22nd in the league.But the Broncos scored 17 unanswered points to overturn a 10-point third-quarter deficit against the Jaguars, with that turnaround one that should boost confidence in their attack ahead of a defense featuring three-time Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald following his decision to come out of retirement.Its exciting to play the greats; it always is, Broncos quarterback Bo Nix said of facing Donald. I know hes a really good football player, and hes going to provide a challenge that we havent necessarily faced before. Hes literally one of the best at his position of all time, so you dont play those many Sundays.We just have to limit the time hes dominant.We just have to find ways to finish the drive, score in the red zone, convert on a few more third downs so we can get to the red zone. Its just complete football.Prediction for Los Angeles Rams @ Denver BroncosIt promises to be a fascinating encounter at Mile High, but the Rams edge at quarterback may be the difference here.Prediction: Los Angeles Rams 20 17 Denver BroncosHow to watch Los Angeles Rams @ Denver BroncosThe Los Angeles Rams-Denver Broncos matchup kicks off at 8:20pm ET (5:20pm PT, 1:20am BST).It will be broadcast on NBC and available to stream via Peacock and the NFL + subscription service.The game will be available to stream worldwide (excluding China) via DAZN.What To Do If You Have A Gambling ProblemIf you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call or visit the Council on Compulsive Gambling:Gamblers Anonymous at 855-2-Call GA or www.gamblersanonymous.orgCO, DC, IL, IN, LA, MD, MS, NJ, OH, PA, TN, VA, WV or WY Call 1-800-GAMBLERAZ- Call 1-800-NEXT-STEPIA Call 1-800-BETS-OFFKS, NV Call 1-800-522-4700KY Call 1-800 GAMBLER, 18+MI Call 1-800-270-7117 for confidential helpMA Call 1-800-327-5050NC Call 1-800-662-4357NY- Call 877-8-HOPENY or text HOPENY (467369)DISCLAIMER: The information on this site is for entertainment purposes only.
