What carries into this matchup

My read from last week
Denver started badly and Bo Nix made mistakes, but the defense made plays and the offense found enough late. It looked like the Broncos team we know.
Matchup analysis
The Rams supplied the missing Monday evidence with 481 yards and eight yards per play in a 28–6 win over New York. Matthew Stafford threw four touchdowns, while Kyren Williams and Blake Corum combined for 164 rushing yards. Denver’s late Week 2 response still matters, but this matchup now asks whether the Broncos can disrupt an offense that created explosive gains both through the air and on the ground.
