Broncos coach Sean Payton praised his team's resilience after Denver rallied from a 16-0 first-half deficit to defeat the Los Angeles Rams 30-26 in overtime at Empower Field at Mile High. The win improved Denver to 2-1 and 2-0 in one-score games this season. Quarterback Bo Nix recorded his 10th fourth-quarter comeback victory since the start of 2024, the most in the NFL over that span.

However, Payton emphasized that such comebacks cannot become a habit, citing the team's poor first-half performance with just 67 net yards of offense compared to the Rams' 273. "I'm comfortable with the grit of a team that can play well in the fourth quarter," Payton said, "but I'm uncomfortable with how we play at the start of games.".
