The matchup that settles it: Denver’s third downs

Twenty-six per cent across two games, three touchdowns in total and a red-zone rate under 43% is not a platform for beating anybody.

The Rams have solved the opposite problem. Stafford threw four touchdowns against the Giants and Los Angeles are running at 5.0 a carry.

Denver do defend the pass well, holding opponents to a 74.5 rating, and altitude has historically been worth more than the numbers suggest.

Players to watch

  • Matthew Stafford (LA, QB): Four touchdown passes and 327 yards against the Giants.
  • Davante Adams (LA, WR): Eight catches for 195 yards and two scores in Week 2.
  • Bo Nix (DEN, QB): 288 passing yards against Jacksonville at a 97.2 rating.
  • Jaylen Waddle (DEN, WR): Eight catches for 138 yards in Week 2.
