Broncos’ prime-time game in Week 3 just got more difficult
The Denver Broncos will face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season, and that matchup is even tougher now.
The Los Angeles Rams have bolstered their roster by re-signing defensive superstar Aaron Donald, a future Pro Football Hall of Famer. Donald, a first-round pick in 2014, amassed 111 sacks during his time with the team, making him one of the most dominant defensive linemen in NFL history. The news of his return sent shockwaves through the league, as the Rams, already regarded as one of the top favorites for the upcoming Super Bowl, now boast two of the greatest defensive talents in NFL history.
This development poses a significant challenge for the Denver Broncos, who are set to face the Rams in Week 3 on Sunday Night Football. The matchup, already challenging to begin with, has become even more formidable with Donald back on the Rams' roster. Broncos quarterback Bo Nix will need to devise a strategy that emphasizes the run game to avoid being overwhelmed by the formidable duo of Donald and Myles Garrett, who recently set the single-season sacks record.
Former Broncos tight end Shannon Sharpe offered advice, suggesting that running the ball effectively against the Rams will be crucial to prevent the defense from pressuring the quarterback.
