From Denver's hero to Keon Coleman's redemption, what stood out in NFL Week 3
NFL columnist Jarrett Bell has covered the league for decades. Here are the moments, players and results that caught his eye in Week 3.
In an exciting Week 3 of the NFL, the Denver Broncos delivered a thrilling comeback victory against the Los Angeles Rams. The game's highlight came from sixth-year safety Talanoa Hufanga, who led the Broncos to their first lead of the match with a crucial 66-yard interception of Matthew Stafford. This interception marked Stafford's 33rd career pick-six, tying him with Brett Favre for the most interceptions returned for a touchdown in NFL history.
Despite Hufanga's triumphant performance, the game remained unpredictable, with the lead changing hands three times in the final five minutes. The Rams had a last-minute opportunity to secure the victory on Denver's 19-yard line, but Hufanga's instincts kicked in, allowing him to disrupt the Rams' play and contribute to the Broncos' win.
Hufanga showcased his growth as a key player for the Broncos, tallying five tackles, one sack, one tackle for loss, two interceptions, and three pass break-ups in the game. The Broncos' victory was a testament to their defense's rhythm and Hufanga's ability to rise to the occasion during crunch time.
