Players to watch
– Bo Nix (DEN): Denver’s passing attack has lacked rhythm, a reflection of Nix’s 419 passing yards and two touchdowns through two games. Facing a Los Angeles pass rush that has recorded 10 sacks and a stingy 16.5 points-against average, Nix will need quick decisions and clean pockets to move the offense on Sunday night.
– Davante Adams (LAR): Adams was the focal point of the Rams’ Week 2 aerial display, hauling in 8 catches for 195 yards and both of Matthew Stafford’s first-half touchdowns vs. New York. Los Angeles’ passing unit is averaging 243 yards and four passing TDs through two games, and with Denver allowing 22.0 points per game despite forcing two interceptions, Adams should see opportunities to stretch the field.
– Kyren Williams (LAR): Denver’s run defense has been vulnerable early (157.5 rush yards allowed per game, three rushing TDs), and Williams exploited that in Week 2 with 12 carries for 85 yards plus two catches for 12 yards and a score. Williams remains a short-yardage and goal-line focal point in a Rams attack averaging 142.5 rushing yards per game.
– J.K. Dobbins (DEN): Dobbins leads Denver with 72 yards on 18 carries through two games and has been cleared to play after an injury scare versus Jacksonville; RJ Harvey is also available. Rookie Jonah Coleman — who filled in and scored in Week 2 — is out with an ankle injury, which could leave Harvey as the primary backup behind Dobbins.
