Rams vs. Broncos: Which defense will reign supreme?
The Los Angeles Rams and Denver Broncos have two of the best defenses in the league but who will walk away with a win when they meet in Denver?
Currently, there are two undefeated teams in the NFL. The first is one of Denver Broncos‘ rivals, the Kanas City Chiefs and second is the Los Angeles Rams. The Chiefs walked away with a win, but what will the Rams do? Regardless, the Rams and the Broncos have two of the best defenses in the league and there’s even a little bit of history behind them.
At first, the Broncos looked promising. Now, we’ve started to see the cracks in the team since it’s almost week 6. The one bright spot on the team is their defense anchored by Von Miller. Miller is one of the biggest names in football and a huge presence on defense. Thus far, the offense has been pretty lackluster and once again, the team is relying heavily on their defense to help win games.
As for the Rams, their offense and defense have been spectacular. Last week against the Seahawks was our first look at what could go wrong. Currently, the team needs to improve their run defense as the Seahawks ran all over them.
It might not be a worry in Denver but will be down the road. What makes this game extra special is it will be Aqib Talib’s return to Denver after the team traded him to the Rams.
No matter Denver’s struggles, watching these two defenses play is a treat. With the Broncos hoping to break the Ram’s streak, there’s a lot riding on this game. Maybe it will even be as close as the Rams-Seahawks game from last week.

Prediction
I’d be remiss not to mention how incredible the Rams have been thus far. Even though they had a hiccup last week, they still found a way to win. Denver’s defense is strong, but their offense is ultimately what will cost them the game. Despite the freezing temperatures, the Rams will adapt and take care of business in Denver.
Final Score: Los Angeles 31, Denver 17
