James Palmer Exclusive: What MUST the Broncos do to beat the Rams? | Orange & Blue Today

It’s a Wednesday edition of Orange & Blue Today, and Cecil Lammey is joined by NFL Insider James Palmer to preview Broncos vs Rams on Sunday Night Football — a matchup that will test Denver on both sides of the ball. The big storyline is the status of Puka Nacua. If he plays, the Rams passing game becomes even more dangerous. If he doesn’t, Matthew Stafford still has enough weapons and timing‑based concepts to stress Denver’s coverage rules. So what kind of problems does this Rams offense create, and can the Broncos generate enough pressure to rattle Stafford. On offense, Bo Nix faces a Rams secondary built from the former Chiefs defensive back room — a group that thrives on disguise, rotation, and forcing tight‑window throws. How does Nix handle that challenge, and what does Denver need to do schematically to keep him comfortable. And then there’s the backfield. Jonah Coleman stepped up in Week 2 while JK Dobbins dealt with a hamstring issue (later called cramps). Even if Dobbins suits up, are we about to see more Coleman as the Broncos search for stability and explosiveness in the run game. 🔥 In this episode: Whether Puka Nacua plays — and how it changes the matchup How Stafford challenges Denver’s defense How Bo Nix attacks the Rams secondary Why Jonah Coleman may keep expanding his role What the Broncos must fix before Sunday night Drop your thoughts in the comments — what’s the biggest key for Denver to beat the Rams on Sunday Night Football?
