DENVER — The Rams could not recapture their second-half magic in the mile-high city, falling to the Broncos, 17-9.
But as is the case with all exhibition matchups, the final score rarely tells the whole story. With that in mind, here are five takeaways from Preseason Week 3.
1) Ones on defense accomplishing goals
The Rams’ first-team defense looked strong against the Broncos, forcing a pair of three-and-outs to start the game. Middle linebacker Alec Ogletree had said during the week a fast start would be the focus, and the club was able to do just that with Ogletree, defensive tackle Michael Brockers, defensive end Robert Quinn, and defensive tackle Aaron Donald registering tackles for loss in the first two series.
