Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 2hThere's a big chance for the Broncos to get their ground game going -- and if they can, they can play keep-away from the 49ers' explosive, diverse offense, which could give them their best shot at a win and a 3-1 record. My thoughts from the parking lot at Levi's Stadium: 070

Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Montana State called quite possibly the dumbest timeout in the history of football. 231
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 01/10/2026In seven games against teams with Vance Joseph as head coach or defensive coordinator, 49ers tight end George Kittle has 35 catches for 639 yards and 7 touchdowns -- an average of 5 receptions, 91.3 yards and 1 touchdown per game. 3100
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026My longer-length thoughts after the Broncos' Week 3 win:youtube.comHow Bo Nix, Talanoa Hufanga and the Broncos STUNNED the Rams and Pulled Another Rabbit From the HatYouTube video by Andrew Mason 091
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Bo Nix had an ESPN QBR of 43.7 vs. the Rams. That's 21st of 30 eligible QBs this week. It also matches Nix's 43.7 season-long QBR, which places him 27th of 30 eligible QBs. He had a 75.7 QBR vs. Jacksonville and 11.8 at Kansas City. 070
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026A bonkers game, an unlikely win ... my thoughts after the Broncos pulled another rabbit out of the hat in their 30-26 come-from-behind win over the Rams: 0100
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Certainly Sean Payton was due. Especially against the Rams 0170
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Broncos 30, Rams 26 — FINAL Routed in the 1st half, Denver roared back in the 2nd, tying the game by the end of 3Q and taking the lead in the 4th. D cranked up the pressure late. Rams penalties/miscues helped. Hufanga w/ 67-yard pick-6, game-ending INT. Denver is 2-1. Wow. 6601
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/202676,160 is the actual attendance for Rams-Broncos. 473 no-shows. 2150
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026And the Rams strike back. Konata Mumphield WIDE OPEN down the right sideline. Moss slipped and Mumphield had oodles of separation. 48 yards and the Rams lead, 26-23 with 3:38 left. 090
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026TOUCHDOWN. PICK-SIX. Hufanga with the 67-yard INT return. Yes, "six-seven." Rams, for the Broncos lead for the first time tonight. 0351
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Josh Wallace bats the Nix pass down on third-and-1. All the work with Adam Prentice on short yardage in the preseason and the Broncos spread it out in short yardage. Crawshaw with the 55-yard coffin-corner punt after the three-and-out, 4.46 seconds of hang time. 3100
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/202648-yard FG is good. Hufanga's third-down blitz knocks the Rams back, but LA still turns the INT into three points and takes a 19-16 lead. 8:40 left in regulation. 250
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I've been saying for years that when the play clock hits zero, red lights should flash like with the shot clock in basketball. It's an objective factor in the game that the NFL chooses to make subjective. 2478
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I was watching the play clock and the game clock at the south end. The play clock hit zero before the game clock. They were NOT in sync, regardless of what Bill Vinovich claims. That should have been delay of game. 3262
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The Rams came into tonight with a 33-game winning streak in games they led by 15 or more at halftime. Their 16-0 lead at halftime is now gone and the third quarter isn't even over. 1190
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026RJ Harvey is being evaluated for a possible concussion. 031
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026TOUCHDOWN, Nix to Bryant on third and goal. Nix found Bryant in the back right corner of the end zone, capping a drive set up at the 42-yard line following Kolbe Katsis' 28-yard punt return. Broncos go for two and get it on a pass to Waddle, now trail 16-8. 2221
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026RJ Harvey down after taking a hit in the open field. He walks off under his own power. He wanted to stay in, but was guided back to the sideline. 170
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Broncos finally force a three-and-out from the Rams. Kolbe Katsis bobbled the punt, then reeled it in and ripped off a 28-yard return to the left side. Broncos at the LA 42; they pick up 20 yards on the exchange of punts. 0120
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Sean Payton went on about the importance of the first drive after halftime when he chatted with NBC. And then the Broncos went three-and-out. 3.26 seconds of hang time on the punt -- 62 gross, 52 net. 0100
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The Broncos are 5-95-1 all-time when trailing by at least 15 points at halftime. 282
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026As of halftime, the Broncos are averaging 12 points per 60 minutes of play. 180
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The Rams ran more than twice as many plays as the Broncos in the first half -- 46 to 21. All five Rams series had multiple first downs. Meanwhile, the Broncos went three-and-out twice in four possessions. 231
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Wyoming’s marching band formed a horse in motion and it moved a heck of a lot better than the Broncos did in the first half 1292
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The Rams walk into halftime with a 40-yard field goal and a 16-0 lead. Denver has been outscored 40-10 in the first half so far this season. LA has a 273-67 advantage in total yardage and a 17-5 edge in first downs tonight. Broncos being whipped in every possible way. 3240
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Davante Adams has four catches so far tonight, all with Surtain in coverage. 051
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026After a "snap infraction" against Mitchell Fraboni, Jeremy Crawshaw's punt has a hang time of 4.28 seconds. (The punt that was blown dead had 4.43 seconds of hang time.) 47 yards gross, 31 net. 070
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026If the Broncos can generate a TD drive and go into halftime down 13-7, that's a win for them given how this first half has flowed. 3231
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Rams settle for the 35-yard FG after two red-zone penalties knock them back. They lead 13-0. Plays per series so far: Rams 9.3, Broncos 4.8 140
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The Rams have run 32 plays to Denver's 14. Broncos offense has gone three-and-out twice. Every Rams drive has gained at least two first downs and had at least 7 plays. That's how you wear down a defense. 3172
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Three and out. McDuffie with the PBU on a slant to Waddle on third down. 3.51 seconds of hang time for Jeremy Crawshaw; the punt is fair caught. Forty-one yards net and gross. Broncos being out-gained 149 yards to 36. Rams have run 24 plays to Denver's 14. 080
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Rams settle for a FG after a Steve Avila holding penalty prevents them from having first-and-goal. Kyren Williams had 56 yards from scrimmage on the drive, including a 30-yard run. He has 76 yards from scrimmage already tonight. 10-0, Rams. 060
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Broncos getting beaten up front; some sizable holes for Rams RBs early. LA already has 69 rushing yards. 3140
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The Broncos were out-gained 123 yards to 29 in the first quarter. 391
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Wil Lutz misses off the left upright from 43 yards. A 10-yard pass to Sutton got the Broncos moving; the other first downs came on a 2-yard Badie draw and a Rams penalty. But all for naught. 180
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Rams take a 7-0 lead on Stafford's TD pass to Tyler Higbee. LA converted a third-&-7 and a fourth down on the series as they drove 58 yards. Rams working their tight ends, who have been targeted on 8 of 11 Stafford attempts so far. 170
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Rams TE Terrance Ferguson, a Heritage H.S. product, is headed back to the locker room. 160
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Broncos go three-and-out on the first series. Started off with a 2-yard loss when Dobbins was met in the backfield quickly and they couldn't get back on schedule. 4.46 seconds of hang time for Crawshaw; 45 yards net and gross. 290
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Broncos allow a pair of first downs but get the stop. Pressure cranked up on the final two plays of the series, with a Hufanga blitz on the left edge helping force an incompletion and then Bonitto closing it out with a sack. 0120
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Broncos win the toss and defer their option. Rams ball first. 040
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 27/09/2026The Broncos' opponent next week, San Francisco, has seen WR Mike Evans and OL Trent Williams leave their game against the Cardinals via cart. 070
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 25/09/2026The Packers lost Micah Parsons in the second half of their game against the Broncos last December. They lost that game and didn't win again until beating the Jets last Sunday. Barring a comeback tonight, they'll be 1-7 since Parsons went down. 5232
Andrew Mason @masedenver.bsky.social · 24/09/2026This is my 66th baseball game this year. The 49th Rockies game. Made it to 15 different parks at six different levels of the sport in Colorado, Arizona, Nebraska, Wisconsin, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. Time well-spent filling the suitcase of memories. 51593
