The Denver Broncos capped their preseason with a bang, defeating the Los Angeles Rams 41-0 on Saturday night. Although the Broncos finished the preseason 1-2, the win against the Rams gives new Broncos head coach Sean Payton his first unofficial win as Denver’s head man.
As always, Twitter (technically, X) has some thoughts to say. Let’s check out some reactions to Saturday night below.
What a play!

A great nigh overall
Not that it counts …
Broncos 41-0 win over Rams Saturday was team's first preseason shutout win since 2016 when Broncos beat Bears 22-0 in preseason opener. And by my search largest margin of victory for Broncos in a preseason game since Aug. 12, 1976 — a 52-7 win over Seattle— Jeff Legwold (@Jeff_Legwold) August 27, 2023
We are talking about practice, man
Want to know what makes great players great? I'm told #broncos CB Patrick Surtain spent a lot of time studying #rams WR Cooper Kupp in preparation for the two joint practices between the two teams. Not a game. Not a game. We're talking about practice.

Cultural change is coming?
The first half has come to an end: Broncos 27, Rams 0.
Denver has forced a pair of turnovers and held the Rams to 51 yards.
325 yards of total offense for the Broncos. That's wild.

Uncle Shay with the rewind
As Shannon Sharpe said, CALL IN THE NATIONAL GUARD. THE BRONCOS ARE KILLING THE RAMS.

Execution!
The Broncos have more points (27) than the Rams have offensive plays (19).
Almost have more points than yards for the Rams, too (48)

Will it be enough for Albert O to make the team?
#Broncos TE Albert Okwuegbunam went wild last night, including this wild one-handed catch.

On to the regular season!
Broncos avoid first winless preseason since their inaugural season of 1960, when they were 0-5. The Broncos finished their first preseason under Sean Payton with a 1-2 record. Both losses were by 1 point. So Broncos had a +39 point differential in preseason. What. Ever. #9sports https://t.co/MMwRGU14XM

The Broncos will now prepare to host the Las Vegas Raiders in their regular-season opener on Sept. 10.
