The Denver Broncos vs. Los Angeles Rams Sunday Night Football game was loaded with superstars. While the Rams were without Myles Garrett and Puka Nacua, they still had the reigning MVP, Matthew Stafford, and former three-time Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald. Denver, meanwhile, has offseason trade acquisition Jaylen Waddle, the best cornerback in football in Patrick Surtain, and quarterback Bo Nix, who just keeps finding ways to win.
The Broncos did just that with an iconic comeback victory. After going scoreless in the first half, Denver was able to win by a score of 30-26. One unheralded player on Denver's roster is Quinn Meinerz, who isn't talked about a lot because he plays the thankless offensive guard position.
Meinerz just may be the best interior offensive lineman in the NFL, though, and he proved that during Sunday night. The guard was often lined up against Donald in 1v1 situations, and he tended to get the better of the all-time great defensive tackle. A clip even went viral of Meinerz manhandling Donald to the ground.

The Wisconsin-Whitewater product was rewarded for his big game with a message from the league that he will be getting a “random” drug test. When you have a legendary game against one of the most physically gifted players ever, the NFL can't really be blamed for assuming you are on performance enhancing substances.
The Broncos are 2-1 and will take on the San Francisco 49ers in Week 4. The team has been dominant in the second half over the last two seasons, but performing better in the first half will be a priority for the team going forward.
