Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was filmed spitting in the Broncos' tunnel following the Rams' 30-26 loss to the Denver Broncos on September 28, 2026. The incident occurred after a game that included a controversial pass interference penalty against Rams cornerback Josh Wallace, which negated an interception that could have secured a victory for Los Angeles. The video of Stafford's action, shared by Bleacher Report’s James Palmer, has garnered over 270,000 views within 15 hours. Speculation arose on social media regarding the target of Stafford's spit, with some suggesting it was directed at the Broncos’ '5280' sign, representing Denver's elevation. However, the video does not confirm where the spit landed. Stafford's performance included 390 passing yards and two touchdowns, but he also threw two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown by the Broncos. The Rams, who were anticipated to be Super Bowl contenders this season, now hold a record of 1-2 and will face the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles in their next game.
