What happened: Dan Orlovsky said the better team lost and expressed no long-term concern about Los Angeles. Los Angeles opened a 10-0 lead Sunday night before falling 30-26 in Denver.
Why it matters: The 1-2 start tightens the early margin in the NFC race. A second Stafford interception sealed the rally and put late-game execution under scrutiny.
By the numbers: Los Angeles led 10-0 before the 30-26 defeat to fall to 1-2. Los Angeles drew five flags in the final two minutes, tied for most by any team since 2000. Mevis scored a game-high 14 points.
What to watch: Los Angeles turns to Week 4 needing cleaner closing minutes to steady the start.
