Overview
- Denver logged six sacks of Geno Smith and now has 46 through 10 games, the league’s top total this season.
- J.L. Skinner’s blocked punt set up Lutz’s 32-yard kick late in the third quarter for the game’s final points.
- Bo Nix threw a touchdown to Troy Franklin but also two interceptions as Denver’s offense and special teams struggled with penalties, shanked punts and a missed 59-yarder.
- Las Vegas led early on Ashton Jeanty’s rushing score, got a late interception by Kyu Blu Kelly, then saw Daniel Carlson miss a potential tying 48-yard field goal with 4:26 left.
- Injuries mounted for both sides, the Raiders played without two starting guards after in-game exits, and Denver now carries a seven-game win streak and 10 straight home wins into a Nov. 16 home date against the Chiefs.
