Broncos Look to Solidify Playoff Hopes Against Struggling Raiders
Denver aims to break its winless streak in Las Vegas while Las Vegas copes with injuries and a six-game losing skid.
- The Denver Broncos (6-5) are vying for a playoff spot and could move two games above .500 for the first time since 2021 with a win over the Las Vegas Raiders (2-8).
- Rookie quarterback Bo Nix has been a standout for the Broncos, earning multiple accolades, including AFC Player of the Week, after a dominant performance against Atlanta.
- The Raiders are dealing with significant injuries, potentially missing key players at running back and cornerback, further complicating their six-game losing streak.
- Tight end Brock Bowers remains a bright spot for the Raiders, boasting one of the best rookie seasons ever at his position with 70 receptions and 706 yards so far.
- Denver's defense, ranked third overall, has been a key factor in their success, allowing fewer than 20 points in seven games this season.
