Broncos Ride Six-Game Surge Into TNF as Raiders Reshape Receiving Corps

The matchup pits a 7-2 team built on late comebacks against a 2-6 opponent reworking its passing game after a key trade.

Overview

  • Denver enters at 7-2 after six straight wins, rallying in multiple games and outscoring opponents 86-20 in fourth quarters during the streak.
  • Las Vegas is 2-6 following a 30-29 loss at Jacksonville on a failed two-point try and has traded top receiver Jakobi Meyers to the Jaguars for fourth- and sixth-round picks.
  • With Meyers gone, Tre Tucker steps into a larger role alongside veteran Tyler Lockett and rookies Jack Bech and Dont’e Thornton Jr., while tight end Brock Bowers remains a focal point.
  • The Broncos made no trade-deadline moves, reflecting confidence in the roster as Bo Nix continues a strong campaign with 17 passing touchdowns, six interceptions, and added rushing production.
  • Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II is out with a pectoral issue, elevating Riley Moss, Kris Abrams-Drain, and Jahdae Barron, and the game is Thursday at Empower Field with coverage on Fox Sports, Amazon Prime, and DAZN.
