Yes, the Patriots are that good. Driving them downfield for a go-ahead field goal or touchdown against the Denver Broncos. And, no, Robert Griffin III has not turned the corner in his second season under Jay Gruden. Miller got to Carr and simply took the ball away from the second-year QB. “That was as good as we’ve played on defense”. The Raiders overall performed like a team that had prepared well and thought it would win – a departure from the last three seasons of games against Denver. Did we really fall for another Rex Ryan guarantee?

Three games into the season, Cooper and Murray had a great deal to do with a developing Raiders offense, Cooper a rookie and the fourth pick of the draft, and Murray a third-year talent who seized the starting position with a strong training camp.
The game was at home, and Paul Brown Stadium was raucous.
A few day, at a few point, maybe decades or centuries from now, Woodson won’t be around as the last best line of Raiders defense.
If the Rams win, you can bet that their pass rush will have played a significant role. All the while, shrines are being constructed in honor of the undefeated New England Patriots and quarterback Tom Brady (121 rating, 11-0 TD-INT). The role of spoiler this time was played by an explosive Justin Tuck, who batted down Manning’s pass seven yards from the end zone on third down.
“You become battle-hardened”, Del Rio said.
This team looks like a mid-2000’s Pittsburgh Steelers or Baltimore Ravens team.
Kudos to the Carolina Panthers. “We had hopes it would be better”. With a week off to work on what needs working on and the Chargers coming off a Monday night game and then a tough game against Green Bay, you know the Raiders will be up to showing up and competing against San Diego. Despite the offensive issues, he’s pleased with where the Broncos stand and what they’ve accomplished. The Broncos overcame another poor start by Peyton Manning and still managed to win.
The Broncos’ defense held the Raiders to 288 yards and one touchdown. Quinn could be 9-0 by the time he has to plan for Andrew Luck and Indianapolis.
As stated above, the Bengals are for real – as are Seattle’s root concerns. Right now the Broncos rank 30th with 71.6 run yards per game. Let’s investigate, shall we? Both came courtesy of 39-year-old Charles Woodson, who picked him off in the end zone just before halftime and again in the third quarter.
It wasn’t a slant pass on second-and-goal in the Super Bowl, but it was game and clock management. He’s also defeated Kansas City 10 straight times.
At least the sometimes miserable Denver Broncos’ running game has company.
The Raiders have played four straight nail biters, with a. 500 record in those contests. The win will come.
Edwards had six tackles and shared a sack of Peyton Manning with Aldon Smith. Derek Carr passed for 249 yards, and Crabtree led the team with 4 catches for 54 yards. It was 8.3 per attempt when the Broncos scored 606 points in 2013. “Roy stepped in, and Marcel, and we mixed in different personnel”.
“He’s had many great games and today wasn’t one”, coach Jack Del Rio said. He has 17 interceptions in his last 14 games.

It is plainly, painfully obvious that Manning no longer possesses the necessary arm strength to play National Football League quarterback. Usually quarterbacks take their offensive line to dinner, Peyton Manning ought to take the defense out.
