The Raiders took advantage of Denver’s five-defensive back look – Von Miller was not on the field – and quaterback Derek Carr found receiver Johnny Holton for a 64-yard, over-the-shoulder touchdown grab making it 10-7.

Del Rio said recovery time is typically two to six weeks.
Del Rio said he called for the fake punt in a bid for a momentum swing because the Broncos (3-1) were dominating the line of scrimmage. “The good news is he’s not gone for the year”. We’ll get him back. A fracture in your back is not a minor injury, even with a 2-6 week timetable. It could be longer, we’ll see.
These longtime division rivals split their two meetings previous year with the home team winning both times.
BRONCOS BACKS: The Broncos have a crowded backfield now that Devontae Booker is back from a broken wrist that sidelined him all of July, August and September. The season could be over by then. Raiders kicker, Giorgio Tavecchio, kicked a 38-yard field goal with 5:23 left in the game.
While the former first-round pick did show flashes of solid play against the Denver Broncos, he still has just a 58.5 percent completion percentage and 76.9 quarterback rating.
In 10 games for the Bills last season, Manuel threw for 1,972 yards with 11 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
The Los Angeles Chargers’ Melvin Gordon, Dallas’ Ezekiel Elliott, Buffalo’s LeSean McCoy and the Raiders’ Marshawn Lynch have been held to a combined 95 yards on 50 attempts, an average of 1.9 yards by the foursome, who have combined for 12 Pro Bowls.
“The poise that he played with, I don’t think the moment was too big for him”, Del Rio said of Manuel.

If the Broncos win the AFC West, a 16-10 win against the hated Raiders could be a big reason why, but it came with exactly zero style points. The Raiders might send more defenders his way. The Raiders looked like a much different team in the playoffs past year after Carr went down with an injury. I thought we did some things to get in position to win the game. Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins torched the Raiders secondary for 365 yards and three touchdowns. KC doesn’t have the easiest go the next three weeks, with matchups against Washington, the Houston Texans and Pittsburgh coming up. Since getting drafted sixth overall in 2011, Jones leads the National Football League with an average of 96 yards receiving in 82 career games.

As embarrassed as the Raiders should be for their performance last week, at least the Redskins look like a good team. If Amari Cooper is still playing with butter on his fingers then we need to get the ball into the hand of a man who can make plays; Which is all Patterson has done since he got to Oaktown. “We struggled. It’s really obvious to everybody who follows us and it’s obvious to me”.
