Break-down Week 14 (DEN Broncos)

Game-breaker: The DEN Broncos had their way on both sides of the ball as they were led by second-year quarterback Bo Nix who really orchestrated well and brought the ball efficiently down the field. They had multiple more than 8-minute drives which really sucked the wind out of the sails for the Raiders. The Broncos knew they could do whatever they wanted without major resistance.

Tale-teller: This was a slow-fought game that really made it hard to run against them and slow them down because they were taking so much time off the clock. I think if they were more stout on third down defense, the Raiders could've tightened up the game down the stretch. There were missed opportunities especially late when they had a fourth down near the goal line after Geno Smith got hurt and left the game. QB Kenny Pickett missed a throw to Bowers on fourth down which proved to be consequential.

Trend-setter: It is clear that the Raiders need more beef up front on offense and they need more people flying around on defense. Jeanty only had 30 yards and just can't seem to get going this year. One player I will not forget is rookie OL Caleb Rogers who played guard in this game. He played the entire game and didn't give up any pressures! There's more hope now on the offensive line if he can duplicate this performance.
