The Denver Broncos beat the Las Vegas Raiders, 29-19, on the road to move to 7-5 on the season. Here were the best highlights from the game.
The Denver Broncos seemingly struggled on Sunday to beat the Las Vegas Raiders, but still pulled out a double-digit 29-19 win over their AFC West rival. That kind of win is exactly what good teams do when they have a bad day against a lesser team. Denver currently has a strong hold on the AFC’s seventh seed heading into the final month of the season.
For this game against the Raiders, we have the top five moments that secured the win or, in the case of Bo Nix’s intensity, some eye movement.

Not all games come easy and this win might be one of Denver’s most impressive of the season. This is absolutely a game they would have lost 10 out of 10 times from 2017-2023, so for them to not only come out on top on the road but also win by two scores was impressive as heck.
The Broncos are on the rise. Let’s enjoy the ride.
