Raiders, Denver Broncos and Thursday Night Football
Digest more
The Broncos and Raiders are at opposite ends of the AFC West. Denver extended it's lead in the division with a win on "Thursday Night Football".
Brock Bowers and the Las Vegas Raiders are in action on Thursday night against the Denver Broncos. Bowers marked another career milestone — one that involves Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce. The Raiders are looking to put an end to the Broncos' six-game winning streak.
On a windy night in Denver, Las Vegas had an opportunity to tie the score in the fourth quarter. But former Auburn standout Daniel Carlson’s 48-yard field-goal attempt slipped past the right upright on the outside with 4:26 remaining, and the Broncos ran out the remaining time on a 10-7 victory.

Broncos’ defense shines in 10-7 squeaker over Raiders despite offensive and special teams struggles
Denver's defense bailed out the Broncos in a 10-7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday night. The Broncos sacked Geno Smith six times to make up for their spotty performances on offense and special teams.
The Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos put on a nearly unwatchable game in prime time. And Denver was slightly less hideous.
However, by virtue of the victory, the Broncos have now won seven in a row and sit at 8-2 on the season for the first time since 2015. That's an encouraging harbinger, despite the team's ugly showing in primetime.
The Sporting Tribune's Will Despart writes that the Raiders' rebuild may be expedited by some of the horrific bad breaks the team has suffered this season.
The Las Vegas Raiders have shared some brutal offensive injury news after their latest loss to the Denver Broncos.
In perhaps the ugliest game of the 2025 NFL season, the Broncos defeated the Raiders 10–7 to kick off Week 10 on Thursday Night Football. Denver and Las Vegas combined for more penalties (22) than first downs (20), and the game’s leading receiver was veteran Tyler Lockett, who had five catches for 44 yards.
The Broncos began the third-quarter possession at the Las Vegas 33-yard line after an interception and big return by linebacker Dondrea Tillman. The Denver offense had already punted five times and ended another drive with an interception, but now they were in prime position to grab the lead.
But despite the win-loss records, Broncos Country seemingly has kept its hatred of its American Football Conference rival. Both Denver and Las Vegas are original members of the American Football League.
