DENVER (KDVR) — Another week, another Denver Broncos win. The team now sits at 8-2 on the season, which is the joint-best record in the NFL, shared with the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts, with a few teams behind in games able to match.

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.

The Denver Broncos again snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in Thursday's primetime contest against the Las Vegas Raiders, escaping with a 10-7 conquest at Empower Field at Mile High -- their seventh straight win and eighth overall on the year.

Denver (7-2) also owns one of the NFL's best defenses, headlined by pass rushing aces Nik Bonitto and Jonathon Cooper. Bonitto has eight sacks this season, and Cooper has seven. Overall, the Broncos are allowing the third-fewest yards per game this season.
