Bridgewater was overthrowing his receivers, the offensive line couldn't block and the defense couldn't stop Carr and Co. Nothing went right for the Broncos on Sunday - on either side of the ball. While they haven't been perfect this season, that's been a takeaway through six games: Gus Bradley has this defense moving in the right direction. It was impressive how this unit didn't let up even with a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter. The Vegas D limited Denver's chunk plays and leaned on its physicality through all four quarters. The defense finished with five sacks and also forced four turnovers as well. They started off right, as they recorded eight quarterbacks hits and sacked Bridgewater three times in the opening half.
It would be accurate to say this was a good team win, but the defense made sure the Raiders came out victorious. So, what exactly went on in Denver in Week 6? Let's take a deeper look. The box score on Denver's side doesn't look too bad as they had two receivers in Noah Fant and Courtland Sutton who went for 90-plus yards, but this game felt out of their control for the majority of the afternoon.ĭon't look now, but the Raiders are tied atop the AFC West. He completed 35 of 49 passes for 334 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. Teddy Bridgewater left much to be desired on Sunday, although his offensive line did not give him much help. It was the defense that won this one, however. Derek Carr completed 18 of 27 passes for 341 yards and two touchdowns, Kenyan Drake scored two times and then Henry Ruggs III had a big day with 97 yards and a touchdown on three catches.
The Raiders acquired a 17-7 halftime lead and didn't look back. The Raiders were either going to use this moment to come together, or drift apart. This team of course was weathering a storm that had nothing to do with football, as former head coach Jon Gruden resigned from his position on Monday after emails of him using insensitive and inappropriate language were leaked. Coming into this matchup, we weren't sure what Raiders team we were going to get. The Las Vegas Raiders got back on track in Week 6, as they defeated the Denver Broncos 34-24.
