The Denver Broncos snapped an eight-game losing streak against the Las Vegas Raiders with a commanding 34-18 victory. After the Raiders jumped out to a 10-0 lead behind Gardner Minshew's early connections, including a 57-yard touchdown to rookie Brock Bowers, Denver's defense responded. The turning point came with Pat Surtain II's remarkable 100-yard interception return that tied the game and swung momentum to the Broncos, illustrating Surtain's value following his lucrative contract extension.
Quarterback Bo Nix showcased his developing skill set, distributing the ball to a franchise-record 11 different receivers. His performance included two passing touchdowns and a rushing score, cementing Denver's control in the second half. The Raiders, missing star receiver Davante Adams, struggled to regain footing, ultimately switching quarterbacks from Minshew to Aidan O’Connell. Despite a late rally from Las Vegas, Denver's suffocating defense and strategic offensive execution defined the second half, as the Broncos finally overcame their recent struggles against their division rivals.
