Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders: 3 things to watch in Week 10

Put the Broncos away

A key storyline to the Broncos season, especially in the last few weeks, has been them making furious comebacks in the second half of games. Against the Los Angeles Chargers two weeks ago, they came away with a win, before falling short against the Atlanta Falcons this past weekend on the road.

In Week 10, the Raiders need to put away the Broncos early, and not take their foot off the gas. One of the main complaints in terms of head coach Jon Gruden is that he sometimes allows teams to get back in the game, and against Drew Lock and the Broncos, he cannot afford to let that to happen.

Las Vegas is the better team in this one, and should come away with victory No. 6, but the Broncos have shown they are never out of a game. The Raiders need to come out at home and punch the Broncos in the mouth, harass Lock all game long, and make enough big plays on both sides of the ball to win this one going away.
