Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders: 3 Raiders to watch in Week 10
By Nick Bailey
The Las Vegas Raiders are on a two game winning streak and look to extend it to three as they host the Denver Broncos for their first game in Allegiant Stadium.
The Las Vegas Raiders head into Week 10 of the 2020 NFL season with a 5-3 record, one that could easily be 6-2 without shooting themselves in the foot in the Buffalo game. If you asked Raider Nation at the beginning of the season, they’d be ecstatic with that record after one of the toughest schedules in the league, and a win in Arrowhead stadium.
Yet there’s a lot for the Raiders to improve upon, and there’s some specific players that, if they start playing wel,l this team will be very dangerous going forward. The Denver Broncos come into town struggling a bit in first halves, as their past two games against the Los Angeles Chargers and the Atlanta Falcons they fell behind by double digits in the first half before making furious comebacks in both winning only against the Chargers.
The Raiders come into this game as an early favorite, and should win this game, but this defense scares me, it can make the most mediocre quarterback look pretty elite. The game against the Chargers should not have been as close as it was, and it certainly didn’t need to come down to Isaiah Johnson making two incredible plays to end the game.
As we move into another AFC West showdown, here are three players to watch on Sunday against the Broncos.
