The Raiders defense forces five turnovers and run game dominates in 37-12 win against the Broncos at home.  Raiders improve to 6-3 with Chiefs up next.

Coming into this game, the Las Vegas Raiders had forced five total turnovers, with three of them being interceptions.  In this game alone, the Raiders forced five turnovers with four interceptions, two by Jeff Heath, one by defensive lineman Carl Nassib, and an amazing one-handed game clincher by Nick Kwiatkoski, and they also had a forced fumble.

The defense had their best effort of the season and held the Broncos offense out of the end zone until the fourth quarter, when Drew Lock threw a touchdown to Daesean Hamilton on fourth down.

The running game was also dominated the Broncos defense piling up over 200 yards and all four touchdowns.  Derek Carr played extremely well as usual this season as he made plays when needed, extended plays with his feet, and should’ve had two touchdowns if not for drops by Nelson Agholor and Darren Waller.

The Kansas City Chiefs come to town next week with thoughts of revenge on their mind as the Raiders are still the only team to have beaten them so far this season.  They are also coming off their bye week, which seems like a yearly thing, so the Raiders don’t have much time to celebrate this win before focusing on the next.
