Las Vegas Raiders at Denver Broncos: 3 things we learned in 2020 Week 17
By Nick Bailey
The Las Vegas Raiders beat the Denver Broncos in Week 17 of the 2020 season, and here are three things we learned in the victory.
The Las Vegas Raiders finished the regular season really the only way they know-how, to give fans a heart attack in a come-from-behind win by the offense after giving up a horrendous defensive play. The Raiders pulled out a narrow victory against the Denver Broncos to finish the regular season with a non-losing record for the first time since the 2016 season, and even though fans were expecting more, that’s some improvement and something to grow upon.
Darren Waller attained the Raiders record for receptions in a season, finishing with nine receptions for 118 yards, and a 28-yard touchdown catch. Maxx Crosby blocked two long field goal attempts, the second to secure the victory.
In the end, there were many ups and downs to this season for the Raiders, but to look at it in a positive light, there were a lot of young players that got meaningful playing time. Also, with the defense setting the team record for most points given up in a season, there is literally nowhere to go but up.
As the regular and Raiders season comes to a close here are three things we learned in week 17.
