The Las Vegas Raiders made easy work of the Denver Broncos, and here are the defensive grades for the 34-24 road victory inside Mile High.
The Las Vegas Raiders Week 6 victory was not only the jolt the team needed to break away from their two-game losing streak, but it also signified a strong debut for interim head coach Rich Bisaccia. The Raiders went through a tough week heading into the game, and many felt they would come out flat.
Maybe it was a flash in the pan, but the Raiders looked incredible after being completely overmatched the past two weeks. Maybe it also had to do with an opponent in the Denver Broncos (3-3) who has now lost three straight, but either way, the Raiders were a strong combination of defense and offense on Sunday.
Going forward, if the Raiders can get this kind of effort from the defense every week, they will be a tough team to beat. The Philadelphia Eagles are up next, with a quarterback who can be rattled into making mistakes, so it will be interesting to see if the team can bring the same kind of effort in their final game before the bye week.
The focal point in this article will be solely on the defense and I will grade how each defensive position performed on Sunday.
