The Las Vegas Raiders are welcoming a familiar foe in the Denver Broncos this week. A team that the Raiders were able to defeat earlier this season.

The narrative surrounding the Raiders is much different than when the team defeated the Broncos in Week 6 to improve to 4-2. What the Raiders have become, and also lost is certainly a story in itself — but whatever the case, the Silver and Black must continue to fight and try to salvage their once-promising season.

With the up-and-down play of the AFC conference as a whole, with a record of 7-7, somehow and in some way the Raiders are still hanging by a thread to capture a wild card position. This seems to be the story nearly every year near the end of the season, but there is indeed still hope in this bizarre Raider season.

For the Raiders to march towards a difficult playoff berth, I will take a look at three Denver Broncos the Raiders must worry about if they want to taste victory in a much-needed win this week.
