The Las Vegas Raiders can pick up a key divisional victory over the Denver Broncos in Week 4. Here are the X-factors for Sunday’s matchup.

The Las Vegas Raiders must remind themselves that the NFL season is a marathon and not a sprint. They sit at 0-3 and at the bottom of the AFC West, but all they can do going forward is take it week-by-week. Notching not only their first win of the season, but doing so by way of a divisional victory over the Broncos, can prove to be an impactful first step to getting the season back on track.

The secret formula to getting their first win really isn’t so secret: the Raiders have to play a complete game on both sides of the ball from start to finish. That means keeping your best players on offensive involved and capitalizing when opportunities come your way on defense.

Las Vegas should have both the talent advantage and the play-calling advantage (theoretically) in this one, but the Raiders must execute on a number of assignments to add to the win column. These are the X-factors for the Raiders to beat the Broncos in Week 4.
