The Broncos came up short against the Tennessee Titans this past Sunday, falling 17-10. No one had a standout game offensively for Denver, but Wilson led the way with a 66-yard touchdown pass to undrafted rookie Jalen Virgil. The Broncos' defense held standout Tennessee running back Derrick Henry to only 53 yards on 19 carries, and continues to be the only real bright spot for Denver in 2022.
The Broncos enter Week 11 leading the NFL in scoring defense, allowing only 16.6 points per game on average. On the flip side, the Broncos rank last in the league in points scored per game (14.6). If those stats hold for the remainder of the season, the Broncos will join the 1946 Pittsburgh Steelers as the only teams in NFL history to lead the league in scoring defense and rank last in scoring offense. One matchup worth watching in this game that lacks any real playoff implications is Raiders All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams versus Broncos likely All-Pro cornerback Patrick Surtain II.
What you need to know about the RaidersMeanwhile, Las Vegas lost 25-20 to the Indianapolis Colts this past Sunday. Las Vegas' loss shouldn't obscure the performances of WR Davante Adams, who caught nine passes for one TD and 126 yards, and Carr, who passed for 248 yards and two TDs and 248 yards on 38 attempts. Carr ended up with a quarterback rating of 99.5.
The Raiders have been one of the more disappointing teams in the NFL this season, and their loss to the Jeff Saturday-led Indianapolis Colts served as a microcosm of how things have gone in Josh McDaniels' first year as the team's head coach. The talent is there -- Adams remains one of the league's premier offensive players, running back Josh Jacobs is likely headed to the Pro Bowl, and Maxx Crosby is an elite edge rusher -- but the wins haven't come. The Raiders played arguably their best game of the season when they beat the Broncos 32-23 in Week 4, and will be looking to replicate that performance on Sunday.
