The Oakland Raiders experienced a tough loss on the road against the Chicago Bears last Sunday pushing their record to an even 2-2 before taking on their Week 5 contest against the 4-0 Denver Broncos.
Though future Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning hasn’t quite been himself in 2015, this year’s Broncos team has been picking up the slack on defense. According to NFL.com, Denver’s defense is currently ranked No. 1 in total yards allowed (275.5), third-down percentage (25), and total sacks (18).
In their Week 4 performance against the Minnesota Vikings, the Broncos held Adrian Peterson to just 33 yards before he broke off a 48-yard touchdown on 4th and 1.
