Fullbacks forever: If there was a “star in your role” for the Broncos on Sunday, it was Adam Prentice. The fullback straight-up deserved a game ball, too, for his contributions against the Raiders. Payton relied on him heavily in an assortment of run or play-action schemes, and Prentice not only dominated his blocks in clearing lanes for RJ Harvey but also turned four touches into 39 yards.
