Trevor Siemian will start Sunday when the Broncos host the Raiders in their regular-season finale. But both he and rookie Paxton Lynch are expected to get playing time.
The Broncos (8-7) head into their final game with nothing to gain, but the Raiders (12-3), playing without veteran quarterback Derek Carr (broken leg), have plenty on the line. A win or tie in Denver secures the AFC West title and a first-round bye in the playoffs for Oakland. Which, of course, raises the risk in playing a rookie with only two and a half games experience.
