Broncos 20, Raiders 19: Takeaways from a bad Raiders loss

DENVER — Now that right there will be a tough one to swallow.

The Raiders didn’t trail for 59 minutes and 55 seconds yet still lost.

Gareon Conley and Leon Hall whiffed on two tackles inside 20 seconds left, allowing the Broncos to enter field goal range before Brandon McManus hit a 36-yard game-winner.

The Raiders fall to 0-2 after Sunday’s 20-19 loss, while their division rival Broncos move to 2-0.

Here are a couple quick takeaways from the game.
