As emotional a home opener you’ll ever witness, the Raiders made their fans proud by defeating the Broncos to start the season 1-0. In what is almost certainly the Broncos last visit to the Coliseum, Oakland sent them out with a spanking. The final score 24-16 doesn’t tell the full story and the Raiders were in control from the first drive.
The football story this week was how the Raiders revamped offensive line would handle the dangerous Bronco pass rushers. Von Miller and Bradley Chubb were completely nullified and Carr completed over 84% of his passes for one score—no INTs and no sacks.
