DENVER — Just like that the Raiders trail two teams in their division by two games. That didn’t take long.

It wasn’t a heartbreaking loss – it’s only Week 2 – but Sunday’s 20-19 defeat to the Broncos on Brandon McManus’ late field goal was tough to swallow for the Raiders. Oakland didn’t trail until the final six seconds, and a 12-point third-quarter lead vanished in due time.

After beginning last season 2-0, the Raiders are the opposite through two weeks in Jon Gruden’s first year back.
