Two timely completions from Pro Ducks Bo Nix to Troy Franklin Denver helped Denver win their seventh straight game Thursday night, but it wasn't easy.
Playing last-place Las Vegas in Mile High Stadium the offense creaked and rattled like a 2010 Ford Fusion with two bad pistons, going three and out four times before JK Dobbins scooted around the right side for 13 yards and a first down with six minutes to go in the first half.
Nix hit a deep pass to Pat Bryant for 43 yards down to the Raider 5. A run by RJ Harvey lost two, then one play later the former Duck zipped a pass to Troy Franklin over the middle for seven yards and a touchdown to tie it at 7-7.
