Raiders vs. Broncos Live Game Thread
Henderson, NV--The Las Vegas Raiders still have all of their goals ahead of them, as it pertains to getting to double-digit wins and the NFL players.
To keep those dreams ahead of them, they must beat the Broncos from Denver today, for the second time this season.
Remember the rule of five. If the Las Vegas Raiders win that key statistical battle, the game is over. For those who don't remember it, it has to do with sacks and turnovers. If the Raiders have three sacks and give -up two, that means they are plus one. If they then get four turnovers and give up only one, that means they are plus three. That would give them a plus-four for the day. They want to get to a plus-five ratio every game. Teams that reach the rule of five scenarios win 91 percent of their NFL games on average.

HALFTIME:
It looked like the Las Vegas Raiders were going to go into halftime with a 7-3 lead after outplaying the Denver Broncos for much of the first half.
Two turnovers, a fumble by running back Josh Jacobs and an interception thrown by quarterback Derek Carr, have now turned the game on its head.
The Broncos now have the lead, 13-7, and the Raiders have put themselves in another hole thanks to shooting themselves in the foot once again.
Prior to that, the Raiders offense was able to move the ball effectively against Denver's fourth-ranked scoring defense, with the big highlight being wide receiver Hunter Renfrow's touchdown reception that put the Raiders ahead first.
The Broncos offense, outside of a 40-yard catch by wideout Jerry Jeudy, had been pretty quiet, with QB Drew Lock not making any mistakes but not challenging the Raiders defense much at all.
They won't need to move the ball up and down the field the whole game, though, if the Raiders keep giving them back the ball in opportune positions.
It sets up a second half that's going to show just how much each team wants it more as they're both competing for their playoff lives.
Carr has to avoid the bad throws like the one that was intercepted, as it'll likely fall on him yet again to pull the Raiders back from the brink.
