Las Vegas Raiders vs. Denver Broncos Live Game Updates
LAS VEGAS, Nev.--The Las Vegas Raiders (0-3) take on the Denver Broncos (2-1) here at Allegiant Stadium today.
The Raiders are desperate for a win, and while angry at themselves, they had a great week of practice, and are ready to fight for the first win of the 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:

The Las Vegas Raiders may be the only winless team left in the NFL, but they aren't playing like it against the Denver Broncos.
The Raiders were able to take the lead at the end of the first half with a Daniel Carlson field goal, currently holding the edge in what's been a back and forth game.
Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson has only missed on a single pass in throwing for 149 yards and two touchdowns.
He's been nearly flawless, but he's been let down by the Broncos running game.
Running back Javonte Williams has nine carries for 32 yards, and their other back, Melvin Gordon, lost a fumble that resulted in a Raiders defensive touchdown.
For the Raiders offense, they've found success on the ground with 93 total rushing yards, while Raiders QB Derek Carr has had to take what the defense gives him.
The Raiders haven't made big plays downfield, likely due to the ability of the Broncos secondary.
If they can continue to run the ball well, though, they can continue to put their defense in an advantageous position by not letting the Broncos offense run up time of possession.
