The one thing that Las Vegas Raiders fans had, other than some rollicking tailgates and fondness for face paint, was that as bad as they were, they owned the Denver Broncos. Heading into this season, the Raiders had beaten the Broncos eight straight times and 10 out of their last 11 meetings.
But that is no longer the case. The Broncos completed the season sweep of the Raiders on Sunday with a 29-19 win that featured a combined nine field goals by both teams. It may seem kind of cruel, timing-wise, with Gardner Minshew II nursing a broken collarbone and set to miss the rest of the season, but the disparity in the two teams’ quarterbacks was the biggest reason the Raiders lost Sunday.
