NFL-best Broncos edge Raiders to win seventh in a row
Bo Nix threw a touchdown pass as the Denver Broncos extended their NFL win streak to seven games by narrowly defeating the Las Vegas Raiders 10-7 on Thursday.
Game Summary
The defensive battle lifted Denver to an NFL-best 8-2 record and strengthened their lead atop the AFC West division over the Los Angeles Chargers, who stand at 6-3. This marks the Broncos' longest win streak since 2015.
Denver's defense was impressive, recording six sacks and one interception. The Broncos improved to a perfect 5-0 at home this season with their 10th consecutive win at Mile High Stadium, joining Indianapolis as the only teams unbeaten at home this year.
"We have a really good defense and they showed up again tonight," Nix said. "We didn't give them the best of fields at times but they still made plays and kept them out of field goal range. They keep winning games for us and getting us the ball back and at some point we have to return the favor."
Key Moments
- Ashton Jeanty scored a four-yard touchdown run 11:58 into the game, putting Las Vegas ahead.
- The Broncos' defense dominated the rest of the match, preventing the Raiders from adding to their score.
Looking Ahead
Following a bye week, the Broncos' next game will be at home on November 16 against division rival Kansas City, currently 5-4.
"We've got a lot of work to do," Nix said. "But we're winning and that's all that matters."
This defensive performance and ongoing winning streak highlight the Broncos' strong position in the NFL this season.
