NFL fans outspoken amid Broncos’ win over Raiders

There was technically an NFL football game on Thursday night featuring the Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders.

The Broncos won the game 10-7, but it was as ugly as it gets. The two teams combined for two touchdowns, three turnovers, 13 three-and-outs, 22 penalties for 161 yards and 14 punts. There was no offense as Denver produced 220 total yards and Las Vegas 188 total yards.

NFL fans took notice and were stunned by both teams’ performances in the matchup as it was a far cry from the fierce AFC West showdown everyone was expecting.

Still, the Broncos pulled off a major league win.

Bo Nix was 16-of-28 for 150 passing yards, one touchdown pass and two interceptions. Running back JK Dobbins had 18 carries for 77 yards and averaged 4.3 yards per carry. Troy Franklin had five catches for 40 yards and a touchdown.

Raiders quarterback Geno Smith was 16-of-26 for 143 passing yards and one interception. He was dismissed six times.

Running back Ashton Jeanty had 60 rushing yards and a touchdown on 19 carries. Tyler Lockett, playing his first game for the Silver-Black, had five catches for 44 yards.

If there was one real bright spot in the game, it was the Raiders’ secondary. Kyu Blu Kelly had two interceptions. These were the first interceptions of his career.

A big blocked punt by the Broncos led to a field goal by Will Lutz.

The first half was a defensive betting fest. There were eight punts, two goals and one turnover between the two teams.

AJ Cole was the first Raiders punter to return two punts inside the 2-yard line since 2011. One of Cole’s punts bounced in front of the goal line and took a sideways path before going out of bounds.

Broncos punter Jeremy Crenshaw had a few questionable hits, but Denver’s defense was able to make a few stops.

The Raiders broke the ice in the first quarter after an errant Crenshaw punt. Smith led Las Vegas on an eight-play, 41-yard drive that ended with a field goal from Jeanty.

Nix and company got the offense going on the third drive of the second quarter. He led Denver on a five-play, 53-yard touchdown drive. Nix found Franklin on a 7-yard touchdown pass.
