In-form Denver Broncos hold on to pip Las Vegas Raiders in NFL

The Denver Broncos maintained their best record in the NFL with a narrow 10-7 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.

In a tight game, only three points were scored in the entire second half, but it was vital that Wil Lutz kicked a 32-yard field goal to send the Broncos to an 8-2 record.

They had more penalties than first downs in the stop-start game at Mile High Stadium but remained top of the AFC West after a seventh straight win.

Coach Sean Payton said his team can improve its style while continuing to win games.

“We need to clean up some of the sentences. We need to clean up the execution, and it’s an ongoing thing that will probably never end,” he said.
