Things to be aware about

After a stellar performance in Week 11, the Denver Broncos and rookie quarterback Bo Nix are beginning to click.

In the team’s 38-6 victory over the Atlanta Falcons, Nix completed 28 of 33 throws for a season-high 307 yards and four touchdowns. He joined C.J. Stroud as the only rookie quarterback in history to record at least 300 passing yards, four touchdown passes, and a passer rating of 140 or higher in a single game. Nix has passed for 14 touchdowns and just two interceptions in the last eight games.

As the Raiders witnessed in Week 5 against the AFC West foe, Denver’s defense, which has given up the third-fewest points in the league, remains their greatest asset. After allowing the Silver and Black a touchdown on their opening drive, the Broncos kept the Raiders out of the end zone until the fourth quarter while also nabbing three interceptions and three sacks. The Broncos are the only team in the NFL with four players with at least 5.0 sacks, and they lead the league in sacks (39).

History of matches

Since 1960, the Raiders have a 72-54-2 record in their regular season series versus the Broncos.
Last meeting: In Week 5 of this season, the Broncos defeated the team 34–18.

On defense, the Raiders are tied for 13th place in rushing (125.1 ypg), 11th place in throwing (202.7 ypg), and 29th place in points allowed (28.5 ppg).

Watchable milestones

TE To surpass the Raiders’ rookie reception record, Brock Bowers needs three receptions (Amari Cooper, 72).
For Bowers to overtake Amari Cooper (1,070) as the Raiders rookie with the most receiving yards, he needs 365 more.
K. Daniel Carlson must make 13 field goals to reach 200 career field goals. He will join Justin Tucker (237), who is the only kicker in NFL history to make 200+ field goals in his first seven seasons.
DE In order to become one of just three players in Raiders history (since 1982) to reach 60.0 career sacks, Maxx Crosby needs 1.5 sacks.
