Defensive Lineman Denico Autry
Within the first three minutes of the game, it was clear the Oakland Raiders clash with the Denver Broncos would be a good one. It didn't take long for the Silver and Black to get rolling offensively, but the tale of the tape was the team's defense. The Raiders didn't allow the Broncos to score in the first half, and limited them to 219 yards of total offense by game's end.
Part of the reason the defense was successful was due to the pass rush, as linebacker Bruce Irvin, defensive lineman Denico Autry, and defensive end Khalil Mack combined for five sacks. The Raiders were also able to come away with their first interception of the season, courtesy of linebacker NaVorro Bowman.
Collectively, the team pieced together a strong performance of complementary football, and saw big contributions from all three phases. With that being said, let's take a look at all the highlights from the Raiders 21-14 win.
