Mack, Carr Lead Raiders Over Broncos 15-12
Denver quarterback Brock Osweiler lost for the first time in four starts in place of the injured Peyton Manning, who watched the game from the sideline.
“We dedicated this win to Coach Del Rio”, defensive lineman Mario Edwards Jr. said. That’s typically the case when a popular National Football League favorite falls.
Because of the shoulder injury Condo, Oakland’s long snapper, suffered at the bottom of the pile on the Sanders punt, the Raiders eschewed kicking the extra point that would have given them a four-point lead for a 2-point conversion try that failed when Carr’s pass fell incomplete in the end zone. But he was not the problem. The Raiders began the fourth quarter with another drive that resulted in a touchdown from Derek Carr to Mychal Rivera.
“I’m not buying or selling”.
“I’m not discouraged by the drops”, Osweiler said. I think he’s a victor.
“I don’t really know”, King said of how his contributions heavily helped his team. It’s too early to tell. “There was a lot of talk about him this week”. “I’m glad they picked him first”. The Broncos’ offense had negative points (on a safety) in the second. “The defense can only carry them for so long”.
The second-year linebacker had five sacks in Oakland’s 15-12 win over the Broncos. Still, somehow the Broncos lost.
Going up against one of the NFL’s top defenses, the Raiders’ resistance put on an inspired performance that was certainly the difference in the outcome of the game.

Condo had one more long snap – another good one to King for a punt – and that concluded that rush of action, because then the game was finally over. The inept 49ers (4-9) allowed nine sacks and managed just 127 yards on offense before a 94-yard drive in garbage time. Their only touchdown came via a defensive fumble recovery in the end zone. The teams split their head-to-head meetings, but KC’s division record is now better (4-1 to Denver’s 3-2) as is its conference record (7-2 to Denver’s 6-3).
To: Cincinnati and New England. Demaryius Thomas had two big drops, one for a touchdown and another for a late first down.
Revis returned to practice during the week and was a full participant Friday, but needed to pass one more test in the NFL’s concussion protocol to be cleared to play Sunday. I’m so proud of each and every man in here, because the question was real simple: Do we believe, do we believe?
“It’s a team game”, Jackson said. The Packers, laying 6½ points, pulled away in the fourth quarter to knock out the Dallas Cowboys 28-7.
Green Bay center JC Tretter will make his second start in three games with Corey Linsley out again because of a sprained ankle. Denver’s offensive line had no answer for Mack and the rest of the silver and black as they were in the backfield all afternoon.
The Panthers (13-0) scored on their first three possessions, outgained the Falcons, 424-230, forced four turnovers, and recorded five sacks.
“Mack’s best move came against left tackle Ryan Harris, when he pushed back the 6’5”, 305 pound tackle so viciously that he ended up completely running him over and leaving Harris’s remains in the dust behind him before taking Osweiler to the ground. New Orleans, Oakland, Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Washington were straight-up underdogs winners.
For one thing, public and sharp bettors were right to ride the Steelers.
Dalton was hurt on a clumsy play. The game is also airing as a live stream online. Nothing is odd about that.
