Carr hopes back is fine, Mack eyes shutouts

But he has experience to the tune of 29 games and 17 National Football League starts. Both Carr and Mariota sustained broken legs in Week 15 last season, which, for all intents and purproses, abruptly ended their respective club’s grand postseason ambitions. But then the Raiders offense would take a big blow.

“Certainly, the way EJ played [Sunday] was uplifting”.

Oakland hosts the Baltimore Ravens (2-2) on Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET. But Denver safety Justin Simmons leapt higher than Cooper and intercepted the ball.

“I have not said anything but you can be assured that I will”, Del Rio said after the game. “He handled his business”.

“Oh, you’ve just got to get him on the ground”, said Miller, laughing because that’s not so easy. “That’s the one thing that I came out of there saying as a coach, ‘OK, I have to have him better prepared for that'”. He completed just 19 of 31 pass attempts for 118 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions. “If you get hit, you didn’t do something right, you have to fight back and figure out what it was”. “Franchise quarterback. My homeboy”. Besides going for it on fourth and 11, seeing King get flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct for tossing the football at Andy Janovich could have been really costly for the Raiders. “But unfortunately, it couldn’t put us over the hump”. Quarterback Derek Carr was sacked four times, the most he’s endured in a game since 2015. “When I’m watching those guys on film at Dove Valley, I think I know what’s going on, I think I know their mind process, I think I know exactly what they’re thinking”. He found a hole in the Raiders’ zone and Siemian lofted a pass that Derby latched onto with one hand, tip-toeing down the sideline for the final few yards to stay in bounds before extending his arm and the ball over the goal line for the score. “I haven’t see the play so I can’t say”.

Although the Broncos had control of the game from the start, it all came down to a huge interception in the last two minutes to seal the victory for the Broncos. Could they possibly consider Colin Kaepernick? Losing Crabtree could hinder the offense, but they are too good to be ruled out of any game.

Left tackle Donald Penn, part of an offensive line that had an uncharacteristic bad game a week ago, realizes things could be even more hard against Von Miller.

And the best part, despite the issues closing out games in a satisfying manner, is that the Broncos are indeed 3-1. This is a performance-based business.

The Broncos must eliminate turnovers if they are to win today; they have suffered six turnovers in the opening three games, and giving the ball away cheaply always heaps unwanted pressure on the team.
