Meanwhile, RJ Harvey contributed significantly on the ground with 88 rushing yards, complementing the passing game and keeping the Raiders’ defense on their toes. Although Stefon Diggs had a standout performance for Las Vegas with 139 receiving yards, it was not enough to overcome Denver's offensive firepower.
Defensively, the Broncos made key plays that changed the momentum of the game, highlighted by Brandon Jones' crucial interception.
