LAS VEGAS — Sin City in daylight leaves sobering truths in its wake. Like marriages. Hangovers. Failed bets. And lost fumbles.Everything was set up for the Broncos' to snap their ugly six-game road losing streak to the Raiders. Creeping into field goal range in the second quarter, Russell Wilson handed off to Melvin Gordon and everything changed.
The nine-point deficit in the second half felt much bigger because the Broncos' offense was held scoreless in the third quarter, rendered predictable without balance. Wilson put on a clinic in the first half with a 158.0 quarterback rating, but was left scrambling and dodging rushers, unable to pull off the comeback.On the lonely bench, Gordon sat briefly after his mistake, teammates consoling him.
Competing on the road requires complementary football. It unfurled in the first quarter as the Broncos opened a 7-3 lead. D.J. Jones, writing a diary of havoc, sacked Carr at the 2-yard line. Rookie Montrell Washington delivered a career-best 30-yard return, setting up Wilson. He dropped a dime to Eric Saubert — he has supplanted Albert Okwuegbunam as the pass-catching tight end — for 25 yards.
What happened next was as predictable as it was crippling. After Williams converted a fourth-and1, leaving the ball at the 41-yard line, Gordon fumbled, knocked in the arm and back by Duron Harmon as Robertson grabbed the ball and raced 68 yards for a touchdown, shoving the Raiders ahead 16-10 with 3:31 remaining in the half. Gordon has fumbled in every game this season, losing two of four, and five straight games dating to the 2021 season finale vs. the Chiefs.
A bare-knuckle brawl broke out in the second half. The Broncos' offense lost Williams and couldn't temper Jacobs. The former Alabama star continued riddling the Broncos. He eclipsed 100 yards rushing with a 42-yard gain that set up a field goal. The Broncos' streak of not allowing a second-half touchdown ended with Jacobs' score.
