The Denver Broncos (6-2) will try to get back on the winning track on Sunday afternoon when they go on the road to face the Oakland Raiders (0-8). The Broncos swept their two-game regular season series against the Raiders last year.
The Broncos had their four-game winning streak snapped last Sunday when they were blown out 43-21 by the New England Patriots. They did have 429 passing yards in that game, but they only finished with 43 rushing yards.
Through eight games, the Broncos are gaining 407.6 yards per game and scoring 30.6 points per game, which is the third-best scoring rate in the league. Quarterback Peyton Manning struggled a bit against the Patriots, but he has still thrown for 2,572 yards this season with 24 touchdowns and just five interceptions.
Last Sunday, the Raiders played pretty well against the Seattle Seahawks, but they were unable to pick up their first win as they lost 30-24 on the road. They had just 37 rushing yards in that loss and they turned the ball over three times.
The Raiders currently have the worst rushing team in the NFL by only gaining 65.5 rushing yards per game against their opponents. Quarterback Derek Carr has 1,711 passing yards this year with 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Running back Darren McFadden has rushed for 358 yards and two touchdowns, and he is only averaging 3.7 yards per carry.
