What to know

Denver is riding a nine-game win streak fueled by dominance in the trenches. The offensive line has surrendered a league-low 14 sacks, while the defensive front has piled up 51 sacks most in the NFL with five different players recording at least four apiece. In fact, the Broncos are on pace to tie the NFL's single-season team sacks record of 72.

When the Raiders and Broncos last met just four weeks ago, it was quite the defensive matchup that ended in a 10-7 win for Denver. The Raiders nearly tied it up in the fourth quarter, but missed a field goal which sealed the outcome. That Thursday Night Football battle was one of six games the Broncos have won this season by a margin of three points or fewer.
