Broncos End Eight-Game Losing Streak Against Raiders with 34-18 Victory
DENVER — The Denver Broncos broke their eight-game losing streak against the Las Vegas Raiders with a commanding 34-18 victory at Empower Field on Sunday. This marked a significant win for the Broncos, who had not triumphed over their AFC West rivals since December 2019.
Quarterback Bo Nix was instrumental in the victory, throwing two touchdown passes and adding a rushing touchdown to his tally. One of the game’s standout moments came from cornerback Patrick Surtain II, who made a remarkable 100-yard interception return for a touchdown, the second-longest in franchise history.
The game started with a quick offensive display from the Raiders, who covered 70 yards in just over two minutes on their opening drive, culminating in a touchdown. They also secured a field goal late in the first quarter, taking an early 10-0 lead.
However, the Broncos quickly turned the tide, dominating the remainder of the game. Over the final 45 minutes, they scored 34 unanswered points, showcasing a balanced and effective offense while their defense stepped up to intercept the Raiders’ quarterbacks—Gardner Minshew and Aidan O’Connell—a total of three times.
Nix connected with Jaleel McLaughlin and Josh Reynolds for touchdowns in the second half and executed a one-yard quarterback sneak for another score, solidifying the Broncos’ strong performance.
In addition to their victory, the Broncos sported their new throwback uniforms for the game, which received positive reactions from fans on social media, adding to the overall excitement of the day.
