How bad are the Las Vegas Raiders?
How good are the Denver Broncos?
Who has the edge when these two AFC West Division opponents clash on Sunday in SinCity?
Yes, the Denver Broncos are two games up in their division over the Los Angeles Chargers and own the second best record in all of football with ten wins against only two losses. But that might be only half the story.
The other half is not as positive for the Sean Payton coached Broncos.
Their top-rated defense is the reason they are winning, and that strong D has led Payton and his coaches to design offensive game plans that minimize risk. They don’t want quarterback Bo Nix making mistakes with turnovers that put undue pressure on their strength. The team has figured out that playing inside the lines, perhaps the most boring football in the league, and grinding out close wins is the way to go.
