"But in the aftermath, Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins spoke for many of his teammates on offense who acknowledged enough is enough, saying that it's time for the offense to stop making football life so hard for the team. "Yeah, cool, we're 8-2 ... [but] the defense is winning us the games and we're not helping them, we're not doing them any justice," Dobbins said. "I feel bad the way we play on offense and the way they play on defense, because they're doing so great and we're doing so bad. They're our brothers, too, and it just sucks because they're just out there so many plays, playing their butts off. We can't keep doing this to them.""
"Said Broncos quarterback Bo Nix: "At some point we've got to start moving the ball and scoring some points. Between penalties and sluggish football, we're just not playing very good. It starts with me. I've got to be better. ... We've got to find some juice.""
"Nevertheless, the Broncos lead the AFC West, and their current seven-game winning streak is the team's longest since it opened the 2015 season 7-0 -- Denver won Super Bowl 50 to close that year out. The Broncos' defense allowed one or no touchdowns for the fourth time this season and also had six sacks, pushing its league-leading total to 46, the most"
The Broncos improved to 8-2 with a 10-7 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders at Empower Field at Mile High. The defense dominated, allowing one or no touchdowns for the fourth time this season, producing six sacks and pushing a league-leading total to 46. The defense's pass rush and coverage repeatedly harassed quarterbacks and carried the team through close games. The offense struggled with penalties, sluggish play and an inability to sustain drives or score, placing extra burden on defenders. Denver leads the AFC West and has a seven-game winning streak, its longest since a 7-0 start in 2015 that ended with a Super Bowl title. Improved offensive execution and scoring are necessary to complement the defense.
