It was a tough game last week for Raiders’ star tight end Darren Waller struggled against the Titans last week with three drops and he’s had a fairly slow start to the season as he has 13 catches for 11.6 yards per catch.(15:00 - 1st) B.McManus kicks 70 yards from DEN 35 to NYG -5. While Denver’s defense has been excellent, they have had some struggles against the tight end with standout safety Justin Simmons out injured.

New Las Vegas pass-rusher Chandler Jones has been a no-show thus far, but he had had recent success against Wilson in when he was with Arizona and Wilson was a Seahawk. The Raiders haven’t have much pressure on quarterbacks thus far and have just two Maxx Crosby sacks on the season. But as he showed in the fourth quarter against San Francisco on Sunday, Wilson can still make winning plays. The truth is Wilson and the Broncos offense has been extremely uneven this season thus far and new head coach Nathaniel Hackett has struggled in his role as well. This is the Raiders’ first game against Wilson as a division opponent. Winners and losers in Week 3 against Titans The Denver’s defense has been excellent and it a big reason why it is 2-1. They were 2-for-6 in the red zone against the Titans and it’s a major reason why they fell to 0-3. Quarterback Derek Carr and the offense just can’t consistently find the end zone. That was supposed to change this year with McDaniels calling the plays and Adams in the offense. We all know the Raiders had big trouble inside the opponent’s 20-yard line during the Jon Gruden era. Yes, the Raiders have other problems on offense, including the red zone, third down and a lack of overall balance, but Adams is usually the best player on the field. He has just seven catches for 48 yards in the past two games combined. We all know that the Raiders haven’t been able to take advantage of the presence of star wide receiver Davante Adams yet.

But if Las Vegas can clean up simple mistakes like dropped balls and fewer penalties and missed assignments, the Raiders will give themselves a bunch better chance of beating the Broncos, who have been the opposite of the Raiders. ![]() The problems are varied and are on both sides of the ball. The Raiders haven’t won yet because they simply haven’t done enough good things in any game yet. From listening to coach Josh McDaniels and quarterback Derek Carr after the loss to Tennessee last week, it is clear, the lack of execution and sloppy play is something that is also happening at practice. Yes, it’s as simple as that and it begins here. Let’s look at five keys to the game for the Raiders: The Las Vegas Raiders are desperate for a win after starting the season 0-3 and have to figure out a way to beat the 2-1 Denver Broncos Sunday at Allegiant Stadium.
