The night marked Nix's fourth game of the season in which he completed fewer than 60% of his passes, and it was his fifth game with less than 200 passing yards in 2025. Fans and pundits took to social media during the game to rip the quarterback's performance and Denver's offensive struggles.

Although the Raiders are struggling in Pete Carroll's first year, Las Vegas has held up well against this matchup recently, except for being swept by Denver last season. Since 2020, the Raiders are 8-2 against the Broncos and need a win to turn their season around.

The Broncos began the third-quarter possession at the Las Vegas 33-yard line after an interception and big return by linebacker Dondrea Tillman. The Denver offense had already punted five times and ended another drive with an interception, but now they were in prime position to grab the lead.
