The Broncos edged the Las Vegas Raiders 10-7 Thursday night for their seventh straight win thanks to another stellar performance by Vance Joseph's defense. They sacked Geno Smith a half dozen times, pushing their total to 46, more than any team's had in its first 10 games since at least 1990. They're on pace for an NFL-record 78 sacks.

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.

The Broncos and the Raiders etched themselves in the record books on Thursday, but not for reasons either team is happy about.

“Obviously, if there’s a need, you want to get it, but we feel like we’ve got all the pieces,” second-year quarterback Bo Nix said Tuesday. “Sometimes when something like that happens, it shakes things up. We’ve got something good going and we just want to keep riding this wave and finding ways to win.”

Donning the best uniforms in the NFL, the Denver Broncos' D performed like the historic Orange Crush defense. They made history against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Denver Broncos again snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in Thursday's primetime contest against the Las Vegas Raiders, escaping with a 10-7 conquest at Empower Field at Mile High -- their seventh straight win and eighth overall on the year.

Denver (7-2) also owns one of the NFL's best defenses, headlined by pass rushing aces Nik Bonitto and Jonathon Cooper. Bonitto has eight sacks this season, and Cooper has seven. Overall, the Broncos are allowing the third-fewest yards per game this season.
