STAR OF THE GAME Linebacker Khalil Mack has five second-half sacks, including one in the end zone for a safety, to help lead the Raiders (6-7) to a comeback victory over the Denver Broncos (10-3). His fifth sack helps stymie the Broncos' final drive with less than two minutes remaining. Mack finishes with five sacks, a forced fumble and seven total tackles.

KEY STATS Derek Carr throws second-half touchdown passes to Seth Roberts (11 yards) and Mychal Rivera (16 yards) to rally Oakland, which ends an eight-game losing streak to Denver. Carr is 12 of 29 passing for 135 yards and two scores.

The Broncos' Brock Osweiler is 35 of 51 passing for 308 yards with no TDs or INTs. Denver scores all of its points on four first-half field goals by Brandon McManus.

Oakland's minus-12 yards of total offense in the first half is the lowest production by a team in the first 30 minutes since Nov. 1, 1992, when the Chargers hold the Colts to minus-5 yards.

The Broncos have only 34 rushing yards on 21 carries after averaging 161.0 rushing yards the previous three games. The Raiders have just 27 rushing yards on 23 carries.

Oakland has only 126 total yards and eight first downs compared to Denver's 310 total yards and 20 first downs.

THEY SAID IT “He was unbelievable. He’s just getting better and better.”

“We had a chance to really do some damage in the first half and didn’t do it. And we obviously helped them in the second half with turnovers, I think four or five drops. We lost line of scrimmage offensively. We played great defense.”

Broncos coach Gary Kubiak
