The Oakland Raiders (2-1) and the Denver Broncos (2-1) have a rather light list of players on their injury reports.
Crabtree was injured against Washington, taking a shot to the chest while reaching for a Derek Carr pass.
From November, 2011 to October 2015, the Broncos won eight consecutive games over the Raiders, most with Peyton Manning at quarterback, but the streak was originated by one Mr. Timothy Tebow, who led the Broncos to a 38-24 victory on November 6, 2011. The Broncos were among the teams that had players demonstrate last week, and said in the statement, "Our voices needed to be heard loud and clear". Raiders lead series, 61-50-2. He had a rating of 52.9 and a QBR of 3.5. But Mack's Raiders had three more wins than Miller's Broncos.
"He is All-Pro, what was he, Defensive Player of the Year?"
The Raiders had piled up 71 points and 769 yards in winning their first two games of the season.
Denver's defense is now fourth in the National Football League in at 263 yards allowed per game. This will be a crucial game for both teams, especially considering how Kansas City has started the season in the AFC West. Last week's edition of SNF - otherwise known as the Sunday Night Fiasco - saw the Raiders get trounced in every single possible form and fashion. Denver quarterback Trevor Siemian in last weeks road loss to the Bills failed to throw a touchdown, but did manage to throw two interceptions. Mack has seven career sacks in six games against the Broncos. But Lynch gives the Raiders a tone-setting physicality and personality. Three pass-rushers have already had at least 1.5 sacks in a game against the Broncos - the Dallas Cowboys' DeMarcus Lawrence (two), and the Los Angeles Chargers' Joey Bosa (1.5) and Melvin Ingram (1.5).
Head coach Vance Joseph of the Denver Broncos during an National Football League game against the Buffalo Bills on September 24, 2017 at New Era Field in Orchard Park, New York. They relayed their decision to Joseph, who has said politics and sports shouldn't mix. "He averages, after contact, three yards". We have to gang tackle.

Derek Carr looked absolutely terrible from the start, tossing two bad interceptions early. So with much on the line for the first of two meetings between these divisional rivals don't be surprised if this game comes down to which team controls the line, of scrimmage that is. "I think Von can do that, too, but just different players".
Will we win this game??
