The Denver Broncos showcased their rookie talent in a 29-19 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, highlighted by quarterback Bo Nix's impressive performance. Nix connected with wide receiver Courtland Sutton for a crucial touchdown, while rookie Devaughn Vele emerged as a standout with six receptions for 80 yards.
Despite some near interceptions, Nix is solidifying his bid for Offensive Rookie of the Year, joining Washington's Jayden Daniels in the race. Safety Brandon Jones made a significant impact with an interception that led to a scoring drive for Denver.
However, not all was smooth sailing; right tackle Mike McGlinchey struggled with penalties and pressures throughout the game, raising concerns about his performance.
