His ability to disrupt plays was complemented by strong performances from other defensive players, including Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns and John Franklin-Myers of the Denver Broncos. The special teams also made their mark with standout players like kicker Cam Little from the Jacksonville Jaguars.

This week's selections demonstrate the depth of talent across the league, with players rising to the occasion in critical moments as the season heads into its final stretch.

The NFL's top players are solidifying their positions as the season approaches its conclusion. Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry have been standout performers for the Baltimore Ravens, showcasing their offensive prowess.

Defensively, T.J. Watt and Cameron Heyward of the Pittsburgh Steelers have been dominant forces, contributing significantly to their team's success. As the season progresses, the competition for top honors intensifies, with players like Myles Garrett and Fred Warner also making their mark.

In a crucial matchup, Bo Nix led the Denver Broncos to a 29-19 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, marking their first win in Las Vegas since 2015. Nix's performance included 273 passing yards and two touchdown passes, breaking the rookie record previously held by Marlin Briscoe.

Courtland Sutton was a standout receiver with eight catches for 97 yards and two touchdowns. The Raiders continued their struggles, suffering their seventh consecutive loss, while Gardner Minshew's injury further complicated their situation.

The Las Vegas Raiders faced their seventh consecutive loss, falling 29-19 to the Denver Broncos at Allegiant Stadium. The game started slowly for the Raiders' offense, while their defense showcased a strong performance, particularly in the first half.

Ameer Abdullah scored a touchdown, giving the Raiders an early lead. However, despite a solid defensive effort, including a sack from Tyree Wilson, the offense struggled to maintain momentum, especially in the second half.

Ultimately, the Broncos capitalized on the Raiders' mistakes, securing the victory. The Raiders will next face the Kansas City Chiefs, the reigning Super Bowl Champions.

The Miami Dolphins and Las Vegas Raiders are set to clash in Week 11, with both teams looking to improve their seasons. The Dolphins aim to capitalize on their strong run game, despite recent challenges, while the Raiders struggle offensively, ranking last in rushing.
