Broncos Squeak By Oakland

It wasn't pretty, but a win is a win and Denver Broncos GM Ryan Branagin will take it any way he can get it. Zak Zurwell and the Raiders were well on their way with a 100+ yard rushing game by Chris Ivory and a solid performance earlier in the week by QB Russell Wilson, but the Broncos made a late push to steal the win in this Week 1 divisional matchup. All hope for Denver seemed lost when RB Doug Martin exited the game with an apparent knee injury and didn't return, but a two touchdown performance by TE Vernon Davis and a solid performance from the D/ST led to a 72-71 victory for Denver. Oakland (0-1) will travel to Carolina in Week 2 to take on the Panthers (0-1) while the Broncos (1-0) will head to CenturyLink Field to face the 12th Man and the Seahawks (0-1).
