vs Las Vegas RaidersSunday, November 22 · 4:25 PM ETTV: CBSBroncos After Week 9: Season Report
The Denver Broncos won 26-21 at the Carolina Panthers, who dropped to 3-5. The result lifted the Broncos to 7-2 and stretched their winning streak to 5 games. Their road record now stands at 3-2, and their home record this season remains perfect at 4-0.
Bo Nix carried the passing game, completing 25 of 37 throws for 237 yards with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. Jonah Coleman supplied the ground score, finishing with 57 rushing yards and 1 touchdown on 17 carries. Neither line was large, but both produced the scores the Broncos needed to win a close game on the road.
Denver tops the AFC West, narrowly ahead of the Chiefs at 6-2, while the Raiders and winless Chargers trail. The team holds the 2 seed in the AFC today. Its recent run includes a 28-24 home win over the Chiefs, plus road wins at the Chargers and Cardinals.
Ball security is the clear strength, ranking 5th of 32 with 0.8 turnovers per game, but the offense struggles to move the ball at 277.4 total yards per game, 30th of 32. Nix leads the offense with 1,493 passing yards. On defense, Alex Singleton leads the team with 149 tackles.
Next, the Broncos host the Raiders at 4-4, travel to the Steelers at 6-2 and return home for the Dolphins at 1-7. The Steelers trip is the hard part of a stretch that otherwise looks manageable. Still in the playoff race with 8 games left, the Broncos hold a division lead that only the Chiefs can currently threaten.
