The Las Vegas Raiders produced a sluggish performance on the road against the Denver Broncos on Thursday, struggling to score despite multiple opportunities.During a fourth down in the second quarter, with the visitors up 7-0 after an Ashton Jeanty rushing touchdown, Raheem Mostert missed a block that led to Talanoa Hufanga sacking Geno Smith and forcing a turnover on downs.The quarterback was upset and appeared to take his frustration out on Mostert before Kenny Pickett intervened.The Broncos capitalized to tie the game, with Bo Nix finding Troy Franklin in the end zone. The Raiders ended the first half on a high note, intercepting an attempted connection between the two.The first half featured eight punts, five of them consecutive. AJ Cole III landed one at the 2, then another at the 1 - both of which led to three-and-outs on the opponents' ensuing drives.Raiders-Broncos second-half summaryThe lack of action in the first half carried on to the first two drives of the second, as both sides exchanged punts. The drought continued even after the Broncos managed to enter Raiders territory, as Wil Lutz missed a 59-yard attempt.However, the Broncos then got a much-needed break. On the very next snap, Geno Smith tried to connect with Ashton Jeanty, but the ball bounced off the running back and into the hands of Dondrea Tillman, who took it to the 33.That drive, however, was seemingly killed by offensive pass interference on Troy Franklin. After making little progress, the Broncos punted despite still being in opposing territory.That gamble seemingly worked, as they forced a three-and-out, then blocked the punt, eventually regaining possession at the 12. It finally allowed them to take the lead with a field goal.After that, yet another sequence of punts occurred. The Raiders found some solace when Kyu Blu Kelly intercepted Nix, but it proved to be in vain after Daniel Carlson missed the ensuing field goal attempt.The failure allowed the Broncos to spend the rest of the fourth quarter marching into enemy territory, burning the clock and securing the win.
