Interesting Preview I read to ponder over, make your own choice, I’ve already made mine.
The Denver Broncos can become the first NFL team to reach the eight-win mark when they host the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday night.
The Broncos have been kings of late comebacks while surprisingly being tied for the best record in the NFL entering Week 10. Denver (7-2) seeks its seventh straight victory when it faces its longtime AFC West rivals.
Broncos quarterback Bo Nix is focused on what lies ahead, not the impressive winning streak.
"We've heard a lot about the win streak, but we're not even really thinking about that because we have so many things that we want to correct," Nix said. "We feel like we haven't even played a complete game offensively. We're all in a growth mindset and we're worried about the things we can fix."
During the streak, Denver has rallied from fourth-quarter deficits four times.
Denver scored 18 points in the final period of a 21-17 road victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 5, kicked a fourth-quarter field goal for a 13-11 win over the New York Jets in London in Week 6, ripped off 33 unanswered fourth-quarter points for a 33-32 victory over the host New York Giants in Week 9 and scored 11 straight fourth-quarter points in last Sunday's 18-15 road win over the Houston Texans.
Suddenly, Nix (1,976 yards, 17 touchdowns) is developing a big reputation for coming through in the clutch.
"Bo's just being Bo," said Denver receiver Courtland Sutton. "Week in and week out, he shows up. ... He finds a way. He's a gamer. The dude shows up. We know that when we have him back there, we have a chance to win the game. I think that's the most fun thing and confident thing to be able to have is to know the guy back there is going to give us a chance to win the game."
Denver swept the Raiders last season after losing the previous eight matchups.

Denver swept the Raiders last season after losing the previous eight matchups.
Las Vegas (2-6) has dropped six of its past seven games, including a 30-29 home overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars last Sunday.
The Raiders didn't have the Broncos' magic potion on their side. After matching the Jaguars' OT touchdown, they went for a two-point conversion to win but Jacksonville's DaVon Hamilton batted down Geno Smith's pass.
Las Vegas coach Pete Carroll defended the decision because wideout Tyler Lockett was open in the end zone.
"I thought we won the game because Geno went right to (Lockett)," Carroll said. "It was exactly right. We just got the ball knocked down."
Second-year tight end Brock Bowers had a monstrous game with 12 catches for 127 yards and three touchdowns. He is the first Raiders' tight end with three scoring catches in a game since franchise legend Todd Christensen in 1986.
The Raiders traded veteran receiver Jakobi Meyers to the Jaguars on Tuesday for Jacksonville's fourth- and sixth-round picks next year.
Meyers, in his seventh NFL season, had 33 receptions for 352 yards with no touchdowns in seven games. Last season, he established career highs of 87 catches and 1,027 yards to go with four scoring receptions.
Offensive coordinator Chip Kelly is trying to figure out how to replace his production.
"It has to be multiple guys. Jakobi was such an impact player for us," Kelly said after Tuesday. "I wish him the best. He was a great practice player, and I enjoyed coaching him. He was a heck of a kid, but we got some other receivers who are going to have to pick it up."
Las Vegas defensive tackle Adam Butler (back) and safeties Lonnie Johnson (fibula) and Isaiah Pola-Mao (hip) are questionable for Thursday's game. Backup quarterback Aidan O'Connell (right wrist) was ruled out.
Star cornerback Patrick Surtain II (pectoral) sat out both practices this week and will miss his second straight game. Tight end Nate Adkins (knee) and receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (concussion) also were ruled out. Safety P.J. Locke (neck) is questionable.
