The Denver Broncos just keep rolling. With their latest win over the Las Vegas Raiders, they've now rattled off 10 straight victories and sit at 11-2 on the season.
That’s not just a hot streak - that’s a statement. For the second year in a row, they’ve swept the Raiders, and they’ve now built a 3-1 record inside the AFC West, thanks to that sweep and a key win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
This team isn’t just winning - they’re checking off all the boxes that matter come playoff time. They’ve secured a valuable tiebreaker over the New England Patriots based on common opponents, which could prove critical in a crowded AFC playoff picture. And with a two-game homestand on deck against the Green Bay Packers and Jacksonville Jaguars, the Broncos are in prime position to potentially lock up the division as early as Week 15.
Now, the final score in Week 14 might not have jumped off the screen, but don’t let that fool you - Denver dominated this game in just about every meaningful way.
Broncos Control Every Facet in Week 14 Win
When you dig into the numbers, it’s clear this wasn’t a close contest. Denver outgained Las Vegas 356 to 229 in total yardage.
That’s a 127-yard gap - and it wasn’t just through the air. The Broncos pounded the rock for 112 more rushing yards than the Raiders, controlling the tempo and keeping the chains moving all afternoon.
First downs? Denver had 11 more.
Third-down conversions? The Broncos more than doubled up the Raiders.
And when it came to controlling the clock, Denver held the ball for an eye-popping 39 minutes and 3 seconds - nearly two-thirds of the game. Las Vegas?
Just 20:57 of possession. That’s the kind of time-of-possession differential that wears down a defense and breaks a team’s spirit.
Denver also ran 24 more offensive plays than the Raiders - a sign of both efficiency and control. They didn’t just win the game; they dictated every aspect of it.
Sure, some fans might’ve liked to see a late touchdown to pad the score, but in the NFL, dominance doesn’t always show up on the scoreboard. Sometimes it’s in the trenches, on third down, and in how a team closes out games. And right now, Denver is doing all of that at a high level.
A Team Peaking at the Right Time
The Broncos haven’t lost since September. Let that sink in. In a league built on parity, where even the best teams stumble, Denver is stringing together wins like a team that knows exactly who it is - and exactly where it’s going.
They’ve done it with physicality, with balance, and with a defense that continues to give opposing offenses fits. And they might be getting even stronger. Guard Ben Powers, a key piece of the offensive line, could return in the coming weeks, giving the Broncos another boost as they gear up for the stretch run.
With uncertainty swirling around several other AFC contenders, Denver looks like one of the most complete teams in the conference. They’re not just beating teams - they’re outplaying them in every phase. And if they keep this up, there’s no reason to think they can’t make a serious run at the whole thing.
The Broncos are back - and they’re not sneaking up on anyone anymore.
