Denver leaned on its defense to edge the Raiders 10-7 on a windy Thursday, sacking Geno Smith six times while surviving sloppy offense and special teams. Wil Lutz’s 32-yard field goal late in the third, set up by J.L. Skinner’s blocked punt, stood as the winner after Daniel Carlson missed from 48 with 4:26 left. Bo Nix hit Troy Franklin for Denver’s lone touchdown after Ashton Jeanty’s 4 yard run put Las Vegas ahead. The 8-2 Broncos, winners of seven straight and 10 in a row at home, have 46 sacks, most through 10 games since at least 1990.
