The Oakland Raiders continue to go through growing pains with another loss at home to the undefeated Denver Broncos.
In 2014, the Raiders didn’t belong on the same field as the Broncos. On Sunday, Oakland led for an entire half but fell behind late due to missed opportunities and one critical turnover.
