Oakland Raiders at Denver Broncos Week 17: Who has the edge and three things to watch

When the Broncos run

The Broncos never recovered from losing running back C.J. Anderson for the season to a torn meniscus. In their seven games with Anderson, they averaged 111.6 rushing yards per game. Without Anderson, Denver has averaged 70 rushing yards a game. They’ve totaled 139 rushing yards over their past three games. The lack of a running game continues to hinder the overall effectiveness of the offense, which has been mediocre the past three weeks. Edge: Raiders
