What a way to open up the season for the Denver Broncos. They’ll be heading to the west coast to play on Monday Night Football against their oldest and most bitter rivals in the Oakland Raiders. That rivalry has waned over the last few decades as the Raiders haven’t been good in a long, long time, but most Broncos fans will still look at them with contempt.
For the first time all offseason, the Raiders are actually not a sideshow for the rest of the NFL to laugh at. The team released Antonio Brown on Saturday and had their first full day of peace and quiet in months on Sunday.
