The Oakland Raiders host the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football for the season opener, and it is a game that Raiders fans should be excited about. The Raiders have a lot to prove, and the match-up with the Broncos is one that works well for them.
The Raiders will see Antonio Brown line up against a Pro Bowl corner, Trent Brown and Kolton Miller face off against some of the best pass rushers in the league, and the Raiders pass rush go against a solid offensive line.
If the Raiders are going to do anything of substance this season, Week 1 will be a good barometer, as it will showcase the improvements they made in their areas of need last season.
