As they do every season, the Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders battled it out twice in 2019, playing in Week 1 to open the year, and then in Week 17 to close out the slate. The Raiders got the best of Denver in the Week 1 matchup, beating the Broncos in primetime in front of the Oakland faithful.
Later on in the year, the Raiders were not as lucky, as Denver's rookie quarterback Drew Lock led the team to a victory, 16-15 in the final week of the season. Lock stepped in for the injured Joe Flacco and played extremely well in Year 1, taking over as the starter, and looking like a true franchise guy for the Broncos.
