Welcome to Week 2 of the NFL Season with the Raiders taking the opening kickoff from the Broncos at Mile High Stadium in Denver. Just like last week, Oakland’s offense again looked good in their opening drive with Jon Gruden’s scripted plays to start out the game. Unlike last week though the Raiders drive came to a stop inside the red zone so they settled for a 26 field goal by Mike Nugent. The drive lasted 9 plays for 67 yards and made the score 3-0 Raiders.
Neither team was able to earn a first down (1 by penalty though) over the next 5 drives in a row, all 5 drives were 3 and outs except for a defensive holding penalty that nullified a Von Miller strip sack on Derek Carr.
