Russell Wilson’s improved play is the silver lining to the Broncos’ latest loss to the Raiders

Associated Press  

DENVER — Despite coach Sean Payton’s dud of a Denver debut, the Broncos’ season opener showed his restoration of quarterback Russell Wilson is going well. Now, if Wilson can get Jerry Jeudy and Greg Dulcich back on the field, he might be able to throw for more than the 177 yards he did Sunday in Denver’s 17-16 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. “I still think we should have won that game.” His last drive was Denver’s only three-and-out, however, and the defense couldn’t get the ball back to Wilson as Jimmy Garoppolo and the Raiders ate up the final 5:08 for Josh McDaniels’ third win in three tries against the team that once fired him. The Raiders also had six, not counting a kneel-down at the end of the first half, as Denver’s defense couldn’t get the Raiders off the field, either, and committed six penalties.
