Someone forgot to tell the Oakland Raiders Sunday night was their biggest game since 2012. They played as if it were a backyard game, bullying the division rival Denver Broncos.

Coming into this week, many questioned who and what the Raiders are as a team. Playing against the Denver Broncos Sunday night, they had a chance to show us all that they are for real. And at the same time, they exposed the Broncos for the weaknesses they have now.

They already out-physicaled some of the most physical teams in the NFL but never got credit for it. All the football world recognized the Raiders for was QB Derek Carr and his WRs. Of course, throwing for 513 yards and four TDs had something to do with it.

The football world then believed the Broncos could come in with their defense and put a stop to it. And while they did, no one counted on the Raiders just lining up and taking it to the Broncos. While the Broncos can still cover and get after the QB, they’re not very physical.

The way the Raiders won issn’t a surprise to me but the ease in which they did it was. Turn the page for a look at how the Raiders dominated the Broncos.
