Misery Index · Despair
Broncos fans are 8-2, first in the division, and somehow embarrassed to have beaten the Raiders 10-7.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A 10-7 win that felt like a loss, salvaged largely by a defense that forced a D.Tillman pick and watched D.Carlson shank a 48-yarder wide right. B.Nix's deep ball to T.Franklin getting picked by K.Kelly was the kind of play that summarizes the night — ambitious, ugly, and ultimately survivable only because the Raiders were the Raiders. The scoreboard says winner; everything else says this offense has a problem.
