For the second time in a month, it's Raiders week.

The Broncos (10-2) will look to earn their second consecutive sweep of the Raiders (2-10) as the two teams meet at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Denver pulled out a 10-7 victory in the "Thursday Night Football" matchup at Empower Field at Mile High, and the Broncos are looking for another win as they enter the final stretch of the season.

"We have an important one this week, a divisional game on the road," quarterback Bo Nix said. "Those are always important to go out there and get. They're a tough team. They're a hungry team."

With a win in Sin City, the Broncos would assume the top seed in the AFC and secure a valuable tiebreak over the currently No. 1-seeded Patriots. Denver would also earn its fifth consecutive road win, which would be tied for the fourth-longest single-season streak in franchise history.

Should the Broncos earn a 10th consecutive win, it would also boost their AFC West title chances to 90 percent.

"We're in a great spot," Nix said ahead of Week 14. "10-2 is hard to do. … But we didn't work this hard just to win 10."

These are the questions that will determine if the Broncos can get to 11-2 with a sweep of a division foe:

CAN THE BRONCOS' OFFENSE PLAY CLEANER FOOTBALL IN ROUND 2?

The Broncos squeezed out a win in the first matchup between the two teams, as Denver's offense posted 10 points in a three-point win in Week 10.

Denver used a second-half field goal — set up by JL Skinner's blocked punt — to take the lead against the Raiders and then posted a late drive of nearly five minutes to ice the game away.

Payton acknowledged ahead of the Week 14 rematch that the Broncos "didn't play nearly our best game offensively" in that outing and called the review of that matchup "tough film to watch."

Denver punted seven times and had a pair of turnovers in the first meeting, and the Broncos were also whistled for seven penalties for 55 yards on offense.

"They've done a good job at times defensively," Payton said. "They put us in a pickle last time. I think the film this year is important."

As the Broncos look for another win, cleaner execution will be critical.

"I think we got behind the sticks a lot with penalties," Offensive Coordinator Joe Lombardi said Thursday. "They played the run really well, gave us some different looks that we hadn't seen before. They kind of knocked us off schedule a little bit.

"… We told the guys, don't get fooled by the record. This is a good defense."

Denver's most recent offensive performance suggests the Broncos could find more success in the rematch. Denver's offense was whistled for just one penalty for 10 yards against the Commanders, and the Broncos posted four drives of at least 10 plays. Bo Nix and Co. scored three touchdowns — including a game-winning score in overtime — en route to the 27 points they needed to beat the Commanders.

CAN DENVER LIMIT BROCK BOWERS AGAIN?

Raiders tight end Brock Bowers is among the league's best playmakers, but Denver held him in check in a Week 10 win.

Bowers caught just one pass on three targets for 31 yards in the teams' first meeting, and the Broncos found that success without Pat Surtain II in the lineup.

A year ago in Las Vegas, with Surtain covering Bowers for most of the afternoon, the talented tight end recorded four catches for 38 yards on 10 targets.

Bowers, though, has the potential to make big plays. He caught a 57-yard touchdown against the Broncos in Week 5 of last season, and he's had a pair of multi-touchdown games in 2025. Despite being limited by injuries this season, the 2024 first-team All-Pro has caught 49 passes for 573 yards and five touchdowns in nine games.

"Their best player is Bowers, obviously, and the runner [Ashton Jeanty], so our main thing is to not let Bowers beat us in any capacity — first, second or third down," Defensive Coordinator Vance Joseph said. "That's our first goal."

If the Broncos can limit Bowers' impact, it should go a long way toward earning an 11th win.

HOW DO LAS VEGAS' NEW COORDINATORS IMPACT THE GAME?

Since the last time the Broncos and Raiders played, Las Vegas has made a pair of changes at the coordinator positions. Greg Olson now serves as the Raiders' offensive coordinator, while Derius Swinton is leading the special teams unit.

"Some things are very similar and some things aren't," Joseph said of Olson's offense after his first game last week. "… Every week is something new you have to adjust to. I'm just going to wait and see what he gives us and kind of adjust accordingly."

Added Payton: "There'll be some things they want to do differently. I'm sure they'll want to run the ball more."

The Raiders scored 14 points with 156 total yards in their first outing under Olson, and the Broncos will look to ensure Las Vegas doesn't find more success. The league's 31st-ranked scoring offense has allowed the second-most sacks, while also being tied for the second-most interceptions this season. Through 13 weeks, the Raiders have been held to 10 points or fewer on five occasions.

On special teams, the Broncos' blocked punt helped win the game in Week 10. Special Teams Coordinator/Assistant Head Coach Darren Rizzi, though, also wants to see more from his unit.

"There are some noticeable differences on film the last few games," Rizzi said of the Raiders. "He has the guys playing really, really hard, really fundamentally sound. … We didn't play particularly well last time we played them. We had one really big play, the JL blocked punt, and that was a game changer. I think we have to be more consistent ourselves and be better this go-round."

As the Broncos look to handle the uncertainty of facing new coordinators, the ability to adapt will be crucial.
