Both offenses struggled on TNF in Week 10, but it was the Raiders’ Geno Smith who struggled against the pass rush all night.

He recorded 1.5 sacks in the game against the Raiders.
Jonathan Cooper is tied for fifth in the NFL with 7.5 sacks in 2025. Additionally, Zach Allen is tied for 11th with 6.0 sacks on the season. As a team, Denver has recorded 45 sacks this season. That’s 17 more sacks than the second-place team. The Broncos needed every part of their pass rush against the Raiders in Week 10. It was a low-scoring game won by defense, special teams and field positioning. Denver will play the Chiefs in Week 11 and receive a bye in Week 12.
