| |  | DENVER: Heading into 2013, the Broncos brought back Alex Gibbs as an offensive line coach to revitalize the zone-blocking scheme. The running game is obviously aided by the threat of Denver's passing game and Peyton Manning's ability to adjust at the line of scrim- mage, but the front five deserves huge credit for the ground game. A year ago, Denver used a committee approach, and they'll always have to rotate to an extent due to the Broncos' fast pace on offense and Denver's thin air. But Montee Ball should have a big workload with most red-zone touches. C.J. Anderson and Ronnie Hillman, if he stops fumbling, will battle for scraps behind him. Denver runs the ball often inside the red zone, mostly because opponents put extra defensive backs on the field down near the goal line. Ball will almost surely take the bulk of the red zone and goal-line carries.
This is a pick-your-poison, catch-and-run passing game. Their bread-and-butter is dinking and dunking, often underneath with Wes Welker and tight end Julius Thomas and in the screen game with Demaryius Thomas and Ball. They're the best screen team in the NFL, especially when using wideouts. They will take some deep shots, a result of opponents crowding the line of scrimmage as the game goes on, with Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders slipping downfield when the opportunity arises. When they throw inside the red zone, they'll use Welker and Sanders for his ability to shake free underneath, or play-action for Julius Thomas.
Denver made plenty of personnel changes on defense with the additions of DE DeMarcus Ware, CB Aqib Talib and SS T.J. Ward, and once OLB Von Miller recovers from his torn ACL, Jack Del Rio's unit will be a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks. | | OAKLAND: In addition to bringing in Greg Olson as offensive coordinator last season, the Raiders brought in Tony Sparano to install a man-blocking scheme. The move back to power blocking was for the most part successful. This year, newly acquired Maurice Jones-Drew will get the first crack at being a workhorse back. He's dropped weight and has the vision to succeed in this scheme. Darren McFadden will battle for the starting job in what will likely end up in a timeshare. Latavius Murray reportedly looked good in practice during a redshirt rookie year and should be the No. 3 behind the injury-prone vets.
Olson showed a good deal of creativity last year with Terrelle Pryor and Matt McGloin giving two different looks under center. While he's shown a willingness to attack deep in the past, this year should be more of a traditional West Coast passing game. James Jones will have a chance to be more of a possession guy, rather than the deep threat he was in Green Bay. Denarius Moore is going to be the home run threat, with Rod Streater likely to see a lot of targets working out of the slot. Tight end Mychal Rivera should see a slightly increased role. The backs will see plenty of work in the passing game, especially fullback Marcel Reece. They don't throw often near the end zone, but Jones figures to see most red-zone targets. Moore was their most effective red-zone receiver last year.
The Raiders had a huge offseason in signing DE Justin Tuck, DE LaMarr Woodley and DT Antonio Smith up front, and former 49ers cornerbacks Tarell Brown and Carlos Rogers will help shore up a lacking secondary. But Oakland has the NFL's toughest schedule and doesn't create enough turnovers to overcome that deficiency. |

*Broncos-Raiders Preview* =========================
By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer
After leading an unbeaten run in October, Peyton Manning and Von Miller couldn't help the Denver Broncos overcome their shortcomings in a rare rout to open this month.
Coming off their worst regular-season defeat in Manning's three seasons, the visiting Broncos look to regroup Sunday with a sixth straight win over an Oakland Raiders team mired in its longest skid in 52 years.
Denver (6-2) appeared to make a statement after running off four straight victories last month by an average of 18.5 points, beating three teams with winning records.
Manning averaged 330.0 yards during that stretch, well above his 271.3 mark from the first three games, to go along with 14 touchdowns and two interceptions. He also broke the NFL record with his 509th TD pass Oct. 19 against San Francisco.
Miller enjoyed a resurgence on the other side of the ball with seven sacks after recording two in his first three games. The linebacker led a defense that allowed a league-low 258.8 yards per game in October.
The Broncos, however, had that outstanding run come to a humiliating end last Sunday when they lost 43-21 at New England.
Manning passed for 438 yards and two touchdowns, but he completed a season-worst 59.6 percent of his attempts (34 of 57) and threw two interceptions after having three in the first seven games.
The Broncos averaged 37.3 points during the winning streak before putting up their second-lowest total of the season.
"The quarterback stinks, usually you're not going to win many games," said Manning, who fell to 32-8 in regular-season starts with Denver. "I don't make any excuses."
Miller also was quiet, finishing with one tackle while his six-game sack streak was snapped.
The Broncos, still one game up on Kansas City in the AFC West, surrendered a season high in points while giving up their most passing yards (332) and total yards (398) since Week 1.
They lost middle linebacker Nate Irving until at least mid-December after he sustained a torn right medical collateral ligament. Steven Johnson is expected to replace Irving in the team's base defense.
"Shoot, there's half the season left," coach John Fox said. "I mean, we're only halfway. There's been a bunch of anointed teams already. That doesn't mean anything. Truth be told, you're two weeks away from disaster, and that's the NFL."
Perhaps a date with the Raiders (0-8) has come at the right time for the defending AFC champs.
Oakland fell behind by 21 points before making things interesting in the second half of a 30-24 loss at defending Super Bowl champion Seattle last Sunday, assuring the club a 12th straight season without a winning record.
The Raiders are last in rushing at 65.5 yards per game, a mark that would be the league's lowest since 1946. Darren McFadden, who finished with 20 yards on 13 carries last weekend, totaled 15 on 19 attempts against Denver in 2013.
Since getting routed twice in their first four games, the Raiders have entered the fourth quarter either tied or within one score only to fall short in each of their last four under interim coach Tony Sparano.
Oakland's losing streak has reached 14, its longest since a 19-game slide between 1961-62.
"This business is about wins," Sparano said. "You're seeing a lot of young players that are going to be the core of this football team for a long time that are really getting involved and contributing an awful lot."
Derek Carr bounced back from two first-half interceptions to throw a pair of touchdowns last Sunday. His 11 TDs are tied for the second-most by a rookie after eight games, one shy of Andy Dalton's record set with Cincinnati in 2011.
Linebacker Khalil Mack has been a bright spot with strong  the run and 23 quarterback pressures the past four games, but the Raiders have given up 29.2 points per game over their last five.
They're likely to have their hands full with Denver, which ranks third with 30.6 points per game. Emmanuel Sanders will try to stay on a roll after catching 19 passes for 171 yards and three scores in the last two games.
Manning has connected on 81.3 percent of his attempts for 322.0 yards per game with 11 touchdowns and one interception in four matchups against Oakland since joining the Broncos. Denver has won the last five meetings by an average of 18.8 points.
