The Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos will meet for their first of two contests this season in a Week 5 matchup at Empower Field at Mile High.

Both teams are coming off a win last week. The Raiders notched a 20-16 victory over the Cleveland Browns in Week 4, while the Broncos secured their second straight win with a 10-9 victory over the New York Jets.

The Raiders enter this game very banged up, with Las Vegas sporting a whopping 16 players on their injury report during the week. Las Vegas will be without multiple starters on both sides of the ball.

Las Vegas has dominated Denver in recent years, with the Raiders having won eight straight games against the Broncos. This is the second-longest winning streak for the Raiders against Denver in franchise history, with the longest being a 14-game streak from 1965-71.

The Raiders and Broncos currently sit third and fourth in the division, respectively, but the winner will move into second place in the AFC West behind the first-place Kansas City Chiefs.
