I think there’s greater meaning to the Raiders’ win over the Broncos than meets the eye for Josh McDaniels, and it has zero to do with the game happening in Denver. To me, it’s how it happened. Coming from behind. On the road. With the season on the line. And in a way in which it looked like, finally, everyone was on the exact same page.

How can I tell? Look at how open Josh Jacobs was at the end of the fourth quarter to set up the field goal to send the game to overtime. And look how open Foster Moreau and Davante Adams got to win it in overtime. It’s all right there for you, on three Derek Carr throws, good for the 111 yards that Las Vegas would need to take out the Broncos at Mile High.
