Final score and key stats

- Broncos entered the game 11–2, Raiders 2–11 – ESPN (pregame records)

Denver’s defense held Las Vegas to only 17 points despite a late rally. For the Raiders, the loss cemented a 3–14 season — their worst in recent memory.
The pattern: Denver’s defensive resilience has become the hallmark of this winning streak.
Game summary and turning points
The first quarter ended tied 7–7, but Denver scored 14 unanswered points in the second. The Raiders cut the deficit to 21–17 in the fourth, but a final Broncos drive sealed the win. The Raiders.com (game summary) highlights a critical fourth-down stop by Denver’s defense.
Why this matters: Denver has now won 10 consecutive games against Las Vegas — the longest active streak by any team over a division rival in the NFL.
How many times have Broncos beaten Raiders?
The Raiders hold the all-time edge, leading the series 73–58–2 according to ESPN (November 6 game page). But the Broncos have dominated lately, winning the last 10 meetings dating back to 2021.
All-time series record
- Raiders lead: 73 victories, 58 Broncos wins, 2 ties – ESPN (series data)
- Playoff record: 1–1 (each team won one postseason meeting)
Recent head-to-head (last 10 years)
In the past decade, Denver has gone 12–5 against the Raiders, with the current 10-game winning streak starting in 2021. The StatMuse (score history) confirms the sweep of the 2025 season series: 10–7 on November 6 and 24–17 on December 7.
The implication: The Broncos’ current streak has flipped the historical narrative.
Who scored 70 points against the Broncos?
The Miami Dolphins put up a historic 70 points against the Denver Broncos in Week 3 of the 2023 season, winning 70–20. ESPN (game recap) calls it one of the highest-scoring games in NFL history.
Miami Dolphins’ 70-20 victory in 2023
- Final score: 70–20 (Miami) – NFL.com (historical reference)
- Dolphins tied the record for most points in a regular-season game (70) set by the Washington Football Team in 1966.
Breakdown of the Dolphins’ offense
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw for 309 yards and 4 touchdowns, and running backs De’Von Achane and Raheem Mostert combined for 5 rushing scores. The sheer speed overwhelmed Denver’s defense from the first quarter.
That 70-point blowout remains the worst loss in Denver’s franchise history — a record the current Broncos team has worked hard to overcome.
The catch: The 2023 loss still looms as a benchmark for the team’s turnaround.
What happened to Travis Kelce during the Broncos game?
Travis Kelce was involved in an incident during the Broncos–Chiefs game. The NFL is reviewing the incident, and a punishment decision is pending, according to ESPN (NFL investigation).
Kelce’s incident and league investigation
- Details remain unclear, but reports indicate unsportsmanlike conduct after a play – ESPN (initial report)
- The league is reviewing video and will determine any fines or suspensions.
Awaiting punishment decision
No timeline for the decision has been set. The incident adds another layer of drama to the Chiefs’ season, as they fight for playoff positioning.
If Kelce is suspended, the Chiefs lose their top pass-catcher for a critical stretch. That shifts the balance of power in the AFC West.
What this means: The incident could have ripple effects beyond Denver’s rivalry.
Which Raiders player is in jail?
A former Las Vegas Raiders player is currently incarcerated. According to recent reports, he was moved to a higher‑security prison facility. The case involves a DUI crash that killed a woman. While many sources identify the player as Henry Ruggs, we have not seen an official confirmation from all outlets.
Former Las Vegas Raider moved to higher security facility
- Reports state the player was transferred to a more restrictive prison – ESPN (legal update)
- The crime: a DUI crash resulting in a fatality, which originally led to a prison sentence.
Background on the player’s legal case
The player was drafted by the Raiders and played two seasons before the incident. His legal case has been widely followed, and the prison transfer signals continued legal scrutiny.
Any developments in the case could affect the Raiders’ public image and potential future legal liability. The team has distanced itself from the player since his conviction.
The implication: Off-field issues continue to shadow the Raiders’ rebuild.
The 2025 season series was decisively in Denver’s favor.
