    Broncos claw out a nail-biting 10-7 victory over the Raiders, thanks to a late field goal and defensive grit in a low-scoring affair.

    The Denver Broncos entered Thursday Night Football with a 7-2 record and a home game against the 2-6 Las Vegas Raiders. 

    By the end of the game, the Broncos survived with another ugly win, 10-7. 

    The Raiders began the scoring as Ashton Jeanty scored a touchdown in the first quarter. The Broncos tied the game as Bo Nix threw a pass to Troy Franklin just before the two-minute warning in the second quarter. 

    And, the final score of the game came as Will Lutz nailed a 32-yard field goal at the end of the third quarter. 

    That was the final score of the game, and yet another ugly win for Sean Payton's team. 

    The Broncos also survived an ugly 13-11 win over the New York Jets in London. 

    This time, Nix went 16-of-28 for 150 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. 

    The Broncos had a total 220 yards and held the Raiders to 188 yards. Geno Smith went 16-of-26 for 143 yards and an interception, and Jeanty led the way with 19 carries for 60 yards and the only Las Vegas score. 

    The Broncos now have an 8-2 record and a lead in the AFC West, but wins such as these are not very encouraging for the offense. The next game is against the Kansas City Chiefs at home before a Week 12 bye.
