In a wild game in Tampa, the Raiders emerged with another road victory after tying a franchise record with 626 total net yards. QB Derek Carr led the way for the Silver and Black, setting a franchise record with 513 yards on 40-of-59 passing and four touchdowns. WRs Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree both went over the 100-yard receiving mark for the first time since Week 2 of 2015. Cooper turned in career highs in both receptions (12) and receiving yards (173) to go along with one touchdown, and Crabtree posted eight receptions for 108 yards. With the game tied in overtime, WR Seth Roberts caught a pass over the middle of the field on a fourth-and-3, broke two tackles and raced 41 yards for the walkoff touchdown. TE Mychal Rivera hauled in his first touchdown of the season, tying the game with 1:38 remaining in the fourth quarter. In his first game against his former team, T Donald Penn reported as an eligible receiver and caught his fourth career touchdown pass for Oakland's first touchdown of the day.

Overview: The Broncos entered 2016 with their 24-year coaching veteran, Head Coach Gary Kubiak, manning the ship after leading his team to a Super Bowl 50 victory in his first season as head coach. Kubiak has started with the best winning percentage of any Broncos head coach and sees his club sit tied atop the division once again following a Week 8 victory at home against the San Diego Chargers. The Broncos, 6-2, enter Sunday's matchup on a two-game win streak in a clash that will determine who earns the outright division lead in the AFC West.

Offense: Now in his second year with Denver, former seventhround pick QB Trevor Siemian has led his team to a hot start, tied for the division lead with the Raiders. Through eight games, Siemian has thrown for eight touchdowns and four interceptions while posting a passer rating of 87.1. Lined up on the outsides for the new signal caller are WRs Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas. Sanders leads the team in both catches (44) and yards (567), while Thomas leads in touchdown receptions (4). With former RB C.J. Anderson being placed on the Reserve/Injured list, rookie RB Devontae Booker has tallied 298 yards on the ground this season while punching it into the end zone two times.

Defense: The Broncos returned many parts of their championship defense from a year ago, and through the first half of the season, it has showed. Denver's defense ranks third overall in yards per game (301.3 avg.) and boasts the number one ranked passing defense in the league (183.9 avg.). The team also ranks first in sacks, led by sixth-year All-Pro OLB Von Miller and his 8.5 sacks that are good for second most in 2016.
