Pat Surtain II has two picks, Bo Nix throws two touchdowns as the Broncos win 34-18

The Raiders scored their first 10 points on Sunday. The Broncos then managed the next 34 before the Raiders finally scored again.

In the end it was 34:18.

The Broncos won their third straight game to move to 3-2, while the Raiders fell to 2-3. The Raiders had won eight straight times against the Broncos.

Denver appears to have found its identity and found ways to win as rookie quarterback Bo Nix improves. Nix finished 19 of 27 for 206 yards and two touchdowns, throwing to Jaleel McLaughlin for a 4-yard score and Josh Reynolds for a 9-yard score. He completed a pass to 11 different receivers.

Nix threw his first career touchdown pass last week against the Jets.

But it was cornerback Pat Surtain II who changed the momentum with a 100-yard pick-six after the Raiders threatened to extend their lead to two points. Surtain had another interception in the second half.

The Raiders played without receiver Davante Adams, who has a hamstring injury and is on the trade block, and lost defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, who left with a foot injury. They benched their starting quarterback, Gardner Minshew, after his second interception, and his replacement, Aidan O'Connell, also threw an interception.

Cornerback Riley Moss had the second interception of Minshew, who did not return after that turnover.

Minshew went 12 of 17 for 137 yards with a touchdown to Brock Bowers who went 57 yards. Bowers finished the game with eight catches for 97 yards. O'Connell was 10 of 20 for 94 yards and led a scoring drive late.
