DENVER — The Denver Broncos’ defense recorded six sacks, an interception and a blocked punt to overcome an uninspiring performance by their offense and beat the division rival Las Vegas Raiders, 10-7 on Thursday night.

A blocked punt by safety JL Skinner and recovered by running back Tyler Badie deep in Vegas territory led to what would be the difference-making field goal in the final seconds of the third quarter: a 32-yard chip shot by Broncos kicker Wil Lutz.

Denver held the Raiders to just 188 yards and 4-of-15 on third downs in a game that saw Vegas quarterback Geno Smith banged up in the second half. Nik Bonitto logged 1.5 sacks for a defense that's on pace to set the NFL record for sacks in a season through 10 weeks.
