Oakland Raiders Vs Denver Broncos: Statistical Match-up

– Sep 29, 2012

The Oakland Raiders fly out to Denver to take on their division foe, the Denver Broncos Sunday.

This is the first match-up of the season between the teams. They will meet up again in the O.co Coliseum week 14. Both teams would love to steal this game from the other to put them in a possible tie for the division lead and the other will slip into last place.

The game will represent the first time Raiders new head coach Dennis Allen enters his old stomping ground in Denver where he worked under John Fox as the defensive coordinator for the Broncos last season. This is also the first time veteran quarterback Peyton Manning is playing the Silver and Black, wearing a Broncos jersey.

Here is a look at the statistical match-up.
