The Raiders got the ball in great field position when the Broncos opened with a failed onsides kick. They took advantage of it to drive for the score.
Garoppolo scrambled for the first and goal at the five and was hit hard at the end of it, causing him to leave the game for two plays. Brian Hoyer came in and handed it off to Josh Jacobs twice for a total of two yards. Then Jimmy G came back in and finished what he started.
