While both offenses struggled for TNF in Week 10, it was the Raiders’ Geno Smith who was battling the pass rush all night. Las Vegas tried to control the game on the field, but Denver’s defense held firm. Ashton Genty carried the ball 19 times for 60 yards and scored a touchdown. While Genty’s performance was decent, he was overshadowed offensively by the Raiders’ struggles. Geno Smith finished the game with 143 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception.
Denver’s defense was hounding the QB all night. They finished the game with 22 QB pressures, 11 QB hits, six sacks, and one interception. Geno Smith and the Raiders had no chance against the Broncos on TNF. Through the first 10 games of the 2025 season, Denver has 46 sacks as a team. They are on their way to breaking a record that has stood for more than 40 years

The Chicago Bears recorded 72 sacks as a team in the 1984 season. Denver is on pace to get 78 sacks as a team in 2025. Their defense is playing at a historic rate to start the year. Can the Broncos maintain this type of production over their final seven games? Leading the way for Denver this season is Nick Bonito with 9.5 sacks. That’s third in the NFL. He had 1.5 sacks in TNF vs. the Raiders.
Jonathan Cooper ranks fifth in the NFL with 7.5 sacks in 2025. Additionally, Zach Allen ranks 11th with 6.0 sacks on the season. As a team, Denver has 45 sacks this season. That means 17 more sacks than the second-place team. The Broncos needed every bit of their pass rush in Week 10 versus the Raiders. It was a low-scoring game won through defense, special teams and field position. Denver will face the Chiefs in Week 11 and have a bye in Week 12.
