Individual Milestones
Rookie tight end Brock Bowers led the team with eight catches for 97 yards (12.1 avg.) and scored the first touchdown of his career on a 57-yard catch-and-run in the first quarter. It was the longest offensive play by the Raiders this season and the longest reception by a Raiders tight end since Darren Waller in Week 17 of 2019 (75 yards, at Den.).
Maxx Crosby (2.0) and Christian Wilkins (1.0) combined for three sacks against a Broncos team that entered the game tied for first in the NFL in fewest sacks allowed (4.0). Crosby now has 13 career games with at least 2.0 sacks, tying Howie Long for the second most such games in franchise history (since 1982). Crosby has now registered a sack in 10 straight games versus Denver. It is only the fourth time since 1982 that an NFL player has recorded a sack in 10 or more consecutive games against a single opponent.
Linebacker Robert Spillane entered Week 5 as one of two NFL players (E.J. Speed – Colts) to record 10 tackles in all four games this season. Spillane upped his double-digit tackle streak to five games on Sunday and joined Ray Lewis (1999), Zach Thomas (2005), Luke Kuechly (2016), Denzel Perryman (2021) and Zaire Franklin (2023) as one of six players in NFL history to record 10+ tackles in each of their first five games of a season. Spillane is tied with Speed (54) for the most tackles in the NFL this season.
With injuries to Divine Deablo and Luke Masterson, rookie linebacker Tommy Eichenberg made his first career start and played 45 defensive snaps (71%).
