DENVER – Now, there will be a hard swallow.

The Raiders did not follow a track for 59 minutes and 55 seconds, but still lost.

Gareon Conley and Leon Hall scored two tackles 20 seconds from the end of the game, allowing the Broncos to enter the penalty box before Brandon McManus hit a 36-yard winner.

The Raiders fall to 0-2 after the 20-19 defeat on Sunday, while their Broncos rivals go to 2-0.

Here are some quick excerpts from the game.

The Raiders' defense is cracking late and still no passage

The Raiders only collected half of last season, the first half of week 12 against the Broncos in Oakland with Paxton Lynch at quarterback.

Gruden and Paul Guenther could not have asked for a better first defensive period thanks to a team that scored 33 points six days ago. The Broncos scored 27 on the Seahawks in Week 1, so it's not the same thing.

The Raiders could not get to the quarterback – again – but found other ways to smother the Broncos. Aside from the Maurice Hurst bag in the first half, Melvin / Arden Key pressure early in the fourth quarter and Key pulling a hand in the two-minute warning, the Raiders bet on the sound and two solid blankets face to face. The secondary

The final test for Oakland's defense took place while the Broncos were supported against their own red zone. The Raiders' defense almost took place, but those two missed tackles from Conley and Hall were enough to defeat the Raiders in another defeat.

Rashaan Melvin delivers timely interception

The first interception of the Raiders last season took place on week 12. Against the Broncos. In the end zone. This season, their first choice came 10 games earlier, but again against the Broncos. Melvin clinched Case Keenum not in the end zone, but on the 1 yard line and returned it to 15 yards in the other direction.

Melvin jumped in front of a Jake Butt pass, as you can see below.

The choice prevented the only threat of the Broncos in the first half, as the local team only managed three first tries in the first 30 minutes.

Obviously, the choice did not matter in the end, but the Raiders can at least say they have one to their credit.

Derek Carr returns from the first week missed

After throwing three interceptions against the Rams, Carr did not play three games in a single game last season. The fourth rebounded strongly against the Broncos.

Carr completed 21 of her first 22 assists and finished 29-for-32 with 288 yards passing and one touchdown. According to Pro Football Reference, its completion percentage of 90.6% ranks 23rd of all time, and is the best score for a quarter of the Raiders since Rich Gannon's percentage of success against the Broncos in 2002 Ken Stabler in 1972 (90.9%) and once in 1975 (91.7%).

Admittedly, it's only the second week, but Carr needed it after an awful week, 1 even though it was lost.
