How the Raiders performed in a season-opening victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday at Empower Field at Mile High.
The Raiders ranked 30th in turnover margin last season at minus-8. They were minus-9 in 2021 and minus-11 in 2020. They haven’t had a positive margin since 2016.
The Review-Journal sat down with Raiders cornerback Marcus Peters and learned that he’s a great swimmer who thinks he could have taken on Michael Phelps.
The unknowns are plentiful when it comes to Chandler Jones and the Raiders. The mystery thickens with each Instagram story.
The Raiders will flirt with an AFC wild-card berth this season under Josh McDaniels, but there’s still concerns about quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and the defense.
Sean Payton is the new coach in Denver and has made a career out of getting the best out of his quarterbacks.
Running back Josh Jacobs has switched his jersey number to 8 and believes the Raiders are a much better team than last season.
After rallying to beat sixth-ranked Miami Central on Friday night, the No. 2 Gaels have all the makings of winning the school’s fourth national championship.
Rookie quarterback Aidan O’Connell impressed enough in the preseason that he should be the pick over Brian Hoyer as Jimmy Garoppolo’s backup to start the season.
The Raiders are getting by far the best side of the deal with star running back Josh Jacobs, who returned Saturday on a one-year contract worth up to $12 million.
The Henderson All-Stars lost to Southeast Region champion Nolensville, Tennessee, on Tuesday in the Little League World Series at Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
The Henderson All-Stars have a deep rotation of arms beyond No. 1 Nolan Gifford, which has helped them limit Little League World Series opponents to six runs and 10 hits in three games.
Henderson on Tuesday will face Nolensville Little League from Nolensville, Tennessee — a pre-tournament favorite in the United States bracket — at noon PT on ESPN.
The Las Vegas native and Phillies star, along with former UNLV star Bryson Stott, spent time with Henderson’s team before its Little League World Series game Sunday.
