Kareem Jackson and Caden Sterns both introduced as starters. Justin Simmons is the last one out of the tunnel to roaring approval. #Broncos #Denver7

Broncos defered.
Will kick to start the game.
Sean Payton starting his era off in Denver with an onside kick.
— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) September 10, 2023
Didn't work out due to an illegal touch, but I LOVE the decision.
There's a new boss and philosophy in town.
The @Broncos almost pulled off the onside kick on Sean Payton's first play

Touchdown, Garoppolo to Jakobi Meyers. Beats Mathis on third-and-goal. Flag after the TD for taunting on Meyers. Gregory also comes up to Meyers and words are exchanged. Penalty on the kickoff. TD stands.

Wilson throws a 21-yard strike to Brandon Johnson

Nice!!
Russell Wilson threw the ball behind Courtland Sutton.
— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) September 10, 2023
But Broncos are bailed out with a DPI.
Is Russ back?? Broncos inside the 5 yard line.
— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) September 10, 2023
LETS PUNCH IT IN!!
BRONCOS TOUCHDOWN
— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) September 10, 2023
RUSSELL WILSON TO LIL'JORDAN HUMPHREY.
Wil Lutz misses the XP
— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) September 10, 2023
You don't like that.
Broncos first touchdown of the year goes to WR Lil Jordan Humphrey. It was an impressive drive by the offense and QB Russell Wilson.pic.twitter.com/M9pZc7CBjM

Caden Sterns goes for a tackle on Josh Jacobs in the backfield on third down — Jacobs breaks it and runs for a first down, and now Sterns is down.
— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) September 10, 2023
Here is play where Sterns was hurt. Blitzed and leg kind of whipped on tackle but nothing major. Just looked like one of those non contact knee injuries. Stinks. #Denver7 #Broncos pic.twitter.com/r94ZLc1ZPp
— Troy Renck (@TroyRenck) September 10, 2023
Wilson sacked
— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) September 10, 2023
Its now 2nd and very long
Crosby off to a fast start to the season with a nice sack to stifle this broncos drive.

Raiders called for illegal contact on Russell Wilson's fumble.
— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) September 10, 2023
Broncos ball.
Wil Lutz is no good from 55-yards
— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) September 10, 2023
No a great debut
Raiders wanted to use the flea-flicker to set up Davante Adams wide open — but PS2 did not fall for the banana in the tailpipe. Tight coverage, incomplete.
— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) September 10, 2023
PS2 is elite
— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) September 10, 2023
PS2 doing PS2 things. ♂️

Adams draws PI on Surtain II. A lot of contact. But appeared Surtain grabbed w right arm and Adams sold it .
— Troy Renck (@TroyRenck) September 10, 2023
Eight penalties now today on #Broncos.
— Chris Tomasson (@christomasson) September 10, 2023
Kareem Jackson with a HUGE red zone interception. Ball was tipped and landed right in his hands. Great defensive hold there despite some bad penalties. #Broncos
— Rachel Strand (@RachelNFL) September 10, 2023
.@alexsingleton49 tips it, @ReemBoi25 snags it!

SAMAJE PERINE WITH THE SPEED.
— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) September 10, 2023
Excellent burst after catching the pass to pick up the first down.
Broncos up six. The missed field goal and extra point kinda sting here
— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) September 10, 2023
According to @pfref, the Broncos had ZERO drives of at least eight minutes last season.
— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) September 10, 2023
They’ve had two today.
It’s a different world in #BroncosCountry.
Broncos give up a big throw AND then also get a roughing the passer on Bassey.
— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) September 10, 2023
Raiders easily drive down the field and take the 17-16 lead on the Broncos.
— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) September 10, 2023
6:34 left in the game.
Adams? Nope just Meyers again for another TD.
— The Irish NFL Show (@IreNFL) September 10, 2023
Raiders rebound to take the lead 17-16

Broncos with their first three-and-out of the game comes at a bad time. 5 minutes left in the game.
— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) September 10, 2023
Punt.
Oh, boy.
— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) September 10, 2023
Kareem Jackson with the hit on Jakobi Meyers after he makes the catch. Meyers is short of the line to gain. But he is down on the ground being treated by Raiders medical personnel.
And it’s a personal foul on Jackson.
Damn, this was bad.. #Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers went down after taking a hit to his head, played gathered around him as he stayed on the field.pic.twitter.com/PAa8aYAYeS

Game over.

Vance Joseph, your defense and pass rush suck.
