The Las Vegas Raiders defeated the Broncos 34–24 on Sunday afternoon in a tough loss on hometown turf.

Driving the news: This was the third consecutive loss for the Broncos, marking the first time in franchise history that the team followed a three-game win streak with a three-game losing streak, per the Denver Post.

The loss overshadowed festivities surrounding the induction of Mike Shanahan, the winningest coach in franchise history, into the team's Ring of Fame.
The Raiders rebounded with a strong performance on Sunday following consecutive losses and the resignation of disgraced head coach Jon Gruden earlier this week.

What to watch: In a quick turnaround, the Broncos will travel to Cleveland Thursday night for a matchup against the Browns.
