DENVER, Colo. -- The Las Vegas Raiders look to get their first divisional win over the Denver Broncos in this Week 5 AFC West matchup.

Remember the rule of five. The game is over if the Las Vegas Raiders win that key statistical battle. For those who don't remember it, it has to do with sacks and turnovers. If the Raiders have three sacks and give up two, they are plus one. They are plus three if they get four turnovers and give up only one. That would give them a plus-four for the day. They want to get to a plus-five ratio every game. On average, teams that reach the rule of five scenarios win 91 percent of their NFL games.

The Raiders are looking to power through the Davante Adams drama to get above .500.

--

The Las Vegas Raiders were off to a fast start, with rookie tight end Brock Bowers making his presence known early with a touchdown. Gardner Minshew II was off to a strong start, too, managing the pocket and making some key throws.

The run game has been the best it’s been all season, with Alex Mattison and Ameer Abdullah leading the way in rushing yards. The loss of Davante Adams was felt in critical situations.

Defensively, the Raiders defense has gotten to rookie quarterback Bo Nix, but not nearly enough. Costly penalties on both sides of the ball have hindered the Raiders, especially pre-snap.
