Is Raiders that bad or is Denver that good. Question answered Denver is that good.
No. As a Broncos fan I'd say it was because the Raiders are that bad. The Chiefs are just the worst team in the AFC. The Broncos didn't overly impress me today. The offense is amazing, but the defense made Rivers look like a great QB, which he is far from. I think they have to be the favorites to win the AFC West right now, but I'd say NE, and Indy are still the best teams in the AFC.
The Broncos were one play from losing this game. They won and that's all that matters, but don't overreact to it and start thinking this is one of the best teams in the league. They're a playoff team, and that's the goal any realistic fan had for this team this season.
Cutler/Marshall will be the best QB/WR tandem in the NFL for years though.
