Geno Smith Shows Toughness Despite Injury
Geno Smith played through an injury during the Las Vegas Raiders' 10-7 loss to the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football. Although he briefly left the game due to the injury, he returned despite a visible limp. Smith explained,
“I never wanted to leave my teammates out there. I feel it’s a big responsibility of mine to be out there and do whatever I can to help.”
Raiders Struggle Against Broncos Defense
The Raiders fell to 2-7 this season following a poor performance against Denver. The Broncos pressured Smith relentlessly, sacking him six times with their historically strong pass rush. Smith finished with 143 yards and an interception, but no touchdowns.
Offensive Difficulties Persist
Las Vegas managed just 188 total yards and scored only 7 points, relying mainly on a first-quarter rushing touchdown by Ashton Jeanty. The Raiders failed to score again during the remaining 48 minutes of the game. This marked the fourth time this season the team scored in single digits, the worst in the NFL.
Game Overview

- Both teams had 11 penalties, exceeding their combined first downs of 10.
