Broncos vs. Raiders: Score, results, highlights from 'Monday Night Football' image

If this was the Raiders last home game at the Oakland Coliseum, they went out on a high note. 

With reports swirling that the team may play elsewhere in 2019 before moving to Las Vegas the following year, the Raiders delivered one of their most complete games of the season. 

They took a lead early on in the first quarter and never looked back, beating the Broncos 27-14 in a battle of the third and fourth place teams in the AFC West.

Perhaps the biggest surprise was Oakland’s defense, which entered Monday having allowed the most points per game (29.9)  in the NFL. Not only did it hold Denver’s offense off the scoreboard until the second half, but it also forced two interceptions of Case Keenum in the fourth quarter that sealed the game.

The run defense of the Raiders also impressed, allowing just 100 total yards to five different Broncos ball carriers.

Derek Carr (167 yards passing) and Doug Martin (107 yards, touchdown) led a balanced offensive attack, and Dwayne Harris had a 99-yard punt return for a touchdown in the victory.

Oakland will close its season against the Chiefs next week, while the Broncos go for the season sweep of the Chargers.

Sporting News provided live updates of Broncos vs. Raiders, which was the final "Monday Night Football" game of the season.
