RJ Harvey Nears Landmark Achievement in Broncos vs. Raiders Clash
The Denver Broncos are on a remarkable journey, standing strong at 10-2 as the 2025 season progresses. This season, they find themselves in a tight race for the top playoff seed in the AFC, not with traditional rivals like the Kansas City Chiefs or Buffalo Bills, but with the New England Patriots, who also share two losses. The Broncos hold the tiebreaker advantage by outperforming the Patriots against common opponents.
To solidify this position, the Broncos are gearing up for a crucial rematch against the Las Vegas Raiders. A win on Sunday would not only deepen their head-to-head advantage but also strengthen their playoff aspirations. In contrast, the Raiders have less at stake, but they will aim to disrupt their rival’s playoff objectives.
Team Milestones on the Line
As the Broncos head into Week 14, several players are on the brink of significant personal and team milestones:
- 11 Straight Wins: The Broncos aim for their tenth consecutive victory, a feat not achieved since 2012. A win at Allegiant Stadium would mark five straight road victories, a first since 2012.
- RJ Harvey’s Touchdown Chase: Rookie running back RJ Harvey needs just one touchdown catch to tie Knowshon Moreno for the fourth-most touchdowns by a rookie running back in franchise history. He currently leads the team with eight touchdowns this season.
- Bo Nix’s Passing Touchdowns: Quarterback Bo Nix is one passing touchdown away from becoming the fifth player in franchise history to achieve 20 passing touchdowns in consecutive seasons. With 19 touchdowns this season, he aims to join the ranks of Broncos legends like John Elway and Peyton Manning.
- Courtland Sutton’s Yardage Goal: Wide receiver Courtland Sutton needs 61 receiving yards to tie Steve Watson for the sixth-most receiving yards in team history. He is also on track to become the third player to record eight touchdown catches in three consecutive seasons.
- Jonathon Cooper’s Sack Target: Defensive end Jonathon Cooper is on a quest for a half-sack to record at least eight sacks for the third consecutive season. He achieved a career-high 10.5 sacks last year and is looking to replicate that success.
As the Broncos prepare for this high-stakes matchup, players are keen to make history. Their performance against the Raiders could have lasting implications for both individual records and the team’s playoff journey.
