The Broncos trailed the Raiders late in the first half, but a speech by John Elway seemed to inspire the team. Bradley Roby intercepted a pass which led to a touchdown. Then C.J. Anderson broke through for big gains and a score. In the second half, the Broncos went on a 35-0 run to dismantle the Raiders and win going away. Peyton Manning threw 5 touchdowns as the Broncos seemed to find their form again after Elway's motivational message.

Following a less足than足average performance against the New England Patriots a week ago in Foxboro, the Denver Broncos got back to their regular brand of football in Oakland this past Sunday. Despite trailing 10足6 towards the end of the first half, the mojo was felt on the sideline of the visiting Broncos who were given a speech by John Elway prior to the game. A dialogue of having a championship attitude was presented to the team, something that needs to be delivered every so often to keep goals clear. While much of what was said is unknown, it must have worked pretty well. The Raiders were driving late in the second half, with the lead, when rookie cornerback, Bradley Roby intercepted QB Derek Carr with just under 4 minutes left. Three snaps later, Peyton Manning dumped the ball to back足up, C.J. Anderson who took it 51 yards for a touchdown and placed the team in the lead. Just two minutes later Anderson broke through Raiders defense twice for big gains to set up Manning for a touchdown pass to Emmanuel Sanders. With the lead and momentum at the half the Broncos then went on to dismantle the Raiders. over the course of 17 minutes of gameplay, Denver went on a 35足0 run and never looked back. Manning finished with 5 touchdowns on the day as Julius Thomas finished with two receptions, pushing his league leading total to 12 touchdowns on the year. It is safe to say that whatever was said in that locker room meeting, the message was clear and agreed upon by the Denver unit. Being the second half of the regular season, it is time for them to ramp up the intensity and attention to detail, true to the championship form they are striving for. The Broncos will continue on their road trip facing the St. Louis Rams next, in St. Louis.
