Raiders...31 Broncos...10
DENVER — Ashley Lelie and the Oakland Raiders got their revenge on the Denver Broncos.
The deep-threat receiver who forced a trade out of Denver in 2006 after a bitter holdout returned to Invesco Field and helped lead the Raiders to a stunning 31-10 win over the Broncos by catching a touchdown pass and setting up another with a spectacular 51-yard reception.
Rookie Darren McFadden ran for two one-yard touchdowns, and the Raiders (3-8) ended a losing streak at four games and avenged their 41-14 thrashing at the hands of the Broncos (6-5) in the season opener.
Lelie’s long catch set up McFadden’s first score, which broke a 10-10 tie in the third quarter and ended a 15-quarter drought for Oakland’s offense.
Quoteworthy: “I’ve been dreaming for this moment ever since I left here.” -- Ashley Lelie, Raiders receiver and former Bronco
