Breaking down the inconsistent officiating from the week 9 matchup between the Denver Broncos and the Baltimore Ravens

In the Denver Broncos 41-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens there were 15 accepted penalties and one challenge. Anyone watching this game could see that the officials played an inconsistent and big role in the outcome of the game.

What's a Personal Foul?

The inconsistencies in personal fouls in this game frustrated me. Baron Browning was called for tripping (a personal foul) for an effort that after replay its not clear had any intention, and definitely had no impact. Kediron Smith...

We’ll see how Las Vegas head coach handles staff reset and what progress team can make in wake of changes

Fed up with what he saw in the nine games that resulted in his football team sporting a 2-7 record, Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce didn’t waste time.

In the wake of the team’s 41-24 road loss at the Cincinnati Bengals this past Sunday, Pierce made the decision to dismiss offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, offensive line coach James Cregg, and quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello.

Wait, Pierce made the decision?, you may be asking.

According to the head coach...

The Denver Broncos haven’t been too severely impacted by injuries this season, and that’s been one of their more promising developments since Beau Lowery took over as the team’s VP of Player Health and Performance.

A much needed bye week for the Raiders and Raider Nation

We made it to the bye week! While the Las Vegas Raiders are off in Week 10, we’re still going strong with our picks around the NFL and, of course, Silver and Black Pride’s Pick’em competition. The first half of the regular season is officially in the books so things are heading up.

Pick’em Competition

With no Raiders game this weekend, we’ll jump right into S&BP’s Pick’em competition. Below is a look at how our writers have fared through nine weeks.

Rookie had a very good game in his first start at center

During his first six NFL games, Las Vegas Raiders rookie Jackson Powers-Johnson showed flashes of brilliance but lacked consistency down-to-down. However, after moving to his more natural position at center in Week 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals, Powers-Johnson made a resounding statement by putting together his best performance yet.

The Oregon product earned an elite 90.6 overall grade from Pro Football Focus, the highest mark of any center last week and third-best among offensive linemen regardless of position. He was dominant as a run-blocker, earning a 91.7 grade...

The Denver Broncos are in a good position with rookie quarterback Bo Nix, who has exceeded expectations this season as a player, and he’s hoping the team can find a way to bounce back this week as they prepare for another AFC West showdown, this time against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs.

Denver Broncos Bo Nix eager that team will respond following Ravens loss

When the NFL schedule released back in May, nearly everybody in the world penciled Week 9 and Week 10 as losses for the Denver Broncos. They dropped Week 9’s matchup against the Baltimore Ravens and...

The Chargers reinforced their pass rush with a versatile chess piece in Jalon Walker, who can also play off the ball.

Prior to the 2024 season, the Chargers managed to retain both Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa who each chose to take a pay cut to stat together under first-year defensive coordinator Jesse Minter. The decision has firmly paid off as both have played roles in helping the Chargers to the number one scoring defense in the NFL.

Obviously Bosa hasn’t played nearly as much as Mack due to lingering injuries, but he’s nonetheless been an impact player when healthy...

Let’s see what AP staffers (and readers) think about Sunday’s game between Kansas City and Denver.

Before the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 9 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, our panel of Arrowhead Pride contributors combined to predict a 31-17 Kansas City victory, which was 16 points removed from the 30-24 final: it missed the point spread by 8, the Chieiefs’ score by 1 and the Buccaneers’ score by 7.

Only one of our staffers thought the game would be close; about two-thirds thought the Chiefs would win easily. Our readers were a little closer to the mark. [*About a...

Fans who have witnessed the “long drive” drills in St Joseph now understand the importance.

The Kansas City Chiefs come off of two of their best offensive performances of the season as they prepare to welcome the Denver Broncos to Arrowhead on Sunday. A major part of that success is outstanding play on third downs.

Against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Monday night’s overtime victory, the Chiefs converted two-thirds of their third-down opportunities (12 of 18), including all four touchdowns scored. Speaking before Wednesday’s practice, quarterback Patrick Mahomes credited Kansas City’s efficient run game for setting up advantageous situations on...

On “Monday Night Football,” Kansas City’s offense was lethal on third down — especially in the red zone.

In Week 9, the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 30-24 on “Monday Night Football” on GEHA Field Arrowhead Stadium.

While it was a narrow overtime victory, Kansas City’s offensive domination on third down drove the win. The team converted 12 of 18 third-down attempts, in which quarterback Patrick Mahomes was 11 for 13 with three touchdown passes.

In the game’s most critical downs, the Chiefs flexed their new offensive muscles.

The Denver Broncos stood pat for two straight seasons at the NFL Trade Deadline, and there’s a good reason for it — Sean Payton is looking to build the Broncos roster and the foundation of a team he believes can compete.
