The Denver Broncos fell to the Oakland Raiders on Sunday night in an ugly, frustrating, demoralizing game for the Orange & Blue. The second loss to the Raiders in their last ten meetings leaves the Broncos in third place in the division, behind the Raiders (7-2) and the Chiefs (6-2).

While a tough loss, it is only Week 9, and Denver will see the two teams in front of them in three more contests this season. According to some of the Broncos, though, you wouldn’t have guessed that from the way the Raiders reacted to the win.

“Those guys out there were celebrating like they won a Super Bowl,” Kapri Bibbs told KOA after the game. “It’s one game, and it’s a long season. We get to see them again in a couple of weeks, and we’ll definitely be ready fo them.”

Even Raiders head coach and former Broncos defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio was seen after the game throwing fist pump after fist pump as he exited the field. Of course, no team wants to see their opponent celebrating, but this postgame in particular definitely rubbed the Broncos the wrong way.

“It doesn’t matter—they didn’t win no championship—they don’t got no Lombardi,” T.J. Ward remarked to KOA. “They won a game. Alright, we’ll see you next time.”

The Broncos will get another chance at the Raiders, on New Year’s Day, Week 17, a game that almost certainly will have massive playoff implications. Until then, Denver will attempt to keep their championship attitude, an attitude they earned, something they weren’t afraid of reminding anyone about on Sunday.

“He was saying that we’re a team full of Champions, 85 percent of this team won Super Bowl rings,” Bibbs said of Kubiak’s message to the team. “He told us that nobody won a championship today and nobody lost a championship today which is absolutely the truth.”

Despite the Raiders’ celebration, that is the truth, but it doesn’t mean the game didn’t have a large impact. The Broncos now find themselves behind the eight ball in the division they’ve won five years in a row. They’ll have plenty of opportunities to make their move, but as injuries pile up next to issues, it’s certainly time for a long look in the mirror.
