NFL Scores Week 9, Broncos Vs. Raiders: Willis McGahee, Eddie Royal Upstage Tim Tebow Show In 38-24 Denver Win
Tim Tebow got his third win as a starter in Week 9. He can thank Willis McGahee and Eddie Royal for that.
McGahee ran for 163 yards and two touchdowns, and Royal zipped 85 yards on a go-ahead punt return touchdown in the fourth quarter as the Broncos rallied from a 17-7 halftime deficit for their third win on the season.
Tebow played well, throwing for 124 yards and two touchdowns and running for another 115 yards, but he completed fewer than half of his attempts on the day. And of Denver’s 21 unanswered points to close the game, Tebow scored zero.
The Raiders got a much better outing from Carson Palmer than his first in silver and black; Palmer threw for 312 yards and three touchdowns, but also threw three interceptions. Michael Bush ran for 96 yards in the loss.
The win pushes Denver to 3-5 on the year. Oakland falls to 4-4 with the loss.
