DENVER — Kicker Daniel Carlson missed a potential game-tying 48-yard field goal wide right with 4:30 remaining and the Raiders lost 10-7 to the Broncos on Thursday at Empower Field at Mile High.

Carlson’s miss was fitting in an ugly game that featured plenty of mistakes from both sides.

Raiders quarterback Geno Smith threw his NFL-leading 12th interception, but also showed his toughness on a night when offensive linemen Jackson Powers-Johnson and Dylan Parham suffered ankle injuries. Smith, who was sacked six times and hit 11 times, suffered a quad injury 12 seconds into the fourth quarter on a scramble.

He missed only one play but could not lead his team to a comeback. The Raiders (2-7) lost for the seventh time in eight games, while the Broncos (8-2) won their seventh straight.
