In many cases, I'm looking at players who are struggling to find time for one team who could be a useful fit on another. -- Michael Rothstein, Next game: vs. Steelers (Sunday, 1 p.m. With the run-heavy Ravens next week, the Broncos need some complementary football -- as in an offense that at least eats some time when it doesn't score any points -- or their defense will get pulled down into the losing swirl as well.

Ravens get: RB David Montgomery Especially with Josh Jacobs carrying the offense at Seattle with 303 total scrimmage yards -- the most in a game in Raiders history -- and the defense doing just enough. Michael Pittman Jr. said Indianapolis expected different kinds of matchups, but the Steelers deployed a two-deep safety alignment that prevented Indianapolis from stretching the field.

Crosby has four of the Raiders' five sacks -- cornerback Nate Hobbs has the other -- and while that's a good early return on Las Vegas' four-year, $98.98 million investment via the extension Crosby got this offseason, the Raiders need more from the defensive line in general, Chandler Jones in particular.
