The Denver Broncos start off the 2019 season by traveling to Oakland to face the Raiders. What are some things I’d like to see in the matchup?

When the Denver Broncos face the Oakland Raiders on Monday Night Football, it will be the first time that many players step into a meaningful football game for Denver.

This is where things get real. They get serious. Everything that the team has been working towards the past couple of months starts tonight.

As the team kicks off their 2019 season, it is important to remember that this is a division game. all games are important, but division games are the most important as they could potentially be considered when it comes to tie-breakers for the playoffs.

Both teams have some new faces and will look to integrate them into their gameplan. Some players will be familiar to their opponent, while some will be 100% new.

For the rookies, they had a chance to get their feet wet (but not frostbitten) in five preseason games. Now is the real deal and some will get to see extended playing time as they have climbed the depth chart.

Now, what are some of the things that we should look for in the first of two matchups against Oakland?
