Problem: Hoping to snap a two-game losing streak, the Broncos remained on home ground for an AFC West duel against the Oakland Raiders. The Broncos grabbed the early lead, with quarterback Peyton Manning throwing a 22-yard touchdown pass to tight end Joel Dreessen. The Raiders responded, with a 38-yard field goal by placekicker Sebastian Janikowski, but the Broncos countered, with a 21-yard field goal by placekicker Matt Prater at the end of the first quarter. A 24-yard field goal by Janikowski just before halftime was the only scoring play of the second quarter. The Broncos' offense exploded in the third quarter, with Manning connecting on a 17-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Eric Decker, followed by a 2-yard touchdown run by running back Willis McGahee and a 14-yard touchdown pass from Manning to running back Lance Ball. Prater added field goals of 43 and 53 yards in the fourth quarter. With the win, the Broncos snapped a four-game home losing streak against the Raiders. Center J. D. Walton suffered a dislocated ankle late in the second quarter, and was placed on the season-ending injured reserve the following day (October 1).

In the first quarter, St. Louis got on the board first with QB Marc Bulger completing a 12-yard TD pass to WR Torry Holt for the only score of the period. In the second quarter, the 49ers tied the game up with RB Frank Gore getting a 1-yard TD run. The Rams would respond with kicker Jeff Wilkins getting a 27 and a 29-yard field goal. In the third quarter, San Francisco took the lead with Gore getting an amazing 43-yard TD run for the only score of the period.
