Broncos try to deny Raiders AFC West title (Yahoo Sports)

The Oakland Raiders are coming to terms with the loss of quarterback Derek Carr even as they gear up for their playoff run without him. Seldom-used backup Matt McGloin, making his first start since 2013, is set to take the field Sunday against the Denver Broncos (8-7) in place of Carr, who is out indefinitely after breaking his right leg in last week's victory over Indianapolis. "I think we all kind of went through that period of reflection on Derek and him going down," Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said.
