1990 9/7 Denver Broncos v Oakland Raiders Football Ticket The Opening Day Shootout
September 7, 1986—Denver 38, Los Angeles 36
On opening day of the 86-87 NFL season the Broncos opened at home against the hated Raiders.
What ensued was one of the great opening day games in NFL history.
Raiders quarterback Marc Wilson threw for 346 yards and three touchdowns. Running back Marcus Allen ran for 102 yards and a touchdown and caught six passes for an additional 102 yards.
But it would be a losing cause, as John Elway threw for 239 yards and two touchdowns as well as catching a 23 yard pass from running back Steve Sewell.
Trailing 36-31 John Elway hit Bronco running back Gene Lang with a 7-yard pass over the middle to give the Broncos the lead.
However, there were nearly ten minutes remaining in the game. The Broncos defense finally rose to the occasion stopping the Raiders twice and preserving the win for Denver.
