Buster: WR Marcell Ateman

Ateman was given a season-high 52 snaps to fill in for the injured Tyrell Williams. He had 3 catches on 7 targets with a fumble. The fumble came on his longest catch of the day. It gave the Broncos the ball at the Oakland 41 and they scored their only touchdown to take a 10-3 lead at the half.

Midway through the fourth quarter, Carr threw Ateman’s way on what would have been a tough catch, but one he has to make. He didn’t.

The next possession, on what looked to be the Raiders’ last chance to score, Carr threw for Ateman on 2nd and four and he dropped it. Two plays later, the drive was over. To his credit, Ateman did make the biggest catch on the final bonus drive, catching an 11-yard pass on the left sideline on 4th and 2 and got out of bounds to stop the clock.
