OAKLAND, Calif. -- Instead of basking in the teams biggest win in more than a decade, the Oakland Raiders know that beating the defending Super Bowl champions on a prime-time stage wont mean much if it isnt followed up by more significant victories down the stretch.The formula the Raiders used to knock off the Denver Broncos 30-20 on Sunday night to take over sole possession of first place in the AFC West could help lead to the sort of success Oakland has lacked for years.We know we cant look at this game as something thats going to define us or define the season, running back Latavius Murray said. We have to continue to go out there and work hard and were going to have to earn every game we play.They did just that against Denver. Murray ran for 114 yards and three touchdowns to pace a rushing attack that gained 218 yards against one of the NFLs stingiest defenses.It shows us that we should be able to run the ball against anybody, quarterback Derek Carr said. They are the best. They are.Oaklands previously porous defense befuddled rookie Trevor Siemian and bottled up Denvers run game. And it was the Raiders who were more poised than the Broncos, who committed 12 penalties -- many that helped extend Oakland drives.Its not like we won the championship or they won the championship today, Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. said. Theres still a lot of football left to play, and weve just got to get back to business.But by dominating the trenches and controlling the clock for 41:28, the Raiders were able to expose a weakness in Denvers otherwise stellar defense.Thats something that we have to fix, Harris said. Its been leaky pretty much all season. So we have to figure that out and really put an emphasis on that, and get back to doing what we do.Here are some other takeaways from the game:DEFENSIVE TURNAROUND: After being unable to stop almost anyone to start the season, the Raiders defense has picked it up of late. Oakland held Tampa Bay under 300 yards of offense in an overtime win last week and limited Denver to just 299 on Sunday. Oakland set the tone by forcing Denver into three-and-outs on the first four possessions.We dont want to depend on the offense, safety Reggie Nelson said. Theyve been carrying us for a while. It was big for our defense. It was nice to get out there and win.GROUNDED: The Broncos once again struggled to run the ball with leading rusher C.J. Anderson sidelined by a knee injury . Rookie running back Devontae Booker was held to 22 yards on 10 carries, and Denver ran for just 33 yards on 12 attempts against what had been one of the leagues worst run defenses the first half of the season. It was the least productive game for the Broncos on the ground since they were held to 28 yards on 10 carries in a loss to St. Louis on Nov. 16, 2014. Booker has run for just 76 yards on 29 carries in two games since Anderson went on IR.Weve got to find a way to run the football somehow, some way, to help our football team, coach Gary Kubiak said. Obviously the last two weeks its been pretty much non-existent.STAND UP: Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall ended his season-long protest of the national anthem. Marshall began kneeling for the anthem for the season opener and did it the first eight games, following the lead of his former college teammate, 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. But Marshall decided before this game it was time to stand up again.I helped bring awareness to what Kaepernick had started and it was time for me, not to move on but to stand up. Im still doing things, Marshall said.UP NEXT: The Broncos head to New Orleans next week to play the Saints, while the Raiders get the week off before traveling to Mexico City to take on Houston.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFLWholesale Custom Jerseys .

He was diagnosed with a mild disk herniation but had a setback when he participated in a simulated game shortly after the All-Star break.Kershaws move to the 60-day DL is not an indication of a new setback. He is eligible to return Aug. 27, but the Dodgers did not expect him back before that date anyway.Its more of a logistical-type move in that he wasnt going to be ready before then, manager Dave Roberts said. To get him on the 60-day, hes still doing his exercises and his progressions. Hopefully hell be back sooner than later.Roberts did indicate, though, that Kershaw still hasnt resumed baseball activities after his mid-July setback. The Dodgers have 56 games remaining in the regular season.By moving Kershaw to the 60-day DL, the Dodgers were able to open a spot on the 40-man roster to add right-handed reliever Josh Fields, acquired from the Houston Astros at Mondays non-waiver trade deadline. Fields was also added to the active roster, along with pitchers Julio Urias and Brock Stewartt.ddddddddddddThe Dodgers placed two players on the disabled list Wednesday: right-hander Luis Coleman (right shoulder fatigue) and left-hander Adam Liberatore (left elbow inflammation). Outfielder Andrew Toles was optioned back to Triple-A Oklahoma City.Kershaw was 11-2 with a 1.79 ERA and in the midst of a historic season after his first 16 starts. He had 145 strikeouts at the time -- which is only now tied for first in the majors -- and only nine walks and still easily leads the Dodgers in strikeouts even though he hasnt pitched in more than a month.Last week, Kershaw said he was hopeful to make a return this season and have an impact down the stretch, but the Dodgers have no guarantees that he will return this season.Asked when Kershaw would have to resume baseball activities in order to be able to pitch again this season, Roberts said, I think were taking the approach of, hes going to get back as soon as he can.When hes able to pick up a baseball [to start playing catch], at that point and time well see where were at and if its even feasible, he said. But we expect it to work. Weve been reluctant with Clayton to give him a deadline or a timetable or anything like that. ' ' '
