With the Broncos marching down the field Sunday, Raiders newcomer Rashaan Melvin chose a good time to haul in his first interception in Silver and Black.
Denver quarterback Case Keenum underthrew tight end Jake Butt, and Melvin looked more like a wide receiver when he high-pointed the ball to secure a turnover for Oakland.

The Raiders signed Melvin to a one-year, $6.5 million contract in March. After intercepting zero passes in the first 27 games of his career, the cornerback now has four in his last 12.
The Raiders failed to score on the ensuing drive, but less than a week after a 33-13 loss to the Rams, coach Jon Gruden will take preserving a lead any way he can get it.
