WATCH: No Raiders defender can slow down Demaryius Thomas

It's been a rough statistical season for the Broncos' top receiver, Demaryius Thomas.

He's still top receiver, though. And the ball just knows how to find him -- like on this tipped grab vs. the Raiders at Mile High Stadium on Sunday:

Thomas actually gained an advantage when Brock Osweiler's pass was tipped sky high. He's 6-foot-3; no one on the Raiders defense can out-jump him.

No one on Oakland's defense can tackle him, either. It took a gang of Silver and Black-clad players to drag No. 88 down on this red-zone toss:

Some receivers might dog it with a playoff spot sealed up. Not Thomas -- and he deserves some credit for that.

Osweiler throws a pass. Ball hits Raiders D-Lineman's hand. Ball travels 20 feet in the air. Demaryius: Got it! https://t.co/gkJDGvuqUG
