Raiders RB Josh Jacobs wins award for dominant Week 1 performance

After only one game into the 2020 season, Josh Jacobs is already racking up the awards. The latest award is the SNICKERS Hungriest Player of the Week for his dominant performance in Week 1.

Jacobs totaled 139 yards and three touchdowns in a Week 1 win over the Carolina Panthers. He scored the game-winning touchdown late in the fourth quarter as the Panthers didn’t have an answer for him on the ground.

Jacobs showed off his Week 1 award on Instagram, donning an impressive SNICKERS chain. According to famed jeweler Ben Baller, the chain includes more than 31 carats of 2,374 brilliant-cut diamonds, blue sapphires and red rubies.

Jacobs is arguably the best player on the Raiders’ roster and the goal is to feed him 20 or more touches each week. If he can have this type of success in Week 2 against the  Saints, it wouldn’t be that surprising if Las Vegas upsets New Orleans on Monday Night Football.

Through 14 career games, Jacobs has totaled more than 1,400 yards and 10 touchdowns. He’s on pace to become one of the league’s best overall running backs and should approach 1,600 total yards this season, provided he stays healthy.
