Winner: RB Josh Jacobs

The central bright spot every week for the Raiders offense is the impressive rookie Josh Jacobs. Jacobs came to play today and tried to carry the attack on its back, but it wasn’t enough as the team was still blown out 40-9.

Jacobs finished the game with 17 carries for 104 yards, which added up to 6.1 yards per carry. Jacobs was active early breaking tackles and creating yards after contract, which has been his specialty all season up to this point.

The most impressive run of the day was the 35 yarder off the quick toss, where Jacobs displayed explosiveness and burst into the second level for a considerable gain.

Jacobs still appears to be dealing with a shoulder injury as well, which makes his performances even better when added to the equation. Jacobs is ending up being worth every ounce of the first-round pick that Mike Mayock decided to use on former Alabama running back. Now it’s time for the rest of the offense to show up after missing for two games.
