Josh Jacobs Runs Wild in Oakland Raiders' Stunning Win
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs has emerged as a rising star in the NFL, leading the league in rushing yards and touchdowns through the first four weeks of the season.
In the Raiders' 31-28 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, Jacobs rushed for 144 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries. He also caught two passes for 20 yards.
Jacobs' performance was a continuation of his impressive start to the season. In the Raiders' first three games, he rushed for 308 yards and four touchdowns on 57 carries.
Jacobs' success is a major reason for the Raiders' 3-1 start. He is averaging 123.3 rushing yards per game, which is second in the NFL behind only Christian McCaffrey of the Carolina Panthers.
Jacobs is also tied for the NFL lead in rushing touchdowns with four. He is the first Raiders player to have at least four rushing touchdowns in the first four games of a season since Marcus Allen in 1985.
Jacobs' success is a testament to his hard work and dedication. He is a physical runner who is not afraid to lower his shoulder and take on contact. He also has good vision and balance, which allows him to make defenders miss in the open field.
Jacobs is a major reason for the Raiders' success this season. He is a young player with a bright future. If he continues to play at this level, he could be one of the best running backs in the NFL.
Here are some additional highlights from Jacobs' performance against the Colts:
- He had a 47-yard run in the first quarter that set up a Raiders touchdown.
- He scored a 1-yard touchdown run in the second quarter to give the Raiders a 14-7 lead.
- He had a 27-yard run in the third quarter that helped set up another Raiders touchdown.
- He scored a 2-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to give the Raiders a 31-21 lead.
