Josh Jacobs Stymied By Vikings Defense
5 years agoOakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs struggled to get anything going in the team's Week 3 loss to the Vikings. He picked up 44 yards on 10 carries while failing to haul in either of his two targets in the passing game. With the team playing from behind for the entirety of the game, Jacobs wasn't relied upon as often with the offense in pass-mode. Jacobs remains the bell cow back, but his ceiling is capped on a team that likely won't need to run the ball more than 25 times in a game very often. The rookie will get a more favorable matchup in Week 4 against a Colts Defense that has struggled to stop the run this season.
