7. Jacobs rushes for 200+ yards for first time in NFL career

Don’t look now, but the Oakland Raiders are heating up at the right time, and thanks to some recent struggles by the Kansas City Chiefs, Jon Gruden’s team is making a surprise push for the AFC West title.

Moving ahead of the Chiefs certainly won’t be easy since Patrick Mahomes is one of a kind, but the Raiders appear to be playing with all of the confidence in the world at the moment.

To top it off, Oakland has one of the easiest games in Week 11 against a Cincinnati Bengals team that has yet to win a single game in 2019, and will most likely see that unfortunate streak continue heading into the final weekend of November.

Even though most of the attention on offense will be focused on Derek Carr, Josh Jacobs could turn out to be the biggest star on offense for the Raiders in this one against the Bengals.

After watching how easy the Baltimore Ravens made it look last Sunday by constantly running the football, why wouldn’t Oakland take advantage by doing the same with a running back on the rise in Jacobs?

With 811 rushing yards to his name already, Jacobs could officially top the 1,000-yard rushing mark on the season with a monster game to help Oakland defeat Cincinnati.
