Josh Jacobs didn't get a lot of love from the Las Vegas Raiders coming into his fourth season.
His fifth-year option was declined, even though he had a good first few seasons as a first-round pick. Usually when a team declines the fifth-year option on a first-round pick's rookie contract, it's an indication that player hasn't lived up to their draft billing. That decision by the Raiders might be a great one for Jacobs after all.
Jacobs is having a great season and had perhaps the biggest play of his career on Sunday. In overtime, Jacobs went through the middle and burst into the secondary, outrunning the Seahawks defense for a dramatic 86-yard touchdown and a 40-34 win. Jacobs will be a free agent this offseason, due to the Raiders declining that option. He might strike it big.The Raiders traded for Davante Adams in the offseason but have built a lot of their offense around Jacobs.
Jacobs has been up to it. He had 229 yards and two touchdowns in the Raiders' win on Sunday. His touchdown run came after Las Vegas' first drive in overtime stalled, then the same happened to the Seahawks and they punted. The Raiders were looking at the possibility of a long overtime drive for a game-winning field goal attempt when Jacobs just took care of it himself.
