The Raiders, trailing 20-17 going into the 4th quarter against the Houston Texans, scored twenty-one unanswered points to finally close out a game in dominant fashion. Thanks to RB Josh Jacob's rushing extravaganza of 143 yards and 3 touchdowns, the silver and black offense looked balanced and unstoppable. Credit the offensive line for one helluva day opening holes, pushing the Texans defensive line into submission.
Meanwhile, the Carr to Adams connection was alive and well with Davante hauling in 8 receptions for 95-yards. Hunter Renfrow was back and made his presence felt. Can't wait to get tight end Darren Waller back in the offensive lineup.
As for the defense, they had their first pick-six interception in God knows how long. A Duron Harmon 74-yard snag and romp. After bending all day, they finally stepped up in the fourth quarter to finish off a pesky opponent.
This might have been the best overall game played by the Raiders this season. The coaching was at its best with adjustments to the passing game (short checkdown passes) and sticking with a heavy dose of Josh Jacobs handoffs. If the Raiders can get healthier on defense and solidify their DB coverage play, they might be able to turn this season around.
Good Game Raiders!
Just Win Baby!
