Oakland Raiders stun the Chicago Bears in London, 24-21
By Brad Weiss
Three Stars
1. Josh Jacobs, Oakland Raiders
The rookie running back was as good as advertised on Sunday, as the draft pick the Raiders got for Khalil Mack ended up being the difference maker against the former Raider. Jacobs rushed for 100 yards, the first running back to rush for 100 or more against the Bears since last season, and capped the game off with the game-winning touchdown, his second of the day.
2. Allen Robinson II, Chicago Bears
In a game where the Bears had to roll with their backup quarterback, wide receiver Allen Robinson II continued to put his team on his back all game long. He hauled in two touchdowns, that is true, but it was the huge catches he made throughout the game that nearly landed the Bears the victory in this one.
3. Raiders offensive and defensive lines
On the offensive side of the ball, the Raiders offensive line kept Mack and the Bears pass rush at bay, as Carr was given time to throw all afternoon. On defense, guys like Benson Mayowa, Maurice Hurst, and Maxx Crosby all made their presence felt, combining for four sacks, as the Raiders put pressure on Chase Daniel all game long.
