Josh Jacobs vs. Chargers run defense

The Raiders play another team that ranks in the bottom half of the league in rushing defense, meaning the Raiders will more than likely feed Josh Jacobs all game once again. Jacobs is coming off a huge week against Detroit, where he carried the ball 28 times.

Jacobs has proven to be the best offensive rookie in the league game after game, but Sunday he showed he may be one of the best backs in the entire league altogether. Jacobs rushed for 120 yards and two touchdowns, controlling the pace of the entire game.

The Chargers have a dangerous offense, and a solid pass defense, as well, so it will be important to run the ball all game long with Jacobs. If the Raiders can move the ball on the ground and keep Philip Rivers off the field for as long as possible, the Raiders will have a great chance to win this game.
