Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders: 3 Things we learned in Week 10

Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders: 3 Things we learned in Week 10

Josh Jacobs and Devontae Booker are the best running back duo in the league

We all knew what we were getting in Josh Jacobs this year.  As a rookie first round pick out of Alabama, Jacobs ran for over 1,000 yards last year despite missing the last few games due to injury.  Robbed of the Rookie of the Year award because they wanted to give it to the first overall pick, and even though his running vision and tackle breaking ability is other worldly he still vowed to get better in the pass game so he didn’t need to leave the field on third downs that’s the type of player you need on your team.

He totaled 136 yards and two touchdowns Sunday as he ran through the Broncos defense like a hot knife through butter, and it was a joy to watch.  Fans didn’t know what to expect from Devontae Booker on the other hand when he signed with the team this offseason.  He was drafted by the Denver Broncos and played sparingly.

Then he comes to the Raiders with much chagrin to Raider fans, but he has surprised all of Raider Nation with his play backing up Jacobs so far this year leading to this game where he ran for 81 yards and two touchdowns of his own against his former team.  There is no better running back duo in the league then these two, and they continue to prove it every week.
