Las Vegas Raiders at Denver Broncos: 3 Surprises from Week 6
Kenyan Drake’s production
Kenyan Drake has been a topic of conversation for the Raiders ever since he got signed this offseason to a two-year $11 million contract. I was a fan of the move for two reasons.
First, because Josh Jacobs has been hurt for the two previous seasons he has been with the Raiders and needs a competent back to split carries with, and secondly because when he was the lead back for the Arizona Cardinals the last couple of seasons he was responsible for many explosive plays.
In this game, he showed that capability scoring two touchdowns, one rushing, and one receiving, and accumulating 73 total yards in the process. This is needless to say Drake’s best game as a Raider so far this season, and hopefully, this is something the Raiders can build on.
