4 reasons the Raiders will beat the Bengals in the Wild Card round

Josh Jacobs

Last Week, Josh Jacobs went to the coaches and told them that he is the closer, and to let him close the game out and carry the team to victory they did then he did. Jacobs has had a tumultuous third year in the NFL with this being the first year of his career that he hasn’t rushed for 1,000 yards.

But Josh did finish the season with 1,220 scrimmage yards and nine rushing touchdowns. Jacobs combined for 872 rushing yards and 348 receiving yards, which was a career-high, and Jacobs has just been a straight beast during this four-game winning streak and due to his injuries earlier this season and the usage of Kenyan Drake before his injury and Peyton Barber as Drake’s replacement this is the latest that Jacobs has been healthy in his career too.

The weather in Cincinnati this season is looking to be cold and snowy makes for perfect conditions for Josh Jacobs to once again tote that rock and lead Las Vegas to their first playoff victory in 20 years.
