VIDEO: Alabama Rookie Josh Jacobs Scores First NFL TD to Extend Raiders' Lead
By Sam Dunn
With no Antonio Brown in Oakland -- yeah, remember that? -- there are all the more touchdowns to go around in Jon Gruden's offense. Enter first-year running back Josh Jacobs, who took the rock deep in the red zone with a 7-0 lead and gave the Raiders their second touchdown of the evening against the visiting Broncos.
Jacobs, a first-round pick out of Alabama, has a chance to be a key performer for this team. With the situation around the team in various levels of disarray throughout the offseason, his ability to take some heat off Derek Carr will make for a welcome addition to the Silver and Black's bag of tricks.
