Josh Jacobs is the BamaCentral Crimson Tide Pro Athlete of the Week

In a game where the Las Vegas Raiders needed its star tailback Josh Jacobs to deliver due to weather conditions that affected the passing game, he did, totaling a career-high 128 yards on a career-high 31 carries against the Cleveland Browns in a 16-6 victory.
Because of Jacobs' efforts on the ground, the Browns were held to only six drives while the Raiders had dominated time of possession, 37:43 to 22:17. Without this former Alabama standout, it would have been hard for Las Vegas to eek out a victory on the road.
Jacobs is the BamaCentral Crimson Tide Pro Athlete of the Week for a second time this season with the first coming for his three-touchdown performance against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1.
Honorable mention
- Despite the loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, Derrick Henry recorded 18 carries for 112 yards and a touchdown.
- Damien Harris was the third former Crimson Tide tailback to go over 100 yards on Sunday. He had 102 yards on 16 attempts and a touchdown in the New England Patriots's 24-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
- Julio Jones put on a show last Thursday night with eight catches for 137 yards in the Atlanta Falcons 25-17 win against the Carolina Panthers.
- Denver Broncos cornerback Kareem Jackson tallied a career-high 12 tackles in a comeback win over the Los Angeles Chargers.
- Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs' two interceptions against the Philadelphia Eagles were the first of his career. He also had four passes defended.
