'Kind of Crazy!' Raiders' Josh Jacobs Runs Through Seahawks Hearts in 40-34 in OT Loss: Live Game Updates
The Seattle Seahawks came out their bye week after a disappointing loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Munich hoping for a better outcome in a meeting Sunday at Lumen Field against the Las Vegas Raiders.
That hope was not fulfilled.
“It’s kind of crazy, coming in and not knowing if I was going to play, looking the guys in the eyes and telling them they’re going to get everything they’ve got in me,” said Josh Jacobs, who’d been listed as questionable for the game with a calf injury. ... but then crushed Seattle with one of the great running back performances of all-time.
Jacobs finished with a franchise-record 229 yards rushing and two TDs. He also had six catches for 74 yards, and his 303 yards from scrimmage are the seventh-most in a game in the Super Bowl era. ... all of it capped by his sprint of 86 yards for a game-ending touchdown as Raiders won in overtime, beating the Seahawks 40-34.
And here's how it all unfolded ...
Coming in, the Raiders were a team falling into No. 1 pick territory, so it might seem like an easy opportunity for the NFC West-leading Seahawks ... but Vegas has talent capable of beating any opponent.
Vegas' offense is star-studded with guys like receiver Davante Adams and running back Josh Jacobs. But for Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith, he's not taking the Raiders' defense lightly, one that features some big names as well.
"We have to be on top of every single part of our game and make sure that we are communicating and executing to the best of our ability," Smith said.
Smith had to name a few of the high-level defenders he'll have to avoid in order to secure a win for the Seahawks coming out of the bye week.
“I see a really talented defense," Smith said. "It starts up front, Maxx Crosby is one of the better defensive ends in the game. They have Chandler Jones, another monster defensive end. I’ve been playing him for what feels like my whole life. They are really stout up front."
Live updates will appear below at kickoff.
