This was a crucial game for the Raiders, as they entered this week with an 0-3 record. A loss against Denver in Week 4 could have essentially ended any postseason hopes the Raiders may have had. In what was a back-and-forth game all afternoon, Jacobs finally helped put the Broncos away with a 7-yard scamper late in the 4th.
THAT’S ✌️ FOR @iAM_JoshJacobs!
BACK to a two-score lead.
