The ground game seems to be the Las Vegas Raiders' kryptonite, and that continued on Sunday after Joe Mixon ran for two touchdowns and 123 yards on 33 carries. As for the  Raiders, they only accounted for 72 total rushing yards, 37 of which were contributed by Joshua Jacobs. Kenyan Drake only accounted for 23 yards, forcing them to rely on the passing game again. More on the disaster that was Derek Carr's day later, for now let's focus on what this means for the team's future.

The Raiders don't seem to be able to defend against the run game or utilize it themselves at this point in the season, giving them very little chance of a playoff run. This is a very troubling trend and might have the team looking for a new running back in the future.
