The Las Vegas Raiders did a lot of things wrong on Sunday, but not being able to get the ground game going had to be their most damning. Not only is that evident by how it forced Derek Carr into throwing more than he needed to, but it also showed just how ineffective Joshua Jacobs and Kenyan Drake can be against top opponents. Derek Carr even outran both of them with three runs that resulted in a total of 18 yards. It didn't help much, but at least Carr was trying something.
Jacobs only had seven carries for 16 yards and an average of 2.3 yards per gain. As if that wasn't bad enough, Kenyan Drake only accounted for four carries for 16 yards, giving the duo a grand total of 32 yards combined. The Raiders need to work on their ground game!
