Break-down Week 9 (JAX Jaguars)

The main culprit for the Raiders success this week even in a loss was seeing an offense more productive in multiple phases, especially seeing Brock Bowers back. It was great to see the defense play well and prevent an advance from the other team's rushing attack. Let's see if the Raiders can pull as much from this as they can to get after the Broncos in a Thursday night matchup this week.

Most-Telling Performances Week 9

The biggest contributor to the Raiders this week was TE Brock Bowers, who finished with 12 catches and 127 yards. He also caught 3 TD passes from Geno Smith. He has electrified the Raiders offense when completely healthy, and is showing his unbelievable playmaking ability.

Getting a Back on Track (Vol. 7)

Ashton Jeanty looked like he was being counted on in the offense like he needed to have a big game. Thanks to TE Brock Bowers, some of the load was taken off Jeanty as Geno Smith was able to spread the ball around. Jeanty scurried for a resounding 42 yards on 13 carries and managed to get the ball across the goal line for a receiving TD. Although the Raiders needed another point, the point could be made Jeanty is still not getting enough touches. Although they can't get him going for long gains, it would help to have him get going early and control the clock.
