The Raiders must think they play baseball. For the second consecutive game, Las Vegas earned a walk-off victory as they beat the Seahawks in overtime, 40-34.
Running back Josh Jacobs sealed the win with an 86-yard touchdown run on the Raiders’ second overtime drive, capping a wild afternoon of football in Seattle. Jacobs ended his day with an astounding 303 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns; he’s just the fourth player in the Super Bowl era to accomplish that feat.
Here are the winners and losers for the week, as the Raiders delivered a painful blow to the Seahawks (6-5) and improved their record to 4-7.
Winner: RB Josh Jacobs
In every one of the Raiders’ victories this season, Jacobs has been a major factor. On Sunday in Seattle, that qualified as an understatement.
Jacobs was sensational, displaying skill that’s rare at the running back position. While his 86-yard game-winning burst was exciting, his first touchdown was a sight to behold. He jump-cut to his left, stiff-armed a defensive lineman, and sped his way to paydirt in stunning fashion.
The stiff arm. The run. The touchdown. That’s just @iAM_JoshJacobs.

By day’s end, Jacobs had one of the best games in NFL history. He also crossed the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the third time as a Raider, which is tied with Marcus Allen and Mark van Eeghen for the most such seasons in franchise history.
Jacobs is the last remaining piece from the Khalil Mack trade, and he is paying dividends for the Raiders. But will he stay in Las Vegas, as his contract is set to expire after this year? That question will be answered another day. For now, Jacobs is already one of the best running backs in Raiders history.
Josh Jacobs finished with 303 scrimmage yards, the most in game in #Raiders franchise history.

Winner: Maxx Crosby
The Raiders’ pass rush consistently bothered Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith, and when Las Vegas needed him most, defensive end Maxx Crosby delivered and brought Smith to the turf.
Crosby sacked Smith as the Seahawks were poised to take a late lead, bull rushing Seattle’s right tackle into Smith’s lap.
