Silver And Black Pride
Week 15 resulted in another ugly loss for the Las Vegas Raiders, as they fell 31-0 to the Philadelphia Eagles. But let’s check in on a few old friends and see how Sunday treated Josh Jacobs, Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers.
This was a thrilling, back-and-forth game that came down to the wire. Unfortunately, the Green Bay Packers’ defense wasn’t able to get enough stops to take down the Denver Broncos on the road, as they lost pass-rusher Micah Parsons toward the end of the contest. However, Jacobs had an outstanding performance, recording just the second receiving touchdown of his career with the amazing catch seen below. He’s also just 110 rushing yards away from his fifth 1,000-yard season in seven years.
This is just the second time this season that Adams has been kept out of the endzone in back-to-back games. However, that was partially due to him exiting the contest early with a hamstring injury. Adams pulled up on a vertical route and was noticeably in pain before hitting the ground and lying face-first on the field as the training staff came to his assistance. Los Angeles Rams head coach told reporters that the injury “didn’t look good,” and the wideout could be out for a huge matchup where first place in the NFC West and the No. 1 seed in the conference are on the line against the Seattle Seahawks, via ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The Jacksonville Jaguars cruised to their 10th win of the year, as Meyers was their second-leading receiver behind running back Travis Etienne Jr., who had three catches for 73 yards and three touchdowns. Meyers now has more yards in six games with the Jaguars (355) than he did during his seven outings with the Raiders (352) this season. Jacksonville is also 5-1 since the wideout’s arrival and leads the AFC South by one game over the Houston Texans, with a big matchup in Denver coming next week.
