Amplifying the passing attack to set up the ground and pound game? That doesn’t sound ideal with a rookie quarterback, but it’s a game plan that can serve the Las Vegas Raiders best this Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.
For Silver & Black to snap a two-game skid and get a much-needed win at home it needs to flip the script and throw the ball to set up the run. The Raider have made it no secret the success of their offense rides on the capable shoulders of running back Josh Jacobs (220 carries for 771 yards and six touchdowns) and interim head coach Antonio Pierce readily admits getting the tailback 20-plus touches normally means good things for Las Vegas.
