Silver Minings: Josh Jacobs wins rushing title

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs really wrapped up the NFL’s rushing title a few weeks ago, but it became official yesterday with the end of the 2022 regular season.

The Tennessee Titans Derrick Henry and Cleveland Browns Nick Chubb both had a chance to catch Jacobs but fell short. Henry had 109 yards on Saturday night’s AFC South Championship game, finishing the year with 1,538 rushing yards, while Chubb picked up 77 yards on Sunday to finish in third place with 1,525 yards.

Jacobs capped off the campaign with 1,653 yards, 115 ahead of Henry and 128 in front of Chubb, and as the first Raider to win the rushing crown since Marcus Allen in 1985.
