As if anyone needed reminding, Josh Jacobs is the real deal. The three-touchdown game against Carolina was a great start to his sophomore campaign and was a reminder of how critical he is to the running game. Jacobs has also made it an emphasis to be more involved in the passing game, something that was apparent in each of the first two games.
The defense has been outright horrific at times already this season but the fourth-and-1 stop to save the win against the Panthers was critical and huge no matter how you slice it.
Daniel Carlson is off to a good start after a sporadic 2019 season. He made a pair of field goals in the opening-win over Carolina, including a career-best 54-yarder. In the following game against the Saints, Carlson kicked a 28-yarder that tied the score and helped the Raiders carry momentum into halftime.

‘We have to be a much more detailed football team'
Like so many Raiders fans, coach Jon Gruden found himself searching for answers after the Raiders’ second-half collapse that cost the team a spot in the expanded playoffs.
WHAT THEY'RE SAYING
Starting Tackle Kolton Miller is entering the final year of his rookie contract.
Wanted: Defensive coordinator
The Raiders didn’t wait long to begin their search for a new defensive coordinator, and it’s becoming clear that Jon Gruden has already narrowed his list down.
Raiders' good, bad, ugly
Raiders’ good, bad, ugly
NEWS & NOTES
The Raiders had one of the easier schedules in 2020 and got only eight wins to show for it. Things won’t get any easier in 2021, either.
Looking back at 2020 season
The 2020 season will absolutely be remembered for being one of the strangest and most disappointing in franchise history.
Gruden feeling the heat?
“I know there is a big bull’s-eye on my chest, certainly. If the people want to use that as an incentive, then so be it. I worked for Al Davis in 1998. That was pressure. I was 34 years old. I’ve dealt with pressure before. I don’t really feel pressure. I love the excitement and thrill of competing, and I can’t worry about things I can’t control in that regard. I know people will want to step on me and beat me, and that is just the way this league is.”
