Carr’s passing yardage is lower than it has been in past years but he hasn’t had much stability at wide receiver either. Back-to-back wins over Indianapolis and Chicago helped raise his stock, as did the game-winning drive in the fourth quarter against the Bears.
RB Josh Jacobs: One of the early front-runners, if not favorite, for Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. Jacobs wasn’t used much in the Week 3 loss at Minnesota but bounced back with a strong effort against the Colts then shredded the Bears defense for 123 yards and two touchdowns. As long as he can stay healthy, Jacobs should easily eclipse the 1,000-yard mark. He’s already leading all rookie running backs in rushing and his 430 yards in five games are more than any Raiders rookie in franchise history, including Marcus Allen, Bo Jackson, and Napoleon Kaufman.

‘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.”
