The Las Vegas Raiders scored 14 points on Monday Night Football against the Chicago Bears. Well, the offense scored seven points while the defense scored the other seven, which just makes the terrible offensive output that much worse by a team that has two-star offensive players. They have two superstars on offense: Davante Adams and Josh Jacobs.
This whole season has been about the passing game not being there because the run game just cannot be established. Well, the run game was there, for the most part, and the passing game wasn't there. Jimmy Garoppolo played terribly and made some awful throws.
Meanwhile, the one time they scored, it came by way of running the ball. That drive, they passed it three times for 19 yards while they ran it seven for 41 yards. So, the narrative that the run game wasn't working this time around is just completely false.
Josh Jacobs let everyone know that, too. When he was asked if he saw Detroit stack the box against him, he kept it real, as he should.
"Hell nah, they ain't stack the box; that's why we did well," Jacobs told reporters in the locker room.
The Raiders roster is too talented to be going through this. They should be struggling on defense and winning games by way of their offense. But, instead, their defense is the only reason they are even staying in games.
