WATCH: Former Alabama football star Josh Jacobs scores game-winning touchdown on massive run
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs called game on Sunday as he ripped off an 86-yard, walk off, game-winning touchdown run to help the Raiders secure a 40-34 victory over the Seattle Seahawks.
The former Alabama Crimson Tide ball carrier had a monster day for Las Vegas, rushing for a season-high 229 yards on the ground on 33 carries, reaching the end zone twice for the Raiders, and also added 6 receptions for 74 receiving yards to his breakout performance.

Both teams had an opportunity to win the ball game in overtime after reaching a 34-34 score at the end of regulation. Las Vegas received the ball first in overtime, ending their first drive with a missed 56-yard field goal attempt by Daniel Carlson. Seattle had a three and out on the following drive, and Jacobs made the next drive a quick one after that, scoring the game-winner on the very first play of their second and final possession of the ball game.
Former Alabama running back Brian Robinson Jr breaks out with first 100-yard game in NFL
The Washington Commanders’ rookie running back Brian Robinson Jr. notched his first 100-yard rushing game on Sunday in his team’s win over the Atlanta Falcons.
In the 19-13 victory, Robinson rushed for 105 yards on 18 carries. He also scored his first receiving touchdown after he caught a ball in the backfield and bowled over two Falcons defenders on the way to the endzone.
Following his recovery from a shooting in DC this summer, Robinson scored his first-ever NFL touchdown in the Commanders’ 12-7 win over the Chicago Bears on Oct. 13. He scored again on Nov. 14 as the Commanders took down Philadelphia. Washington is now 7-5 on the year, though still fourth in the NFC East, with the help of the former Alabama Crimson Tide star. They could move past the Giants in the next week with a win on the road.
After missing the first month of the season due to injuries sustained from being a victim in a car-jacking attempt and shooting, the third-round draft pick made a miraculous comeback to the Washington Commanders’ active roster earlier this season and continues to improve.
Suiting up eight times so far this year, Robinson has carried the ball 108 times for 362 yards and caught four balls for a net of seven yards, along with two touchdowns.
