The Las Vegas Raiders defeated the Seattle Seahawks in overtime, 40-34, on Sunday behind an epic 303-yard performance from Raiders running back Josh Jacobs.

Fittingly, Jacobs sealed the game with an 86-yard run for the game’s final six points:

“Josh Jacobs 86 yards for the Raiders win in OT,” The Comeback wrote.

The NFL world was quick to react to the dynamite play:

“Mama, there goes that man,” wrote Kenny King Jr.

“Josh Jacobs is criminally underrated,” wrote one fan.

“Unreal. Up the gut untouched,” OJ Spivey wrote.

“Josh Jacobs creating even more separation between the Raiders and Texans for that first-overall pick,” wrote Greg Rajan.

“Josh Jacobs today: – 33 rushes, 229 rushing yards, 2 rushing TD – 6 catches, 74 yards – 303 yards of total offense – walk-off overtime touchdown run – 48.3 fantasy points UNREAL!!!!” Field Yates wrote.

The Raiders originally selected Jacobs, then an Alabama Crimson Tide product, with the 24th overall selection of the 2019 NFL Draft. The Raiders announced they would not extend the club’s fifth-year option on Jacobs’ rookie contract back in April.

The Raiders are next in action Dec. 4 when they host the rival Los Angeles Chargers in AFC West play. The Seahawks also play Dec. 4 when they head to California to face the Los Angeles Rams in NFC West play.
