For the first time since 1998, the Raiders won in Seattle, thanks to the legs of running back Josh Jacobs.
Jacobs scored the game-winning touchdown in overtime Sunday, breaking away for an 86-yard run to seal the game. The Raiders running back finished the game with 303 total yards from scrimmage; six catches for 74 yards and 33 carries for 229 yards.
This is the Raiders’ second straight overtime win, but this one wasn’t guaranteed. After winning the coin toss and marching down the field, Daniel Carlson missed a 56-yard field goal attempt, giving the Seahawks time to try and win the game. However, Geno Smith and company went three and out, giving the ball back to the Raiders.

The Raiders were able to force overtime after a 5-yard touchdown pass from Derek Carr to Foster Moreau with less than two minutes remaining. Carr ended the game with 295 yards on 25 attempts, 3 touchdowns and two interceptions, one of which he threw on the first play of the game.
Across The AFC West
The Denver Broncos were the only AFC West team to lose on Sunday. Denver now sits alone in last place in the division after falling to the Carolina Panthers 23-10. The Chargers also pulled out an overtime win, converting a two-point conversion to leave Arizona 25-24. And the Chiefs moved to 9-2 on the year after crushing the Los Angeles Rams, 26-10.
Who’s Next For The Raiders?
The Black and Silver head back home to take on division rival Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, Dec. 4.
