Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs is recapturing his elite form.

Against the Kansas City Chiefs, Jacobs burst through the line of scrimmage and scored a 63-yard TD, giving the Raiders a 14-0 lead with 12:41 remaining in the second quarter.

Jacobs — who led the league in rushing yards (1,653) in 2022 — struggled at the beginning of the season. He only ran for two TDs through his first eight games and had no 100-yard rushing games.

Over the past four weeks, however, he's scored three rushing TDs and rushed for 116 yards in a Week 10 victory over the New York Jets.

The Raiders offense has struggled throughout the season. Entering Week 12, they're 26th in the NFL in points scored (16.8). If Jacobs starts rolling, it will benefit the rest of the offense.

Las Vegas is 5-6 but still in the playoff hunt. An offensive uptick will help the team make an improbable postseason push.
