The Las Vegas Thieves defeated the Seattle Seahawks 40-34 in overtime for the second week in a row thanks to Josh Jacobs' 86-yard touchdown run. After getting past Seattle's defense's final line, Josh Jacobs had nothing but an open field and a chance to be one of the greatest single-game performances in NFL history.

Jacobs Scores a Touchdown, Making the Raiders Superior to the Seahawks Jacobs ran 86 yards for the game-winning touchdown on Sunday, which resulted in a 40-34 overtime victory for the Las Vegas Raiders over the Seattle Seahawks. As per Jacobs, "When I hit the hole, I see a major opening and I just attempted to run as quick as possible."Jacobs set a franchise record with his two touchdowns and 229 rushing yards. Additionally, he had six receptions for 74 yards, making his 303 yards from the line of scrimmage the seventh most in a Super Bowl game and the most in franchise history. I was reminded of Raiders' Bo Jackson's untouched long touchdown run against the Seahawks on Nov. 30, 1987, at the Kingdome, by Jacobs' extraordinary dash.28 yards was Jacobs' longest touchdown run. Not bad for a player who had been listed as questionable for the game due to a calf injury. Jacobs' play was clear when he took the field. I am aware of the challenges he has faced and the effort he has put in to ensure that he achieves his goal. The Raiders quarterback Derek Carr called the scene "really cool."Las Vegas (4-7) had 283 rushing yards and gave up 576 total yards, which was the third most the Seahawks (6-5), who were one game behind San Francisco in the NFC West by a game, had ever given up.It's hard to get rid of him. He has good balance and is a tough runner. Shelby Harris, a defensive tackle for Seattle, stated, "You really gotta wrap him up."He doesn't have the kind of back that falls when touched. Breaking tackles and getting those extra yards is how he makes money. With 1:54 remaining, Carr threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Foster Moreau in the corner of the end zone to force overtime, making the score 34-all. Despite throwing an interception on the game's first play, Carr completed 25 of 36 passes for 295 yards and three touchdowns. Before Moreau's touchdown catch, Jacobs appeared to fumble inside the 10, giving the Raiders a break as well. However, officials determined that his forward progress had been halted. From the first to the last play, it started. Josh McDaniels, the coach of the Raiders, stated, "The first play is an interception, and the last play is a touchdown."The game went through a lot of swings. After losing to Tampa Bay in Germany two weeks earlier, Seattle suffered its second consecutive defeat. Geno Smith threw for 328 yards and two touchdowns on 27 of 37 attempts. However, Seattle's rushing attack struggled for the second game in a row, despite Kenneth Walker III's two touchdown runs. On Las Vegas' first possession in overtime, Daniel Carlson missed a 56-yard field goal attempt. Jacobs broke free on the following play from scrimmage after Seattle went three-and-out. Since Adrian Peterson set the single-game record for rushing yards (296) in 2007, Jacobs was the first player to score at least two touchdowns and have at least 300 scrimmage yards in a Super Bowl game. Since at least 1950, he is the first player to rush for at least 225 yards and catch for in at least one game,70 yards. "It's kind of crazy, coming in and not knowing if I was going to play, looking the guys in the eyes and telling them they’re going to get everything they’ve got in me," Jacobs commented. Was Jacobs? referring to the situation. Jacobs was talking about the circumstance. The 86-yard run was the fourth-longest overtime touchdown in league history. Today, Josh performed exceptionally well. Pete Carroll, the coach at Seattle, stated, "We didn't tackle as well as we should have, and we didn't scheme as well as we should have."He played very well." Regardless of its relentless surging assault, Las Vegas seemed to pass up on its opportunity to win for most of the game. In order to keep his offense on the field, McDaniels substituted field goals twice. Additionally, in the fourth quarter, he called a mind-boggling toss sweep to Jacobs on fourth-and-4, which Seattle was unable to recover. Carr, on the other hand, performed admirably on the standard tying drive. He completed six of eight passes, including a touchdown pass to Moreau that Moreau flawlessly floated into the back corner and a stunning one-handed catch by Davante Adams for 28 yards. With 57 seconds remaining, Seattle appeared to have a chance to win the game and the first down on Smith's pass to DK Metcalf near midfield. Metcalf rolled over and hit the sideline, but it was determined after a lengthy review that he lacked ball control. After Smith was sacked by Maxx Crosby on the following play, Seattle punted. Damages: Raiders DT Andrew Billings was taken off the field and into the locker room during the fourth quarter. In extra time, Seattle S Ryan Neal got hurt in the elbow, and reinforcement Josh Jones got a bad point on Jacobs' winning run. THROWBACKS The Seahawks announced that they would wear throwback uniforms for the 2023 season. These uniforms would feature the blue jerseys, silver pants, and silver helmets that Seattle wore in the 1990s.
