The Houston Texans led the Las Vegas Raiders by three points entering the fourth quarter on Sunday before one of their big weaknesses — run defense — cost ...

Houston came in off a bye that followed its first win of the season. Collins will be reevaluated when the team returns to Houston. Houston came in with the fourth-best red-zone defense, having allowed seven touchdowns in opponents’ 18 trips inside the 20-yard line. Jacobs trampled the Texans with 14 of his 20 rushes going for 5 or more yards. “Defensively, just didn’t play well enough,” Smith said. There’s a lot of things, gotta give them a lot of credit for that.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The way Josh Jacobs is running, the Las Vegas Raiders' offensive line is going to have a nice Christmas.

... S Matthias Farley left with a back injury in the third quarter, returned, and left again late in the fourth quarter. Texans: DT Maliek Collins suffered a chest injury in the first quarter and did not return. ... WR Nico Collins left in the third quarter with a groin injury and did not return. “The biggest thing for me is I want to get in the playoffs,” Jacobs said. Las Vegas’ Daniel Carlson has made 39 straight field goals since Week 8 of last season, the longest active streak in the NFL and the fifth-longest streak in history. He passed Pat Swilling (107 1/2) for the 26th most in NFL history. Jones has 108 sacks since entering the league in 2012, the third most in that span. “I want to go on a run and actually ... “I come back to them all the time because I feel like it’s the first time in a long time where I’ve had four to five yards without being touched by anybody. Jacobs, who is playing for a contract after not having his fifth-year option picked up before the season, has rushed for 441 yards in his last three games. The first was a 34-30 win at Carolina on Sept. He became the first Raider to rush for more than 100 yards in three straight games since Napoleon Kaufman in 1997.

The Las Vegas Raiders left no room for a comeback as they pulled away from the Houston Texans in the second half of their eventual 38-20 win.

It's been a subpar start to his sophomore campaign for Davis Mills, but Sunday afternoon at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the Houston Texans quarterback ...

For a third time in the last six years, the Yankees saw their season come to an end at the hands of Houston. The Yankees were also felled by a massive defensive error (this time in the outfield) during their Game 3 loss to the Astros. Tyler Herro is second on the team in both scoring (20.7) and rebounding (6.7). Charania added that the Lakers recently spoke to the Hornets about Hornets point guard Terry Rozier, and the Hornets are among the team that were linked to Westbrook previously. The Yankees’ season came to an end on Sunday as the Houston Astros beat them 6-5 in Game 4 of the ALCS to finish off the series sweep. Borowiecki wasn’t a full time option for the Preds, as he was rotating in and out of the lineup with Jeremy Lauzon. Heading into the game, San Francisco had given up the least total yards and was second in passing yards and points allowed per game in the NFL. "I know full well that we will continue to improve as the season goes along -- 82 games is a really long season, and we just have to stay the course." He is a new starter for Denver after being acquired from Washington as part of the deal that sent Monte Morris and Will Barton to the Wizards. The contest was Murray's second of the season and Denver coach Michael Malone said it was an improvement from his season debut. Lillard has scored 41 points in each of the past two games, and he'll look to help the Portland Trail Blazers open the season with their fourth consecutive win when they host the Denver Nuggets on Monday night. And with nine different targets, Mills did a great job spreading the ball around to Houston's receivers, tight ends and running backs.

The Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs reached another milestone in Sunday's win against the Houston Texans.

I feel like it's the first time in a long time where I've had four to five yards without being touched by anybody. "It's a blessing to be in this position," said Jacobs following the win. Maybe you like to talk about other sports that aren't Silver and Black related? Want to talk about this? "I think it's more of a credit to the offensive line. The Las Vegas Raiders improved their record to 2-4 on Sunday with a win over the Houston Texans and in much part of the Raiders running game.

But the best player for the Raiders this season has been none other than Josh Jacobs. Maxx Crosby is as good as any pass rusher in the NFL. The Raiders have a lot of top-end talent on their roster.

The Las Vegas Raiders now stand at 2-4, keeping their playoff hopes alive after overcoming a sloppy first half thanks to Josh Jacobs.

Allen, who was in attendance for the game at Allegiant Stadium, is arguably the greatest running back in the organization’s history. In the last three contests, Jacobs has quite literally carried the team, though overall, the Raiders have come up short. On the final drive of the half for the Raiders, Jacobs pushed the offense during their 10-play, 82-yard drive.

Davis Mills had his best game of the season Sunday despite the Houston Texans falling to the Raiders.

[@LockedOnTexans](https://twitter.com/lockedontexans?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) today! "I don't know if I would contribute that to extra film study, but it’s something I've talked to myself about — being able to extend plays," Mills said. [Click Here](https://www.si.com/nfl/texans/nfl/texans/news/houston-deshaun-watson-arbitrator-suspension-six-games-quarterback-browns) "We got up on the ball pretty quick with a little tempo," Mills said. And with nine different targets, Mills did a great job spreading the ball around to Houston's receivers, tight ends and running backs. "He was running the game plan," Houston coach Lovie Smith said.

In his 49th game with the Raiders, Jacobs surpassed Hall of Famer Marcus Allen for the most rushing yards in franchise history through a player's first 50 ...

“It’s huge to have him here and have him happy for me to beat his record.” Jacobs couldn’t have cared less as his postgame beaming hit another level when he had a surprise visitor outside the locker room — Allen. The stadium electrified more than it had at any other point of the day, and stayed that way as the next drive was Jacobs’ final touchdown. The accomplishment that made Jacobs proudest, however, was pulling his team to victory in the fourth quarter during what had otherwise been a frustrating day. The Raiders’ defense didn’t force a punt until the fourth quarter after Crosby stuffed Pierce for no gain on a 3rd-and-1 run at the Texans’ 33-yard line. Then, in September, McDaniels didn’t announce Jacobs as a captain, a role he held last season. He exploded through a hole and flattened two defenders at the goal line on a 7-yard touchdown dive up the middle with seven minutes left on the clock. In his 49th game with the Raiders, Jacobs surpassed Hall of Famer Marcus Allen for the most rushing yards in franchise history through a player’s first 50 games. On his final score, he went untouched on a 15-yard counter where he outraced two defensive backs on a Texans’ defense Carr called the fastest he’s ever seen. The new Raiders’ braintrust of coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler seemed to have doubts based on their personnel moves. He had 20 carries for 143 rushing yards and three touchdowns against the Texans, making him the first Raider running back since Napoleon Kaufman in 1997 to record three straight 100-yard games on the ground. Josh Jacobs, on the other hand, was taking his time getting off the field as he roamed slowly with a black Gatorade towel draped over his head and a smile stretched widely across his face.

A week off and a favorable matchup against a struggling team were just what the Las Vegas Raiders needed to get their season back on track.

However, the Raiders will be on the road for four of the next five weeks, with the Nov. “The biggest thing for me is I want to get in the playoffs,” Jacobs said, per Ramirez. Each of Las Vegas' next four games is against a team with either a losing or .500 record: the New Orleans Saints (2-5), the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-5), the Indianapolis Colts (3-3-1) and the Denver Broncos (2-5). But after Sunday's victory, they could be poised to go on a roll, as they have several more favorable matchups looming in the near future. Las Vegas then ran out the final 1:11 to seal the victory. Then on its next possession, Mills was intercepted by safety Duron Harmon, who returned it 73 yards for a TD that put the Raiders up 38-20. Jacobs has run for more than 100 yards in three straight contests for the first time. the Texans, Jacobs had 20 carries for 143 yards and three second-half TDs. Houston racked up 404 total yards of offense, with Davis Mills airing it out for 302 yards and a pair of touchdown passes. The Texans made it a competitive game, and they even had a 20-17 lead after three quarters. Fresh off their bye, the Raiders pulled away late for a 38-20 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium. Because on Sunday, they looked much more like the team that many expected them to be coming into the 2022 campaign.

Alas, it didn't happen as the Raiders dominated the fourth quarter and sent us back to Houston with an L. Here are my Harris Hits from a wild roller coaster of ...

Maybe the Raiders were going to continue to exploit the Texans defense anyway, but what happens if the Texans get that fourth and one in the fourth quarter when it was 24-20? His second catch was a 39-yard catch and run in the third quarter on third and three. That in turn led to the three play, nail in the coffin sequence - Adams third down reception/Texans offside on fourth and one/Jacobs TD. He had one tackle where he scraped into the gap and made a strong solid tackle. On the first drive of the second half, he spun out of a pressure, rolled to his left and threw a dime to Phillip Dorsett on the sideline for a big first down. Texans LB Christian Harris, playing in the first game of his career, seemed to be in the perfect position to make the tackle, well short of the first down. His first reception was a 19-yard catch and run on third down and four in the first quarter. The front seven couldn't get off blocks and get to the ball. The Texans got beat on pin and pull toss sweep, counter and isolation. It was the first time the Texans had ever played in Las Vegas and, for a while, it looked like the Texans were about to leave Vegas with a memorable first win near the famous Las Vegas Strip. On one play in the first half, he got a little pressure and flipped, literally, flipped the ball out to RB Dameon Pierce who picked up six yards on first down. He LASERED that throw into Dorsett who split the cornerback and safety in cover two.

Las Vegas hits blackjack in fourth quarter as sloppy first half leads to final-stanza dominance of Houston.

—Raiders receiver Mack Hollins ran a solid route and leapt up to haul in Carr’s 26-yard dart for the touchdown to tie the game at 10 apiece late in the second quarter. —Houston quarterback David Mills operated with comfort for much of the first half and finished 28 of 41 for 302 yards and two touchdowns. His seven-yard power run with 13:32 on the clock in the fourth quarter put the Silver & Black ahead 24-20 and his most impressive score, a 15-yard gallop that showcased his patience, vision, power and speed, with 7:06 left to play capped his afternoon and gave the Raiders a 31-20 lead. You can play single-high and do it certain ways to just get help there and it gives you good angles in the run game, or it gives you this or that. He’s arguably the best safety in the Las Vegas secondary. And Josh is one of the best backs in the league. Had a couple penalties in the kicking game. That was a welcome sight considering the sloppy Raiders football that preceded it — something that wasn’t flattering for a team coming off a bye. In what was truly a tale of two halves, the host Raiders were akin to the degenerate gambler who pisses away his money at the casino habitually. And just like the illustrious poem, the Raiders pillage for fun, knocked the Texans ‘round and upside down and laughed when they conquered and won. Like any desperate gambler looking to swing their fortune, the Raiders hit blackjack when they needed it most: 21 points in the all-important fourth quarter. But something started to happen in the second half.

The Las Vegas Raiders felt they figured out the Houston Texans in some key ways to pull off a 21-point fourth quarter en route to victory.

For the Texans, there was strong execution offensively through three quarters with a season-high 404 yards and 20 points on the board. Before the Texans can re-emerge as a winning organization, greater consistency will be required. “I come back to them all the time because I feel like it’s the first time in a long time where I’ve had four to five yards without being touched by anybody. “It’s all them — the players win the game. Josh Jacobs was instrumental in the Raiders' efforts as he rushed for a total of 143 yards with three second-half touchdowns. Las Vegas not only did that but they managed to to use 21 fourth-quarter points to win by an 18-point margin.

LAS VEGAS – The Houston Texans defense has been rancid through six games this season, and that is putting it in PG-13 terms. If we get into the run defense, ...

The performance by Jacobs is the beginning of a tough month for the Texans’ run defense. We have to understand that it takes a group effort to take down a special back like that. Houston is giving up 411.8 yards per game to opposing offenses, ranking them 31st in the league, right above the Detroit Lions. “That’s normally when it comes down to when you give up big plays like that.” They were coming off the bye week that had positive vibes all around after Houston got their first victory of the season over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5. LAS VEGAS – The Houston Texans defense has been rancid through six games this season, and that is putting it in PG-13 terms.

The Raiders' 38-20 win over the Houston Texans was arguably the most complete game the team has put together this season. It was the most points scored and ...

This was the third game this season the Raiders defense shutout their opponent in the fourth quarter. And despite the safety having 23 career interceptions in his 10 seasons played, it was his first career pick-six. The Raiders improved to 5-0 in games where the running back goes for over 100 rushing yards with multiple touchdown runs. He became the first Raider to run for more than 140 yards in three consecutive games and also broke Marcus Allen's record for most rushing yards in a player's first 50 career games. [Derek Carr](/team/players-roster/derek-carr/) was accurate with the football yesterday, as he completed 21-of-27 passing attempts, with 241 passing yards and a touchdown. There are a lot of good things the Raiders did against the Texans, with a handful of statistics that back it up.

This marked the third time in the past five seasons that the Raiders had a perfect day in the red zone with at least three trips, also doing it in a win at Kansas City in 2020 and a home loss to the Chiefs in 2018. The Raiders will spend the week in Florida after the game before finishing the trip at Jacksonville on Nov. ... S Matthias Farley left with a back injury in the third quarter and a cramp in the fourth. The Raiders got into the red zone three times and turned them all into TDs by Jacobs in a pleasant change for an offense that has struggled to finish off drives in recent years. After allowing six sacks in the opener, the Raiders have allowed just seven in the last five games. The only sack on Sunday came when Ferrell and Chandler Jones split one on the final play of the first half to give both of them their first half-sack of the season. Las Vegas’ 1.5 sacks per game are tied for the second fewest in the NFL. They kept Houston off the scoreboard on three fourth-quarter possessions and put the game away with [Duron Harmon's pick-6](https://twitter.com/Raiders/status/1584314404400603137?s=20&t=9-oI5ky5E5vFghGLJOWd2w). The Raiders are averaging 5.43 yards per carry for the best mark through six games in franchise history and 2.1 yards better than the average at this point last season. The Raiders (2-4) became the first team in eight years to win a game they trailed after three quarters by at least 18 points. While Maxx Crosby continues to generate consistent pressure, the Raiders are having a tough time bringing quarterbacks down.
