Stop Josh Jacobs:

With the NY Giants struggling run-defense this year is going to be put to the test to to stop Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs.

The Raiders are going to be low on weapons this week so they will likely look to Josh Jacobs to carry their offense.

The NY Giants rank 8th in rushing yards allowed, 17th in rushing TD’s allowed, and 15th in yards per rush allowed. Not very good when you consider this weeks matchup against an elite RB in Josh Jacobs.

Jacobs is in the midst of a down year, only tallying 204 rushing yards, and five TD’s through five games. However, this does not mean he is not a threat.

If the NY Giants can successfully slow down Jacobs they should have a good day on the defensive side of the ball when you consider they’re lack of receiving weapons.
