November 2022


It was a good week if you wanted to see some good running. Josh Jacobs ran for 303 yards for the Raiders and the Eagles collectively as a team ran for 363 yards. That said, there is very little shift in the top 5 by SRS. Buffalo, Dallas, Philadelphia, Baltimore and KC round out the top 5.
