5 takeaways from the Raiders' Week 8 win over the Browns

2. Are things getting tougher for the Browns?

It's hard to say whether the Browns have an easy or tough schedule remaining with the inconsistencies. The "tough" games would be against the Tennessee Titans, Baltimore Ravens, and Pittsburgh Steelers. Who knows, though, the Houston Texans could take them out next week, or the New York Jets could get their first win against the Browns.

Either way, with the Ravens in their way in this strong division, it will be hard for the Browns. Unless the Ravens play the way they played against the Steelers this past Sunday, then they could have a shot. Otherwise, it is going to take a lot of mental strength from this team to fight for that playoff spot.

1. Raiders RB Josh Jacobs performed like a Pro Bowler

The best performance award for Sunday's game should go to Raiders' Josh Jacobs, who had 31 carries for a total of 128 rushing yards. While he didn't have a touchdown during the game, he (literally) pushed himself to the sixth-most rushing yards in the league.

Considering the passing game was not working for Carr, head coach Jon Gruden turned to Jacobs and the Browns' defensive front could not stop him. The Raiders take on the Chargers in Week 9, a defense that is 12th in rushing yards allowed per game. Look to see Jacobs perform well against their divisional rivals next Sunday.
