Both Josh Jacobs and Davante Adams are having seasons for the ages. Both are on the verge of topping the Raiders all-time records.
Here’s where the stand and how far away they are from Raiders franchise records. Starting with a couple franchise marks that could be reached tonight when the Raiders face the Steelers.
Davante Adams
Season receiving yards: He has 1275 which is 7th most all time for Raiders, putting him in striking distance (133 yards) of Tim Brown’s franchise best 1408 yards. But he would pass up a lot of other Raiders greats along the way.
Adams needs 30 yards to move into 6th place, 35 yards to move into 5th, 68 yards for 4th, 70 yards for 3rd, and 87 yards for second.
Adams has three games to do it — one more game than anyone else had — but he may not need all 17. At his current pace of 91.1 yards per game, he would set the new franchise record in 16 games.
Season 100-yard games: He has seven 100-yard games this season. That is tied for the most in Raiders franchise history with Art Powell (1964), Warren Wells (1965), and Tim Brown (1997). Which means it’s the most 100-yard games for a Raiders player in 25 years and that one more would give him sole possession of the most 100-yard games in a season in Raiders history.
Season receptions: He has 86 catches this season. Four more catches puts him in the top ten in Raiders history. Five more puts him in a tie for 7th most. Six more puts him in the top five. Ten more catches moves him past Todd Christensen (95) for the fourth most.
Adams needs 22 catches over the final three games to set a new Raiders franchise record, surpassing the 107 set by Darren Waller two seasons ago.
Season receiving touchdowns: He has 12 this season which is tied for fourth in Raiders history. One more ties him with Cliff Branch for third, two more TD’s ties him with Warren Wells for seconds, and five more TD’s moves him past Art Powell’s franchise record of 16 in a season.
Josh Jacobs
While it is unlikely Jacobs is able to set any new records tonight, he can move into up the top five in Raiders history in several statistical categories.
Jacobs is already tied for the most 1000-yard seasons (three) in Raiders history and earlier this season set a new Raiders record with 229 yards rushing in a game.
Season rushing: He has rushed for a league-leading 1495 yards, which is the second most in Raiders history. He needs 265 yards over the final three games to surpass Marcus Allen’s franchise mark of 1759 yards in a season.
Career rushing: Jacobs sits at 4582 yards. He needs 211 yards to move past Napoleon Kaufman (4792) for 4th in Raiders history.
Career 100-yard games: He has 15 of them in his career which is tied for second in Raiders history. Which means, one more 100-yard game and he’ll move into sole possession of second place. He needs seven more 100-yard games to catch up to Marcus Allen’s 22.
Season 100-yard games: Jacobs has six 100-yard rushing games this season which is tied for 2nd most. So, again, one more 100-yard game will move him into sole possession of second in Raiders history. He won’t catch Marcus Allen’s franchise record of 11 in a season this year.
Season yards from scrimmage: Jacobs has 1858 currently which sits 4th in Raiders history. He needs 46 yards to surpass Charlie Garner (1903) for third, 69 yards to surpass Marcus Allen from 1984 (1926), and 457 yards to surpass Allen from 1985 (2314) for first place.
Season rushing touchdowns: His 11 TD’s this season is tied for 6th all time. One more would tie him with himself (12) for third all time. Two more would tie him with Marcus Allen (13). He needs five more to tie Pete Banaszak’s franchise mark of 16 in a season.
