Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones fed off one another and have been virtually unstoppable this year. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] has been pretty much unstoppable for the Raiders aside from the two games he missed with a hamstring injury. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] leads the league in yards after contact, with his aggressive running style paying off big time in his third year.
The difference was that the defense didn't give any long runs to the Chiefs. Jamaal Charles longest run of the day went for 13 yards, while Thomas Jones' biggest run was for just seven yards. Jones finished with just 32 yards on 19 carries. Charles got beat up by the Raiders defense and was limited to just 10 rushing attempts.
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] is playing as good if not better than any other RB in the NFL. He has adapted a fearless running style that is a lot of fun to watch. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] no longer avoids contact or looks for the sideline: He now gets low and delivers hits that Jack Tatum would have been proud of.
Oakland Raiders: [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Outduels KC's Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones
The Oakland Raiders beat the Kansas City Chiefs in a monumental game last Sunday. The Raiders improved to 5-4 while the Chiefs slipped to 5-3. The Raiders are now above .500 this late in the season for the first time since 2002 and only 1/2 game back for the AFC West lead.
Richard Seymour was also wreaking havoc on Kansas City RBs all day long. He consistently got penetration and disrupted the Chiefs running game. He made some big plays and they all came exactly when the Raiders needed them.
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] finished the day with 89 yards on 17 carries. Not eye popping numbers but Jamal Charles and Thomas Jones finished the day with a combined total of 85 yards on 29 total carries. Tyvonn Branch delivered a big hit on Thomas Jones early and set the tone for the rest of the game.
The match-up featured the Chiefs top ranked rushing attack and the Raiders #2 ground game. Most thought the difference was going to be the Raiders inability to stop the run. The Raiders are and have been ranked near the bottom of the league when it comes to stopping the opposing team's ground game.
