The Raiders defeated the Bengals in Week 11 by a score of 17-10 and moved to 5-1 in home contests this season. In the contest, RB Josh Jacobs put together his fourth 100-yard performance, breaking a tie with Marcus Allen (1982) for the most 100-yard performances by a rookie in franchise history. Jacobs finished with 112 yards on the ground on 23 carries (4.9 avg.) and ranks fourth in the NFL with 923 rushing yards in 2019. QB Derek Carr added his second career rushing touchdown in the contest while also tallying another touchdown pass to TE Foster Moreau, who leads all rookie tight ends this season with four receiving scores. It marked the 14th score by a rookie this season, tying a team record set in 1982 for most scores by a rookie class. On defense, DE Maxx Crosby had a career day and finished with four sacks, including three in the fourth quarter. Crosby set a franchise rookie record and is just the third person in 2019 to record four sacks in a contest.
Crosby put together one of the finest defensive performances by a rookie in club history this past Sunday, as he registered four sacks in the contest, adding one forced fumble, and setting a new franchise rookie record. Crosby is one of just three players to record four sacks in a game this season and became just the fourth rookie in NFL history to do so since the stat became official in 1982. Additionally, three of Crosby's four sacks were logged in the fourth quarter, becoming the only player in 2019 to have accomplished the feat. Furthermore, dating back to 2000, Crosby is the only rookie in the NFL to have notched three sacks in a single fourth quarter.
CB Trayvon Mullen recorded his first career interception and sealed the game for the Raiders when he came down with the ball on the Bengals' final offensive drive with just over one minute remaining in the game.
