Ever since his first game as an Oakland Raider, Josh Jacobs has looked like a special talent. He’s only gotten better and better as the season has gone on. He’s absolutely blown up in October and has been named the AFC Rookie of the Month.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — When he arrived at Alabama, Josh Jacobs spent his first few months sleeping on the floor in his dorm room. Not because he didn't have a bed. But because after years of sleeping on couches, on motel floors and in the back seat of his father's maroon Chevy Suburban, he was more comfortable there.

Josh Jacobs should be used to breaking records. In Week 1, Oakland's running back became the first rookie to score two touchdowns and gain 100 yards from scrimmage since Hall of Famer LaDainian Tomlinson did so in 2001. But on Sunday, after rushing for 123 yards and two touchdowns in the Raiders' 24-21 upset win over the Chicago Bears in London, he was obviously surprised when told that he had broken Hall of Fame running back Marcus Allen's franchise record for most rushing yards by a Raiders rookie running back after five games. Jacobs has 430 rushing yards through five games while helping Oakland get off to a surprising 3-2 start to the season.
