    Just when it looked as if the Las Vegas Raiders might blow another fourth-quarter lead, they put the ball in the hands of Josh Jacobs and the running game to finish off the Denver Broncos.

    The emphatic game-sealing drive gave Josh McDaniels his first win as a head coach since being fired by Denver in 2010 and backed up the message he gave his players all week.

    ''He said it to the offense and defense: You should want the burden to finish the game, not hoping that someone else does their thing or they they fix the problem,'' quarterback Derek Carr said. ''Whatever the game asked for, it's our turn to do our job.''

    The Raiders did just that. Jacobs ran for a career-high 144 yards and two touchdowns, Amik Robertson returned a fumble 68 yards for a score and the Raiders beat the Broncos 32-23 on Sunday.
