Jakobi Meyers does something he’d never done with Raiders

Perhaps lost in the shuffle in Sunday’s loss to the Bengals was a Raiders career first for Jakobi Meyers. Midway through his second season with the Raiders, Meyers surpassed 100 yards in a game for the first time in a Raiders uniform.

Sunday in Cincinnati, Meyers reached 105 yards on eight catches, marking his first time past the century mark in a single game in Silver & Black.

His eight catches were his second most in a Raiders uniform. His 11 targets were the third most as a Raider.

That may be hard to believe, but in his first 22 games the most yards Meyers had compiled in a game was 85 yards, which he put up early last year against the Steelers. As it happens, now both of his highest yardage games were losses. So, Meyers likely isn’t feeling much like celebrating.

Thrice in his four season in New England Meyers surpassed 100 yards in a game. And six times he had eight catches or more.
