The Las Vegas Raiders have been plagued by many issues during the 2025 NFL season, but the rushing attack has been slowly coming along. While the running game was a problem in the first three contests, it has been much better over the past two weeks.
Obviously, the improvement has largely been tied to the breakout of rookie running back Ashton Jeanty. While the rookie appeared to quiet the noise about where he was drafted, former NFL quarterback and current analyst Chris Simms is not sold on the Raiders' running back.
Simms criticized Jeanty at length after one week of his NFL career, and he's known to have a heavy anti-Raiders bias.
