Josh Jacobs picked right up where right where he left off the 2019 season in a stunning 2020 debut; rushing 25 times for 93 yards and finding pay dirt three times, leading Las Vegas to a 34-30 win over the Carolina Panthers. His three touchdowns were the most by any back in week one, and if Jacobs can keep trending this way, he has a legitimate shot at winning MVP.
In the last two decades, there have been only four running backs to win MVP; Marshall Faulk in 2000, Shaun Alexander in 2005, LaDainian Tomlinson in 2006, and Adrian Peterson in 2012.
