17. Oakland Raiders (18)

After two tough losses in a row to the Green Bay Packers and Houston Texans, the Oakland Raiders finally found a way to come through in Week 9 by hanging on for a win over the Detroit Lions.

In a game that came right down to the final drive, the Raiders deserve plenty of credit for defeating the Lions the way they did, and can hopefully use this as motivation to continue playing at a high level over the next few weeks.

If this turns out to be the case, Oakland could find themselves in position to earn one of the playoff spots in the AFC, which would be amazing after all the previous drama the Raiders were forced to overcome early on surrounding Antonio Brown.

Rightfully so, Derek Carr is receiving plenty of recognition for a strong outing on offense, but rookie Josh Jacobs deserves just as much credit as well.

Oakland clearly felt confident enough back in April that Jacobs would find a way to make an impact as a rookie, but watching him rush for 120 yards with two touchdowns on 28 carries shows just how special he really is.

With their next two games at home against the Los Angeles Chargers and Cincinnati Bengals, the Raiders seem to be in perfect position to put together a winning streak of their own.
