Week 16 provided what should be considered an encouraging loss for the Las Vegas Raiders, falling to the Houston Texans by just two points. But let’s check in and see how the weekend treated a few old
friends: Josh Jacobs, Tre’von Moehrig and K’Lavon Chaisson.
Josh Jacobs
- Game result: 16-22, Bears lose
- Stats: 12 carries, 36 yards, 2 catches, 12 yards
Jacobs has had a good season, but this is a game he’ll want to forget. Not only was he unproductive while being on a pitch count due to an injury, but he also had a costly fumble in the third quarter that changed the game. Jacobs coughed the ball up on the Chicago Bears’ three-yard line, turning what could have been a touchdown or at least a field goal into a spark that helped ignite the Bears’ comeback. Granted, Chicago didn’t score, and Green Bay did take a 13-3 lead, but the lost points were costly in the Packers’ overtime loss. That also gives the Bears a 1.5-game lead in the NFC North with two weeks to play. Green Bay is clinging to the final NFC Wild Card spot with games against the Baltimore Ravens and Minnesota Vikings left on the schedule.
Tre’von Moehrig
- Game result: 23-20, Panthers win
- Stats: 7 tackles
This was a massive win for the Carolina Panthers. They blew a chance at taking control of the NFC South last week but took full advantage on Sunday by beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home. That gives Carolina a chance to win the division if it completes the season sweep of Tampa Bay in Week 18. Meanwhile, Moehrig was active, finishing third on the team in total tackles. That gives him 93 tackles on the year, which is 11 short of tying his career-high with the Raiders last season.
K’Lavon Chaisson
- Game result: 28-24, Patriots win
- Stats: 3 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 QB hit, 1 FF
After dropping a game to the Buffalo Bills last week, the New England Patriots got back on track to maintain their one-game lead in the division. It was a hard-fought contest where the Patriots had to mount a two-possession fourth-quarter comeback against the Baltimore Ravens, and the play that sealed the ‘W’ for New England was an excellent effort from Chaisson. The defensive end chased down wide receiver Zay Flowers from behind and punched the ball out of Flowers’ hands shortly after the two-minute warning, allowing the Pats to kneel out the win. Chaisson has put together another strong campaign, surpassing last year’s career-high with 6.5 sacks in 2025.
