Jakobi Meyers ignites Jacksonville while his former team, the Raiders, suffers another lopsided loss, highlighting a stark offensive contrast.
It’s now officially 10 losses on the season for the Las Vegas Raiders, just 12 games into the 2025 season. In their latest 31-14 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday afternoon, poor offensive play once again plagued the Raiders. Matters were only made worse when looking at the Week 13 performance of their former receiver, Jakobi Meyers, now with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Meyers put up 90 receiving yards and a touchdown on six catches for the Jaguars on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans in a 25-3 blowout. The 29-year-old led Jacksonville in receiving yards, aided by a 50-yard catch in the first quarter of Sunday’s game.
Seeing Meyers ball out with his new team can only make seeing the Raiders’ poor offense sting even worse. Las Vegas traded Meyers ahead of the trade deadline back at the beginning of November in exchange for a fourth and sixth-round selection in the upcoming draft.
Since joining Jacksonville and switching from Geno Smith throwing him balls to Trevor Lawrence, Meyers has once again become the impactful receiver football fans knew he could be. In his last three games, Meyers has tallied at least 50 receiving yards in each game, a statistic he failed to reach in his final four games with Las Vegas. In his last two, he’s also grabbed a touchdown. Despite playing in seven games with the Raiders before the trade, Meyers failed to make it into the endzone with the silver and black in 2025.
The jump since leaving the Raiders has been immediate for Meyers. It signifies the disastrous offense that Raiders fans have been subjected to all season long. On Sunday, the Raiders managed just 156 yards and scored just twice. The receiving room struggles were on display as well, with no Las Vegas receiver recording over 22 yards. Instead of a world in which Meyers led the way in Las Vegas in the passing game, the Raiders were forced to rely on their running back and tight end to muster up any type of production in the passing game.
Now, while Meyers is working his way back to being the number one receiver that many knew he was still capable of being. Unfortunately for Raiders fans, this level of production for him simply wasn’t possible in Las Vegas. While Meyers gets to be an impactful player on a team looking to make a push for a postseason spot in Jacksonville, Raiders fans are looking at a record that now reads double-digit losses. Football can come at you fast.
