Raiders’ Jacobs briefly hospitalized, arrested on DUI suspicion after crash
Josh Jacobs, who had scored a crucial touchdown in the final seconds of the Raiders’ season-ending 3231 win over the Broncos, was taken to a hospital for minor injuries at around 4:40 a.m.
Las Vegas police said Jacobs was involved in an accident near the McCarran Airport Connector and East Sunset Road in Las Vegas. After he was checked out at a local hospital, Jacobs was transported to the Clark County Detention Center and booked for suspicion of DUI.
Jacobs’ attorneys, David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal, “No complaint has been filed against our client and there are no blood tests results to support a suggestion of impairment. We intend to enter a not guilty plea on behalf of Mr. Jacobs if he is ever charged.” CHARGERS FIRE HEAD COACH AFTER 4 SEASONS » The Los Angeles Chargers fired coach Anthony Lynn less than two seasons after he led the franchise to the playoffs.
Lynn is the sixth NFL coach fired this season, joining Houston’s Bill O’Brien, Atlanta’s Dan Quinn, Detroit’s Matt Patricia, Adam Gase of the New York Jets and Jacksonville’s Doug Marrone.
Los Angeles won its final four games to finish 7-9, but it wasn’t enough to save Lynn’s job.
