HENDERSON, Nev. -- Ashton Jeanty went back to his roots Sunday, and Las Vegas Raiders coach Pete Carroll was all for it.
Despite Las Vegas falling to the Chicago Bears 25-24 at home, the rookie running back brought back his trademark stance and had his best game of the season, recording 155 total yards -- 138 on the ground -- and three touchdowns (two receiving, one rushing).
"I loved it," Carroll said.
Since high school, Jeanty stood straight up with his hands at his side in the backfield before the snap, a stance that some have compared to Michael Myers, the infamous killer from the "Halloween" horror movies.
Jeanty's stance didn't stop him from being a Heisman Trophy runner-up last year at Boise State when he rushed for 2,601 yards, the second most in a season in FBS history,
