The Las Vegas Raiders had a disappointing season, finishing with a record of 6-11. In a campaign that didn't have many bright spots, two of them were the play of running back Josh Jacobs and wide receiver Davante Adams.

With the seasons Jacobs and Adams had statistically, they could have been considered for the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year award, but both were left off the ballot.

When defensive end Maxx Crosby asked why this was the case on Twitter, Josh Jacobs had a great reason for being left out of consideration.

It's understood analytics and stats are a big deal when it comes to sports, but as Jacobs pointed out in this response, wins and losses are the ones that truly matter when everything concludes.

Judging off of individual stats, it would be hard to argue against Jacobs and Adams getting votes for OPOY. The running back led the league in rushing yardage with 1,653, to go along with 12 touchdowns. He also had 53 receptions for 400 yards. Adams caught 100 passes for 1,516 yards and 14 TDs (first in the NFL). From that standpoint, Crosby has a case.

Having said that, stats can become empty if they aren't resulting in wins, regardless of the reason. With the Raiders not coming close to making the playoffs, anything Jacobs and Adams did during the regular season is pretty much eliminated on that premise alone.

For the record, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson, and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes are the finalists. All of these candidates are on teams that made the playoffs.

To the victor goes the spoils, and the same goes for these awards.
