Brock Bowers Sets NFL Mark as Raiders Beat Jets

Overview

• The Raiders won 38-33 at MetLife Stadium, with Matt Gay’s 53-yard field goal in the final 31 seconds snapping a four-game losing streak and moving Las Vegas to 4-3.
• Brock Bowers became the first tight end in NFL history to record at least 70 receiving yards in each of his first six games of a season, finishing the game with seven catches for 92 yards and two touchdowns.
• Kirk Cousins accounted for three passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown in the game and has reached 20 passing TDs through eight games, a mark that ranks third in Raiders franchise history.
• Bowers’ streak began after he missed the first two games with a meniscus injury, highlighting a rapid recovery that has made him the team’s primary downfield weapon.
• Bowers’ contested catches and consistent production are changing Raiders play-calling and could affect opponent game plans and Las Vegas’ decisions at the Nov. 10 trade deadline.
