Jets Host Raiders at MetLife in Week 8

The game will measure whether the Jets can exploit the Raiders' struggling run defense to stop Las Vegas' slide despite Kirk Cousins' league-leading touchdown production.

Overview

  • The New York Jets (2-5) will host the Las Vegas Raiders (3-4) in Week 8 at MetLife Stadium as both teams try to end recent losing streaks.
  • Kirk Cousins enters with a clear edge in scoring impact, leading the NFL with 16 touchdown passes and ranking third in passing yards through seven games.
  • Raiders defensive issues present a clear target: they have allowed about 140.6 rushing yards per game and roughly 6.5 yards per play during the four-game skid.
  • Game planning is a focal point with Jets play-caller Aaron Glenn and Raiders offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak framed as a strategic 'chess match' that could decide in-game adjustments.
  • FOX will carry the matchup with Chris Myers, Jonathan Vilma and Megan Olivi on the call, and the series history favors Las Vegas, which has 27 wins in 49 meetings and won the last two head-to-head games.
