Jets Lose 38-33 to Raiders as Geno Smith’s Big Throws Fall Short

Overview

• The Jets were defeated 38-33 by the Las Vegas Raiders after a late Geno Smith interception ended New York’s comeback bid.
• Geno Smith completed 20 of 32 passes for 290 yards and two touchdowns while throwing one interception that sealed the loss.
• New York converted only 2 of 6 red-zone trips, a shortcoming reporters identified as the decisive difference in the final score.
• The offense showed an aggressive downfield profile with a team average depth of target of 15.58 yards and big games from running back Braelon Allen and receiver Adonai Mitchell.
• The result renewed public debate over the Jets’ quarterback situation and leaves the team facing a key road matchup at Kansas City next week for further evaluation.
