Raiders’ Run Game Collapses in 33–16 Loss to Cowboys

Jeanty’s six carries for a team that finished with 27 rushing yards intensified scrutiny of Chip Kelly’s playcalling.

Overview

  • Las Vegas fell to 2-8 with a fourth straight loss, dropping Monday night’s game to Dallas 33-16 at Allegiant Stadium.
  • The Raiders managed just 27 rushing yards as No. 6 pick Ashton Jeanty had six carries for seven yards and said, “I don’t call the plays… that’s up to the guys upstairs.”
  • Head coach Pete Carroll defended his approach after the game, saying the staff tried different offensive line combinations and believed those were the best options.
  • Carroll’s lineup shifts included work for Jordan Meredith and Will Putnam while rookie Caleb Rogers remained inactive despite Jackson Powers-Johnson’s injury.
  • The Sporting News, citing Ari Meirov, reported organizational friction over youth development and suggested Carroll and offensive coordinator Chip Kelly may not return next season, while opinion pieces criticized Kelly for rarely calling runs.
