Story summary

On November 1, 2026, the Las Vegas Raiders defeated the New York Jets in a high-scoring game at MetLife Stadium with a final score of 38-33. The Raiders' victory snapped their four-game losing streak and was marred by poor defensive performance; they became the first NFL team to allow at least 30 points in five consecutive games since the Detroit Lions did so across the 2020 and 2021 seasons. The game saw a significant number of Raiders fans filling MetLife Stadium, making it difficult for the Jets to play as if they were on home turf. Despite allowing numerous points, Kirk Cousins led the Raiders' comeback with three touchdown passes and one rushing touchdown. Meanwhile, the Jets suffered their third consecutive loss and remain without a clear path to victory this season.

🔮 “I got hit on one of the touchdowns and didn’t know that Jalen [Nailor] scored, but I could hear our Raiders fans,” Cousins added.
🔮 Under different circumstances, the career-best performances by Braelon Allen and Adonai Mitchell could be celebrated as the Jets developing playmakers to complement Garrett Wilson.
🔮 Tanking would make sense — if the Colts hadn’t previously traded their first-round pick to the Jets.
🔮 If John Harbaugh were picking between two Michigan-bred quarterbacks this week, the Giants would start J.J. McCarthy over Tom Brady.
🔮 Edmunds will go from logging every defensive snap in the first six games to missing every snap in the final 11, The Post confirmed, after he was injured late in last week’s game against the Saints.
🔮 Maybe it’s time for the NFL to change its logo to include a player’s hand punching at the football that sits atop the shield.
🔮 “Maybe now 20 percent of that 30 that was gone is back,” Nagy said before Thursday’s practice.
🔮 McCarthy’s last pass — on fourth-and-1 from the 14-yard line with 12 seconds remaining — fell incomplete or else the Giants would’ve had a chance to win the game or send it to overtime despite trailing 34-10 when the quarterback change was made with 11:36 to go.
🔮 tRY IT NOW“I would love for us to be in that kind of a circumstance,” Harbaugh said.
🔮 If J.J. McCarthy was guaranteed to throw for 943 yards, rush for 104 yards and lead 12 scoring drives in his next start, then the Giants wouldn’t have a quarterback controversy on their hands.
