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.
