Quick Summary

Raiders fans overwhelmed MetLife Stadium during a game against the Jets, turning what should have been a home advantage for the Jets into a de facto road game. With an estimated crowd of 70,080, Raiders supporters were particularly vocal in the second half, causing difficulties for the Jets' offense, especially when left tackle Olu Fashanu committed a false start due to crowd noise. Both teams acknowledged the impact of the fan presence, with Jets receiver Garrett Wilson emphasizing the need to perform despite the noisy environment and Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins appreciating the support from his fans.

Story summary

On November 1, 2026, the New York Jets suffered a humiliating 38-33 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in a home game at MetLife Stadium. The Jets had previously lost two consecutive road games and desperately needed this match to turn their season around. However, despite strong individual performances by players like Braelon Allen and Adonai Mitchell, who both recorded career-best stats, the team's overall defense struggled significantly. Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins threw for 247 yards with three touchdowns and made a viral moment after scoring a touchdown run. Additionally, an unusually large number of Raiders fans at MetLife Stadium disrupted the Jets' home-field advantage, with loud chanting that hindered the Jets' offense during critical moments of the game. The loss leaves the Jets in a difficult position, having now dropped three games in a row and raising serious questions about their ability to secure another 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.

Narrative

The crowd of 70,080 had its share of black and silver jerseys at kickoff, but it was never clearer that the Jets were playing a “road” game at home in their 38-33 loss Sunday than when left tackle Olu Fashanu committed a false start on third-and-5 as Raiders fans made it difficult to hear Geno Smith barking out signals.
