The Las Vegas Raiders ended a four-game skid Sunday with a 38-33 victory over the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The win brought the Raiders back to .500 on the season despite the defense allowing 439 yards from scrimmage.
Coach Klint Kubiak and quarterback Kirk Cousins were scheduled to meet with reporters following the game. The contest marked the first action for rookie running back Mike Washington Jr., who received the team's first-quarter carries, while Trey Zuhn III started at right guard and Jermod McCoy saw playing time.
Wide receiver Dont'e Thornton Jr. was inactive for the matchup, though the team expected to have Jack Bech available after placing a defensive player on injured reserve to open a roster spot. Running back Ashton Jeanty provided a highlight in the win, offering a reminder that entertainment still has a place in the modern game.
The victory came after a month without a win for Las Vegas. The Jets entered the game with potential extra motivation following comments made about their defense by Jeanty earlier in the week.
