Todd Bowles jokes about a win without a pass after Baker Mayfield finished a rain‑soaked Buccaneers victory with zero completions, recalling the 1974 Bills beat the Jets on the ground. The Bucs sit 3‑5 as they dig in. Carolina’s Jaelan Phillips is day‑to‑day, with RB Jonathon Brooks and WR Xavier Legette awaiting clearance to return, while CB Marco Wilson stays in the lineup and DC Ejiro Evero has been fired. Saints rookie WR Jordyn Tyson may debut in Week 9 versus Cleveland after a summer hamstring setback, according to Adam Schefter.

The AFC roundup highlights three storylines: The Bills credit a post‑bye defensive boost under new coordinator Jim Leonhard, with LB Terrel Bernard saying the team is finally syncing on scheme and communication. Dolphins QB Malik Willis defends his candid rebuke of RB Ollie Gordon’s taunting penalty, earning praise from head coach Jeff Hafley for his honesty and leadership. Meanwhile, Jets head coach Aaron Glenn rebuffs trade gossip about RB Breece Hall, insisting he’s staying, while insider Connor Hughes claims tension between WR Garrett Wilson and former QB Aaron Rodgers could spark a trade request if Rodgers returns for a third season.
In Week 8’s 31‑24 win over the New York Jets, rookie right guard Trey Zuhn III earned his first NFL start and impressed head coach Klint Kubiak, who praised Zuhn’s calmness and preparation. Zuhn logged three impact plays – tied for third among Raiders linemen and just two behind center Tyler Linderbaum – suggesting he could stick around as a starter. The Raiders also broke a four‑game rushing slump, posting 95 yards on the ground, and quarterback Kirk Cousins was sacked only once. Kubiak added updates on running‑back splits, cornerback injuries, and depth‑chart rotations as the team looks ahead to a showdown with the 49ers.

Amid a 2‑5 start, New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn deflects job‑security questions by blaming the team’s failure to win close games. After a 28‑25 loss to Miami on Oct. 25, Glenn highlighted that the Jets have been outscored 27‑0 in the final two minutes before halftime and 107‑6 in those situations overall. He admitted his dual role in two‑minute decisions and defensive calls adds pressure, but says the owners, including Woody Johnson, aren’t likely to fire him this season. Analysts note his future hinges on turning tight games into wins before the offseason evaluation.
The New York Jets need to move Jarvis Brownlee Jr. to the bench after another bad outing, and they should be playing rookie D'Angelo Ponds more.
The Steelers, 6-2 and atop the AFC North after a 27-6 win over Cleveland, are reportedly scouting Jets star wideout Garrett Wilson before the trade deadline. NFL insider Jason La Canfora hinted at interest on X, noting a potential deal would likely require at least a first‑round pick. Wilson, who posted a career‑high 101 catches for 1,104 yards and seven TDs with quarterback Aaron Rodgers in 2024, could give Pittsburgh a premier pass‑catcher as they chase a playoff run. However, the rebuilding Jets may prefer to keep him for their future quarterback, making the trade costly and uncertain.
Kirk Cousins quiets Raiders’ quarterback‑change chatter by engineering a 38‑33 comeback win over the New York Jets in Week 8. The veteran threw for 247 yards, completing 19 of 26 passes and delivering all four Raiders touchdowns—including a rushing score and his signature “Wellness Celebration.” Cousins’ 73.1% completion rate and zero turnovers earn him at least two more starts as Las Vegas fights for a wild‑card spot. Meanwhile, rookie tight end Brock Bowers posts the week’s highest PFF receiving grade (92.2) with 92 yards and two scores, while the Raiders’ run defense remains a liability despite the victory.
Las Vegas Raiders defensive coordinator Rob Leonard is nearing the end of his hope after his first "F" showing against the New York Jets in Week 8.
NFL insider Jason La Canfora tells Casino Guru News that the Pittsburgh Steelers, sitting 6‑2, are “pretty ambitious” and could target Jets wideout Garrett Wilson to complement DK Metmetcalf, Jaylen Warren and their tight ends. He dismisses claims that Wilson is “untouchable,” calling them “complete bullsh*t,” despite Wilson’s four‑year, $130 million extension with New York and a reportedly icy relationship with Aaron Rodgers. La Canfora suggests a trade could happen before the November 10 deadline, sparking debate over the Steelers’ offseason moves.
New York Jets tight end Kenyon Sadiq has been a non-factor since his explosive Week 3 performance, and it's becoming a major concern.
NFL insider Jason La Canfora hints that the Pittsburgh Steelers, sitting 6‑2 before their bye, may target New York Jets receiver Garrett Wilson in a bold trade move. With WR depth a glaring issue—DK Metcalf underperforming and injuries mounting—General Manager Omar Khan could swing for Wilson, a potential game‑changer alongside Aaron Rodgers. The Steelers are also linked to Jaguars’ Brian Thomas Jr. and Colts’ Josh Downs, who both seek fresh starts. The Colts want a third‑round pick for Downs, while the Jaguars reportedly ask for a Day 2 draft slot. With the trade deadline Dec. 10 looming, the Steelers are in the mix for a top receiver.
Lamar Jackson’s thumb injury during Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills likely sidelines the Ravens’ star quarterback for the rest of the season, as he heads to the IR for surgery. Baltimore’s 36-10 loss was compounded by backup Tyler Huntley’s injury, echoing the Jets’ 2024 collapse after Aaron Rodgers’ early exit. The article questions whether Jackson’s misfortune signals the end of the Ravens’ competitive era, recalling past heartbreaks like Mark Andrews’ missed two‑point conversion in the 2025 playoffs.
The New York Jets stand to hold three potential top‑10 picks in the 2027 NFL Draft after flipping Quinnen Williams for Dallas' first‑rounder and acquiring two Indianapolis selections from the Sauce Gardner trade. With the Colts offloading Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner and the Cowboys sitting 3‑5, the Jets could draft a franchise quarterback—Drew Mestemaker (Oklahoma State), CJ Carr (Notre Dame) or Trinidad Chambliss (Ole Miss)—and still add elite defensive talent like EDGE rusher Colin Simmons (Texas) and linebacker Chris Cole (Georgia). The article outlines why each prospect is a must‑have as New York looks to overhaul its roster.
The New York Jets, stuck under first‑time coach Aaron Glenn after losses to the Raiders and winless Dolphins, may fire him this offseason. The article weighs three coaching prospects: former Bills boss Sean McDermott, whose 98‑50 record and five straight AFC East titles could bring stability; Baltimore Ravens’ offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, a rising play‑caller with a modern offensive mind; and Pittsburgh Steelers legend Mike Tomlin, who has never posted a losing season in 19 years. Each candidate offers a different path to reviving a franchise that hasn’t seen playoff success since Rex Ryan’s 2009‑10 runs.
After a 28-24 loss to the Denver Broncos on Nov. 1, the Kansas City Chiefs slip to 5‑2, ending a 5‑0 start and sparking a two‑game skid. Tight end Travis Kelce takes the blame, calling out the 11 penalties (105 yards) and “little things” that cost the team, and vows to be better for his teammates. He finished with five catches for 67 yards while Patrick Mahomes threw for 321 yards and three TDs, but a false‑start, a fourth‑down sack and missed execution halted the comeback. The Chiefs aim to snap the streak against the New York Jets next.
Las Vegas Raiders RB/RS Dylan Laube made an ironclad case for a Pro Bowl nod, and potentially more, in the Week 8 win over the New York Jets.
The Las Vegas Raiders erased a 23‑14 halftime deficit to beat the New York Jets 38‑33 at MetLife Stadium, snapping a four‑game losing streak and moving to 4‑4. After a sluggish first half and a 95‑yard kickoff return by Dylan Laube, the Raiders surged in the second half, scoring 24 unanswered points. Kirk Cousins threw three TDs for 297 yards, while tight end Brock Bowers hauled in a one‑handed TD and a two‑yard score. The defense forced a late interception by Jeremy Chinn to seal the win. The comeback highlighted the team's new resilience under coach Klint Kubiak.
The easy explanation of Sunday is that Kirk Cousins and the defense flipped a...
The post Inside the Raiders’ 2nd-Half Turnaround against the Jets appeared first on Raiders Beat .
The New York Jets’ 38‑33 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Nov. 1 highlighted a fundamentally weak defense and missed opportunities on offense. While the offense managed a season‑high 33 points, four red‑zone field goals and three stalled drives cost them a potential 19 points. Rookie pass‑rusher David Bailey’s inconsistent play exposed a pass rush built around a single, inexperienced player, and the unit repeatedly struggled to contain Raiders tight end Brock Bowers. Special teams, once league‑best, regressed with a kickoff return touchdown allowed. The article argues that despite modest talent upgrades, the Jets lack the depth and coaching quality to cover their defensive and execution flaws, making every mistake costly.
The 2026 New York Jets are 2-6, a record that will always frustrate an NFL fanbase and generate criticism from the media. But for this particular Jets team, it’s not just about the record, but the way they have arrived to it. New York keeps losing games in the same fashion: They play competitively behind ...
