Main Story: The Raiders head to New York looking to end a four-game road losing streak against a more competitive Jets team. Geno Smith has been efficient, while rookie edge rusher David Bailey leads a defense that ranks among the league’s best in several key categories. Las Vegas has the stronger offense on paper, but its struggling defense faces a test against the Jets.

By the Numbers
  • The Jets are 2-5; four of their five losses were by one score or less.
  • Smith has thrown for 1,623 yards, 10 touchdowns and 2 interceptions, completing 70% of his passes.
  • Bailey leads New York with 5.5 sacks, 7 tackles for loss, 9 quarterback hits and 3 forced fumbles.
  • The Raiders average 26.1 points per game, compared with 19.6 for the Jets.
  • The Raiders allow 373.7 yards per game; the Jets allow 315.4.
Yes, But

New York’s record is poor, but its close losses suggest the team is tougher than its standing indicates. The Jets’ defense ranks fifth in passing yards allowed and has 19 sacks, while Las Vegas has struggled defensively and ranks 30th against the run.

State of Play
  • The Raiders are trying to snap a four-game road losing streak; the Jets have lost their last two.
  • Kickoff is Sunday, Nov. 1, at 10 a.m. PT in New York.
  • Las Vegas leads the all-time series 25-18-2 and won the teams’ last meeting, 16-12, in 2023.
What's Next

The matchup will test whether Las Vegas’ higher-scoring offense can capitalize against New York’s strong pass defense—and whether the Raiders can contain Smith and Bailey’s pressure. Brock Bowers, Maxx Crosby and Ashton Jeanty also have milestones within reach.

Bottom Line

The Raiders have the offensive edge, but their defensive vulnerabilities and New York’s ability to keep games close make this a legitimate road challenge—not a routine opportunity to end the skid.
