Jets collapse in second half, lose to Raiders 38-33
Jets fell to 2-6 after a second-half collapse, losing a game they led by nine points.
The Jets scored on their first six possessions, taking a 30-21 lead into the third quarter. The Raiders scored 17 straight points due to poor Jets defence and costly penalties.
Kirk Cousins threw a go-ahead touchdown pass with 11 minutes left, and the Jets managed only a field goal after that. Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick called it a damning pattern: "Jets beating Jets."
The loss extends their losing streak to three games. Next up are AFC powers Kansas City and Buffalo, making the remaining season look bleak.
