Jets fall 38-33 to Raiders as Braelon Allen posts 147 yards rushing and Adonai Mitchell hits a career-high

The Jets dropped a 38-33 decision to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, falling to 2-6 while the Raiders improved to 4-4.

Running back Braelon Allen sparked New York’s ground game with 147 rushing yards on 21 carries, including a 21-yard touchdown run in the third quarter as the Jets rebuilt a 30-21 lead.

Wide receiver Adonai Mitchell turned in a career-high 142 receiving yards and added a touchdown, with quarterback Geno Smith throwing for 290 yards (22-of-30) and totaling two touchdown passes plus one interception.

New York jumped out early and scored on each of its first-half possessions through a combination of Jason Sanders field goals and touchdowns, taking a 23-14 lead into halftime after scoring again in the final seconds before the break.

The Raiders regained control after cutting into the third-quarter deficit and then stringing together two touchdown drives to take the lead for good, going up 35-30 on Kirk Cousins’ 3-touchdown performance that included a scoring strike to Jalen Nailor with 11:33 left.

With about six minutes remaining, Smith led the Jets to the red zone but the drive stalled, and Sanders added a 31-yard field goal to pull New York within two. After Las Vegas consumed the closing minutes, Jeremy Chinn intercepted Smith in the end zone on the final play to end the game.

The Jets’ next game is set for Week 9 at Kansas City against the Chiefs.
