Raiders Jets Score: Las Vegas Leads 35-33 Late in the Fourth Quarter at MetLife
The Las Vegas Raiders have come from 23-14 down at halftime to lead the New York Jets 35-33 with two minutes left — Kirk Cousins has thrown three touchdown passes and run for a fourth score in a Week 8 shootout that is still in progress.
The Las Vegas Raiders are two minutes from ending their losing streak — or two minutes from another heartbreak. Las Vegas leads the New York Jets 35-33 at the two-minute warning at MetLife Stadium, in the live feed read by the desk, with the Raiders holding the ball at the Jets' 37 and New York out of timeouts. The game is in progress; the final score files in the next cycle.
Kirk Cousins has carried the comeback. The Raiders' quarterback is 19 of 26 for 247 yards with touchdown passes of 12 and 2 yards to Brock Bowers and the go-ahead 2-yard score to Jalen Nailor early in the fourth quarter, plus a 1-yard rushing touchdown of his own. Bowers has 7 catches for 92 yards and two scores, and Dylan Laube's 95-yard kickoff return — the first kickoff-return touchdown in the NFL this season, according to NBC Sports — kept Las Vegas in it during a first half the Jets controlled.
New York scored on its first six possessions and led 23-14 at halftime behind Geno Smith's two touchdown passes, but the Jets have managed only a Braelon Allen 21-yard touchdown run and two Jason Sanders field goals since. Allen has 147 rushing yards and Adonai Mitchell 142 receiving yards for the Jets, whose last field goal, from 31 yards with 4:35 left, cut the Raiders' lead to two.
