The Raiders entered their Week 12 game against the New York Jets slotted in the No. 6 seed in the AFC, needing a win to tie the Kansas City Chiefs atop the AFC West.
They didn't get the win.
Instead, the Silver and Black turned in a clunker at MetLife Stadium, losing 34-3. The embarrassing defeat dropped the Raiders to 6-5 and out of the current playoff picture.
By virtue of the loss and the Steelers' win over the Bengals, Pittsburgh (6-5) jumped the Raiders for the No. 6 spot by way of conference record.
