OAKLAND – The New York Jets like to win games at the line of scrimmage, with dominance on both sides of the ground game. During Sunday afternoon’s 34-20 win, the Raiders beat them at their own game.
They caged Jets feature back Chris Ivory and, on offense, the line allowed Raiders running back Latavius Murray to run free.
That was the hope heading into this key AFC clash, and plan played out perfectly. Murray had 113 yards on 20 carries (5.7 ypc) against the NFL’s best run defense, and the defense held one of the league’s best backs to 17 yards on 15 carries.
