Here is a look at three crucial plays from the Jets’ 45-20 loss to the Raiders after reviewing the coaches’ tape.
Third quarter, 3:39 left: Raiders have the ball, third-and-1 on the Jets’ 43
The Jets had just kicked a field goal and were trailing 21-13, so there was still hope until this one opened the floodgates.
The Raiders came out with three wide receivers split to the right of the formation and Cordarrelle Patterson split to the left. By spreading the field, the Raiders left the Jets with very few defenders in the middle of the defense.
