Fans of high-profile offensive shootouts might not have minded an interruption from Heidi with the way the New York Jets-Las Vegas Raiders tilt is going so far. But things have, at the very least, played into the hands of the Jets in their latest showdown, this time in Sin City.
Behind a trio of triples from Greg Zuerlein, the Jets are on pace to make headway in the logjam that is the AFC Wild Card picture with a slim 9-6 lead over the Raiders at Allegiant Stadium. The Raiders have been able to counter with a Daniel Carlson field goal pairing of their own, as Jamien Sherwood and Jordan Whitehead each earned sacks while the latter also snagged an interception from Aidan O’Connell.
