Something that we mentioned the last time the Jets were in this column, when they beat the Cowboys, is that the Jets can stop the run. The Cowboys paid no heed to that, and they combined that with some typical Jason Garrett things and managed to lose a close game. We doubled down on the Jets run defense in this week's Upset Watch column for ESPN+ as well, noting that the Raiders had a good run offense and that things could perhaps be a bit different for them if that were stopped.
The Jets, to their credit, did the stopping again.
