The narrative is pretty well set: if the New York Jets want to win another game in 2023, it will need to come via their defense.
You’d think that this would bode well for their matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders. After all, here is a synopsis of the Raiders’ offensive futility this season.
- Points scored: 27th (after having spotted 30 on the Giants in Week 9)
- Passing yards per game: 23rd
- Rushing yards per game: 31st
- Yards per pass attempt: 20th
- Yards per carry: 31st
- Total offensive DVOA: 29th
- Offensive pass DVOA: 28th
- Offensive rush DVOA: 27th
It should be a snap for this Jets defense, right?
