5 interesting stats from Jets’ Week 12 win over Raiders

The Jets won their third consecutive game of the season, beating the Raiders 34-3 in dominating fashion.

The Jets played their most dominating football of the season in a 34-3 rout of the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.

After turning in two consecutive performances with 34 points scored, New York did so a third time against a playoff-hungry Oakland team. Adam Gase has the Jets playing their best football of the season and the offense is starting to look like what he imagined in the preseason.

On the other side of the football, Gregg Williams is doing some amazing things on defense, especially with the team so thin at linebacker and cornerback.

Let’s take a look at some interesting stats from Gang Green’s fourth win of the season.

Thirty-four appears to be the Jets’ lucky number lately. They’ve scored that many points three games in a row, and it was Brain Poole — the owner of No. 34 — who put the cherry on top of New York’s third consecutive win with his third-quarter pick-six.

This is the first time in the Super Bowl era that a team has scored 34 points in three straight games, according to ESPN Stats and Info. The last time the Jets scored 34 or more points in three straight games was in 2008 when Brett Favre was quarterbacking Gang Green.
