Stud: The Coaching Staff
Adam Gase has taken a lot of heat this season and for good reason, but the Jets head coach deserves credit for the way his team performed on Sunday.
Gase’s play-calling was spectacular. He was drawing up trick plays, allowing Sam Darnold to show off his mobility, lining up Le’Veon Bell in the slot and executing a perfect balance between the passing game.
Sunday marked the first time in franchise history that the Jets have had a lead of least 30 in consecutive games, and that reflects well on Gase.
On the other side of the football, Gregg Williams always has his troops ready to play. Derek Carr went 15-27, throwing for 127 yards and an interception while New York’s run defense held Josh Jacobs to 34 yards on 10 carries. The team’s patchwork defense played physical and flew around in the team’s 34-3 win, holding the Raiders without a touchdown.
