Jets vs. Raiders: Possible history for Jamal Adams, test for New York’s cornerback duo among pregame storylines

Jets Wire breaks down New York’s Week 12 matchup with the Raiders with four pregame storylines to keep an eye on.

Don’t look now, but the Jets have a chance to make it three wins in a row when the Oakland Raiders come to town on Sunday afternoon.

Oakland has been one of the AFC’s resurgent teams so far this season, sitting at 6-4 and positioned well to challenge for a Wild Card spot. However, the Raiders have not been good away from home in 2019, giving New York a legitimate chance to climb to 4-7 after a disastrous start to the season.

What should Jets fans be keeping an eye on before kickoff? Let’s take a look at some intriguing pregame storylines.

The man who calls himself the President will have a chance to make history when he takes the field against the Raiders on Sunday.

Jamal Adams is only two sacks away from tying Adrian Wilson’s NFL record for sacks in a single season by a defensive back (eight). Three sacks against Oakland would give him sole possession of the record.

Adams has been on fire lately, but given how solid the Raiders’ offensive line has been in 2019, it’s hard to see Week 12 being the week Adams makes history. Either way, he’s getting close to etching his name into the NFL record books only three years into his career.
