Ahead of the divisional showdown with the Denver Broncos, the Kansas City Chiefs bench veteran left guard Kingsley Suamataia for the second time this season, opting for backup Mike Caliendo as the starter. Although Suamataia participates in warm‑ups, the change—labeled a "coach's decision" by CBS reporter Tracy Wolfson—mirrors a similar Week 4 move against the Raiders, with no injury listed. Suamataia had started the past two games after the bye, and analysts note Caliendo lacks Suamataia's talent and consistency. Head coach Andy Reid has yet to comment further.

These are six instant takeaways after the New York Jets' Week 8 loss against the Las Vegas Raiders despite a solid offensive performance.
The New York Jets fall 38‑33 to the Las Vegas Raiders in a high‑scoring, defense‑free shootout at MetLife Stadium on Nov. 1, 2026. After a 23‑14 halftime lead, the Jets’ offense scores on six straight drives, but the Raiders answer with three touchdowns, including a kickoff return by Dylan Laube. Geno Smith throws for multiple scores while Braelon Allen rushes for big gains, yet the Jets’ defense never makes a stop, allowing Kirk Cousins and Brock Bowers to connect repeatedly. The loss marks the Jets’ first 30‑point game of the season, highlighting a glaring defensive collapse.
Even when the offense does everything they can, the New York Jets can’t find a way to win. On Sunday, the Jets arguably put together their best offensive performance of the Aaron Glenn era. Yet, none of it mattered. Costly penalties and defensive woes handed the Jets another frustrating loss, as they fell 38-33 to ...

Brock Bowers, the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2024 No. 13 pick from Georgia, just became the first tight end in NFL history to record 70+ receiving yards in each of his first six games of a season. The rookie’s 2024 breakout—112 catches, 1,194 yards and five TDs, both rookie records—earned him First‑Team All‑Pro honors. Despite injury setbacks that have cost him seven games over two years, Bowers remains a potential decade‑long elite target, especially as the Raiders groom quarterback Fernando Mendoza to throw his way.
The Las Vegas Raiders stumble to a 38‑33 loss against the New York Jets, exposing deeper woes after a recent win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Running back Ashton Jeanty sees just two carries entering the fourth quarter and averages a meager 3.1 yards per attempt in his sophomore season, while still posting three receptions for 64 yards. The defense, under new head coach Aaron Glenn, allows its first 23‑point half of the year and has been outscored 107‑9 in late‑half situations. With 420+ yards given up and a sputtering ground game, the Raiders face a daunting week of adjustments.
The Los Angeles Rams host the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 8, a rare intra‑city showdown. Both clubs stumble early— the Chargers sit winless while the Rams sit at 3‑4 after a recent win over the Raiders. Quarterback Justin Herbert returns from a bye hoping to spark the Chargers, and Sean McVay needs a victory to keep the Rams at .500 and relevant. The preview offers a watch guide and highlights the high stakes for both teams despite their sluggish starts.
The Los Angeles Rams rule veteran tight end Colby Parkinson inactive for their Week 8 clash with the Los Angeles Chargers after he was listed as questionable following a grueling Week 7 game against the Las Vegas Raiders that left him with rib injuries. Parkinson’s loss hurts the Rams’ blocking depth and passing options, forcing remaining tight ends, including #5 Max Klare, to shoulder more snaps. Meanwhile, Nate Landman and Trent McDuffie return, and the defense edges toward full strength as the team awaits news on Myles Garrett.
ESPN analyst and former Jets coach Rex Ryan unleashed a scathing tirade at Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty after Jeanty claimed New York’s defense “doesn’t really want to tackle.” On Sunday NFL Countdown, Ryan called Jeanty “soft as Charmin,” labeled him the worst draft pick in two decades, and mocked his 3.1‑yard average. Ryan warned he’ll confront Jeanty before the upcoming matchup, emphasizing the rookie’s poor performance (sixth overall in 2025, 3.5 yards per carry) and the Raiders’ four‑game losing streak. The rant underscores growing tension as Las Vegas fights to salvage a faltering season.

Tyler Bass shatters the Buffalo Bills’ franchise field‑goal streak record with a 56‑yard make against the Baltimore Ravens on Oct. 18, 2026, marking his 19th consecutive successful attempt and surpassing Rian Lindell’s 18‑kick run from 2007. The streak, which began in 2024 after Bass missed the entire 2025 season due to injury, includes a perfect 13‑for‑13 season to date and a six‑game stretch of kicks over 50 yards, tying Stephen Hauschka’s record. Bass also delivered clutch kicks in recent wins over the Raiders (33‑30) and Rams (37‑34).
Despite earlier trade talks with the Ravens and interest from teams like the Rams, edge rusher Maxx Crosby has confirmed he wants to stay in Las Vegas and the Raiders have no intention of moving him. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the 29‑year‑old is “absolutely” not leaving, and the franchise has made no trade discussions as the deadline approaches. Crosby, who logged only two sacks but 37 pressures in the first seven games, remains a key defensive presence for a 3‑4 Raiders squad that faces a tough stretch ahead.
Baltimore's QB1 lasted all of one pass attempt before getting hurt again. And tis time, the Ravens can't leave their playoff hopes up to Tyler Huntley.
Rex Ryan erupts on ESPN’s “Coach’s Flicker” after Raiders rookie Ashton Jeanty calls New York Jets defenders “soft as cotton.” Jeanty, the 6th‑overall pick in the 2025 draft, has logged just 3.1 yards per carry and one rushing TD through seven games. Ryan’s tirade—complete with threats to “slap some damn Riddells” on Jeanty—sets the tone for the Week 8 clash between the sub‑.500 Raiders and Jets, both on six‑game losing streaks. With Jeanty’s production under fire, Ryan’s harsh words could become a pivotal pre‑game storyline.
