In Week 8, the New York Jets fall 38-33 to the Las Vegas Raiders, slipping to 2-6 and jeopardizing their AFC playoff hopes. Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick bluntly blames “bad penalties, bad mistakes” and labels the loss as typical “Jets being Jets,” noting six penalties that yielded two Raiders first downs. He also criticized the defense’s inability to stop Kirk Cousins, Brock Bowers and the Raiders’ passing attack, which posted 238 yards and two touchdowns. Fitzpatrick’s comments put pressure on defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, whose future could be in doubt if the team’s error‑prone play continues.
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn faces mounting fan backlash after the team slips to 2‑6 with a 38‑33 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8. Glenn’s record has dropped to 5‑20 overall and he’s winless in eight AFC East games, yet he insists job security isn’t on his mind, focusing on "improving this team." He cites third‑down penalties and a poor red‑zone conversion (2 of 6) as key issues. Owner Woody Johnson may wait until season’s end to decide, though former Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is rumored as a replacement. Glenn will coach the Jets against the Kansas City Chiefs on Nov 8.
After a 38-33 home loss to Las Vegas in Week 8, the New York Jets face speculation about a potential trade of running back Breece Hall before the November 5 deadline.

Insider Ian Rapoport confirmed Hall is cleared from a quad injury and likely to play next week, noting that the Jets have depth at running back with Braelon Allen’s 147-yard, one‑touchdown performance against the Raiders. With a road showdown against the Chiefs looming, the Jets appear set to keep Hall and other key players.

The Las Vegas Raiders head to Levi's Stadium for Week 9, facing a 6‑1 San Francisco 49ers after the Bay‑area club returns from a bye.

The Philadelphia Eagles, now 2-6, could trade left guard Landon Dickerson—still under contract through 2028—after his five‑game injury stint and two starts. The article lists six likely suitors: the Las Vegas Raiders, who need offensive‑line help to protect No. 1 pick quarterback Fernando Mendoza; the Cleveland Browns, desperate after a 21‑point loss and a surge in sacks; the New England Patriots, coping with injuries to Alijah Vera‑Tucker and Mike Onwenu; the Buffalo Bills, seeking to protect MVP‑level Josh Allen; the Green Bay Packers, battling line injuries; and the Denver Broncos. Each team’s specific needs and Dickerson’s Pro‑Bowl pedigree are outlined.
After a 28-24 loss to the Detroit Lions at Ford Field, the Minnesota Vikings’ offensive woes are on full display. Despite holding a late lead, the Vikings managed only two drives longer than three minutes while the Lions dominated time of possession (35:43 to 24:17). The article argues that quarterback Kyler Murray’s shotgun‑heavy style clashes with Kevin O’Connell’s play‑action, under‑center system—contrasting him with successful Vikings QBs Kirk Cousins and Sam Darnold. With few realistic trade options and the Raiders unlikely to part with Cousins (who currently ranks second in NFL TD passes), the Vikings may be stuck with Murray for the rest of the season.
In the eighth edition of the "Fernando Mendoza Meter," Kirk Cousins has cooled the heat on his seat as the Las Vegas Raiders' starting QB after a Week 8 win.

The Chargers remain winless, falling 24‑9 to the Rams as Justin Herbert throws two interceptions. Standings now show Denver 6‑2, Chiefs 5‑2, Raiders 4‑4 and Chargers 0‑7. The recap also links to Raiders’ wild‑card outlook and key player notes.

The Las Vegas Raiders had more positives than negatives in their bounce-back win against the New York Jets in Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season.
Fantasy owners looking to stream defenses for Week 9 get five under‑used options. The Chiefs (15th, 5.4 pts/game) face a low‑scoring Jets unit; the 49ers (10th, 7.0 pts) host a high‑powered Raiders offense; the Giants (20th, 5.1 pts) return from a bye against struggling Eagles; the Lions (25th, 4.0 pts) meet a 31st‑ranked Dolphins attack; and the Saints (23rd, 4.1 pts) tackle a 29th‑ranked Browns. All are owned in less than 55% of ESPN leagues, making them potential waiver‑wire steals.
The NFL widens its probe into Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs after police records reveal three more women accusing him of physical abuse dating to 2021‑2022, during his time with the Las Vegas Raiders. Jacobs, who missed six games earlier this season following a May 2026 arrest on felony strangulation charges, has been cleared to play and scored two touchdowns in a 27‑19 win over the Carolina Panthers on Oct. 29. No new criminal charges have been filed, and the Packers remain silent as the league says the new allegations will be reviewed.
The Houston Texans have signed veteran defensive tackle Naquan Jones off the San Francisco 49ers’ practice squad. Jones, who played three games for the 49ers before they opted to keep returning starters James Thompson and Mykel Williams, spent training camp with Houston, was cut in August, and then joined the Vikings before the 49ers grabbed him last month. His move frees a practice‑squad slot for San Francisco as they prepare for the Las Vegas Raiders, with DT CJ West and linebacker Sebastian Valdez looming as possible returns.
The Game Haus breaks down five under‑the‑radar RBs worth snagging in Week 9 of standard‑scoring fantasy leagues, each owned by under 55% of ESPN owners. Jonah Coleman (Broncos) is primed for a bigger role after an IR move to RJ Harvey, posting a TD and four catches vs. the Chiefs. Tyler Allgeier (Cardinals) exploded for 147 yards and two TDs while Jer Love’s ankle lingers. Raiders’ Mike Washington Jr. hauled 25 carries for 83 yards in Week 8, still a low‑draft pick at 17.5%. Packers’ MarShawn Lloyd could become a starter if Josh Jacobs gets suspended. Colts’ Seth McGowen may inherit work if Jonathan Taylor is traded before the Nov 10 deadline. All are viable waiver‑wire options for managers looking to boost their rosters.
The New York Jets fall to 2-6 after a 38-33 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8, with their defense taking most of the blame. Despite a solid offensive showing—Braelon Allen’s 147 rushing yards and Adonai Mitchell’s 142 receiving yards—Aaron Glenn’s unit allowed 33 points, yielding only one sack and struggling to contain Kirk Cousins (141.0 passer rating) and tight end Brock Bowers. A 95-yard kickoff return TD by Dylan Laube further swung momentum. The article criticizes Glenn’s play‑calling, the front seven’s lack of pressure, and special‑teams lapses, urging immediate adjustments to salvage the season.

Aaron Glenn’s decision to assume defensive play‑calling has backfired, leaving the New York Jets stuck at 2‑6 after a 38‑33 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8. Despite a strong offensive start—scoring on their first six possessions, a feat achieved by only two other teams in 45 years—the Jets’ defense collapsed, prompting ESPN’s Rich Cimini to note the historic rarity. Analysts from ESPN, The Athletic and the New York Post debate Glenn’s future, with many predicting his firing as inevitable. The article links to multiple recaps and reactions, highlighting Braelon Allen’s 147‑yard rush and Adonai Mitchell’s career game amid the defeat.
