    The New York Jets suffered another devastating loss, falling to the Las Vegas Raiders 38-33 after building a 30-21 lead. New York scored on its first six offensive possessions, but a struggling defense couldn't keep the Raiders out of the end zone. Kirk Cousins threw for 247 yards and three touchdowns, while Geno Smith and Adonai Mitchell connected for a big day through the air. We break down the defensive collapse, the red-zone play-calling problems, Aaron Glenn's future and why the Jets' coaching situation may be just as concerning as their record. With Kansas City and Buffalo next on the schedule, the road ahead doesn't get any easier. Meanwhile, the Giants managed to gain ground in the NFC East without even playing. The Cowboys blew a late lead against the Cardinals, losing 33-30 in overtime after Gardner Minshew led an impressive comeback. The Eagles also stumbled, falling 27-10 to Washington after jumping out to an early 10-0 lead. With Philadelphia now 2-6 and Dallas at 3-5, the Giants sit in a surprisingly favorable position at 4-2-1. We also look at the Jets' growing draft possibilities, including the valuable picks they could have coming from Indianapolis and Dallas or Green Bay. In college football, the top of the rankings took a major turn. Miami survived a scare against North Carolina to remain No. 1, while USC knocked off Ohio State and sent the Buckeyes tumbling nine spots.
