Josh Jacobs Under Fire For His ‘Tone Deaf’ Handcuff TD Celebration After Domestic Violence Arrest — Tries To Explain, But No One’s Buying It [VIDEOS]
Running back Josh Jacobs returns to the Raiders in Week 7 after missing the season’s first six games due to a May domestic‑violence arrest and a no‑contest plea. In Thursday Night Football he scores a touchdown against Detroit, but his brief handcuff‑style celebration ignites criticism for seeming to mock the incident. Jacobs claims the routine, planned with teammate Savion Williams, was inspired by a gospel song and was only a second long, not captured fully on broadcast.

Three Things I’m Looking at in the Jets vs. Raiders Game
The Jets (2‑5) face the Raiders (3‑4) on Sunday, and both clubs aim to snap losing streaks. New York’s offense ranks 6th‑worst, averaging just 19.6 points while allowing 21.4, whereas Vegas averages 26.1 points and gives up 28.1. Writer highlights how star receiver Garrett Wilson is under‑targeted compared with rivals like Tre Tucker, and notes the Jets’ chronic first‑half scoring woes and a meager 45% red‑zone touchdown rate—the league’s second‑worst. With the Raiders’ porous secondary and weak first‑half defense, Vegas could expose New York’s coaching and execution problems.
Jets’ Braelon Allen upgraded on injury report before Raiders game, but Breece Hall is not
The New York Jets receive mixed news ahead of their Week 8 clash with the Las Vegas Raiders. Backup running back Braelon Allen, who stepped up while Breece Hall was sidelined, is upgraded to full practice after an ankle issue, keeping his recent 105.3 yards per game average and a 104‑yard effort in the 28‑25 loss to Miami. Hall remains limited with a quad strain that has kept him out since Week 3. Jet injuries also mount with left guard Dylan Parham and several defenders listed as limited or out. The Jets (2‑5) aim to bounce back against the Raiders (3‑4) at 1 p.m. ET Sunday.

In a Week 8 episode of “The Edge,” linebacker Micah Parsons downplays the Kansas City Chiefs’ hype, saying only one roster flaw keeps them from true intimidation.

‘Has Been Awful’ — Analyst Has Expresses Frustration With Raiders for Sticking With Kirk Cousins Over Fernando Mendoza
Analyst Adam Schein lambasts the Las Vegas Raiders for keeping veteran Kirk Cousins as starter despite four straight losses, including a Week 7 defeat to the Rams. Schein argues that Heisman‑winning rookie Fernando Mendoza, who led Indiana to a national title, deserved the opening job and should see action after the bye against the Chargers. Coach Klint Kubiak remains loyal to Cousins, but the Raiders’ offense continues to sputter as they prepare to face the New York Jets. The quarterback debate could shape the franchise’s direction heading into the season’s second half.
Braden Fiske feeling the Aaron Donald effect
Rams defensive tackle Braden Fiske is thriving despite Aaron Donald’s return, posting a 14.9% pressure rate over his last four games—ranking sixth among interior linemen and 16th overall at 11.9% for the season. He logged three pressures against the Raiders (9.4% rate), three against the Cardinals (17.6%), and six versus the Eagles (23.1%). Though he’s yet to convert pressures into sacks, his versatility on both DT and DE spots and a 14.8% blitz pressure rate suggest he could become a long‑term cornerstone alongside Donald, filling the void left by John Franklin‑Myers.
Raiders injury news: Jackson Powers-Johnson doesn’t practice
The Las Vegas Raiders face fresh setbacks as backup right guard Jackson Powers‑Johnson sits out Thursday’s practice with a back injury after a clean workout on Wednesday.

‘Definitely The Key Move’: Bryan Broaddus Predicts Dallas Cowboys Trade For Maxx Crosby Before Deadline
Former NFL scout Bryan Broaddus tells 105.3 The Fan that the Dallas Cowboys will trade for Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby before the Nov. 10 trade deadline, calling the move the “key” to reviving a pass rush that has produced just 10 sacks in seven games. Crosby, a five‑time Pro Bowler with 71.5 career sacks, is currently a 2‑sack, $106.5 million player for Las Vegas after a failed trade to Baltimore. The Cowboys, who recently added Rashan Gary and cornerback Joey Porter Jr., could look to seal the deal ahead of their Nov. 8 matchup with the Colts, though owner Jerry Jones says a second trade is unlikely unless the right opportunity arises.
Defensive collapse, offensive impotence leading to Raiders’ freefall
The Las Vegas Raiders have slid to 3-4 after a 35-21 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, exposing a severe trench battle failure. Over four straight defeats the Raiders have allowed 656 rushing yards while gaining just 223 on the ground, ranking third‑worst in the league with only 523 total rushing yards and a 3.0‑yard per carry average. Conversely, Kirk Cousins’ aerial attack ranks second in yardage (1,883) and leads the NFL with 16 passing TDs, highlighting a stark offensive imbalance. Head coach Klint Kubuak cites poor run defense and a stagnant rush as core issues, while the defense now sits second‑worst, yielding 197 points. The article argues that coaching adjustments, roster upgrades, and a revived ground game are essential before the November 10 trade deadline.
Patriots unsuccessfully tried to claim ex-Raiders defensive tackle, per report

Laulu, a 2024 seventh‑round pick who logged 39 games and 5.5 sacks for Las Vegas, fell out of the Raiders’ rotation under new coach Klint Kubiak.

NFL GM Exposes Massive Price Tag Attached to a Maxx Crosby Trade as Deadline Looms
As the NFL trade deadline nears on Nov. 10, a Raiders GM reveals the price tag on defensive end Maxx Crosby: two first‑round picks, the same demand the Ravens tried to meet in March before a meniscus repair scuttled the deal. Despite the Raiders’ 3‑4 slump—including a 21‑35 loss to the Rams—Crosby says he embraces the doubt and plans to stay, urging the locker room to stay motivated ahead of the next game versus the Jets. Insider Jason La Canfora doubts the team will actually secure that haul, but the demand underscores Crosby’s market value.
Five Other Teams Put Claim In For Titans DT Jonah Laulu

Rookie slot receiver Omar Cooper Jr. has surged since returning from injury, posting 11 catches for 218 yards and two touchdowns, and ranks third in yards per route run among interior receivers.
