Gang Green Nation predicts the Jets’ offensive line will be the decisive factor in Sunday’s clash with the Las Vegas Raiders. While the Raiders rank last in the NFL with only 5.0 yards per carry allowed, the Jets have struggled to run, averaging under 100 yards per game, though they’ve improved to 113 yards over their last three outings. The return of guard Dylan Parham restores a full starting line, giving the Jets a chance to exploit the Raiders’ porous run defense and protect Geno Smith. The piece invites fans to weigh in on who else deserves a pre‑game or pre‑blame ball.

Kickoff is just after 1:00 pm EDT with clear, sunny skies, light winds (0‑5 mph), and temperatures hovering in the low 60s. Humidity stays low and there’s virtually no rain risk.

The New York Jets host the Las Vegas Raiders in the NFL’s Week 8 matchup, a game that pits a 3-3 Jets squad against a Raiders team that fell from a 3-0 start to a four‑game losing streak. Silver and Black Pride writer Matt Holder explains the early success was helped by a soft schedule and a turnover‑driven defense, while recent losses stem from tougher opponents and a defense that now allows over 35 points per game. He also argues rookie first‑overall pick quarterback Fernando Mendoza should take the reins now, despite Coach Klint Kubiak’s decision to keep veteran Kirk Cousins as starter until the bye week.
Ahead of Sunday’s clash with the Las Vegas Raiders, the New York Jets place DT T’Vondre Sweat on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least four games. The team fills the void by signing former Clemson defensive tackle Payton Page to the active roster—he appeared in four games last season with six tackles—and promoting OT Brant Banks and edge rusher Quinton Bell from the practice squad. Bell, a 2019 seventh‑round pick with 38 career tackles, joins the Jets after stints with multiple teams.

Broncos head coach Sean Payton praises the growing confidence and pass‑rush production of OLB Que Robinson, noting his increased snap counts. In Kansas City, a rumored clash between Chiefs coach Andy Reid, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and offensive tackle Josh Simmons is downplayed by Mahomes, who says the team is having “hard conversations” but staying focused and moving in the right direction. Meanwhile, Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins admits the pressure of a rookie first‑overall pick, Fernando Mendoza, and highlights tight‑end Tre Tucker’s expanding role. Running back Ashton Jeanty calls for better communication with the offensive line to improve the ground game.
The Las Vegas Raiders head to New York for a road game against the Jets amid a four‑game losing streak, with fan confidence plummeting from 93% to 73% – the lowest level since Week 1. Despite the slump, rookie receivers Brock Bowers and Tre Tucker are on pace for 1,000 yards, and Tucker is eyeing a new contract. A win in the upcoming matchup could restore the dwindling optimism among Raider Nation.
The Steelers will be without inside linebacker Elandon Roberts for Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns, as he was not elevated from the practice squad before the deadline. Roberts re‑joined Pittsburgh on Oct. 12 after a stint with the Raiders, but will miss another game despite a healthy linebacker corps (Patrick Queen, Payton Wilson, Carson Bruener, Cole Holcomb). The team promoted two wide receivers, Brandon Smith and Brandon Johnson, to cover injuries to Michael Pittman Jr., Roman Wilson, and a questionable Ben Skowronek. Steelers coach Mike McCarthy praised Roberts' veteran grit, but the lineup remains intact.

The Steelers promote wide receiver Brandon Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster for Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns, marking his third and final elevation this season. Johnson, 27, has seen limited action—three snaps vs. Tampa Bay and eight vs. New Orleans—and has yet to be targeted. Injuries keep starters Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson on IR, leaving backup Ben Skowronek questionable with a calf issue. The team also signs practice‑squad tight end Brandon Smith to the 53‑man roster. Johnson, an undrafted UCF alum, has 26 career receptions for 335 yards and five TDs across stints with Pittsburgh, the Broncos and the Raiders.
The New York Jets are 2-5, making them one of the NFL’s most disappointing teams relative to on-paper talent level. Even so, the Jets can still step to the podium and make every excuse in the book.

The Raiders should lean heavily on blitzing to disrupt Geno Smith and the Jets’ offense in Week 8, argues Silver and Black Pride. Smith, a 70% completion veteran, still throws 21 sacks this season and falters under pressure. Las Vegas ranks fifth in total pressures (73) and third in pressure percentage (29.2%), but needs more aggressive blitzes to curb the Jets’ low‑ranking offense (27th in points, 23rd in yards). Defensive coordinator Rob Leonard, mentored by Vikings and Seahawks coaches, has already called 61 blitzes (tied 16th in the league). Targeting the run and pass with linebackers Quay Walker, Nakobe Dean and cornerback Taron Johnson could shake Smith’s confidence and stop the Raiders’ recent defensive lapses.
The Las Vegas Raiders, after a 3‑0 start and a recent four‑game skid, are under pressure over their quarterback hierarchy. Former NFL star Derek Carr appears on The Get Got Pod to back veteran Kirk Cousins, calling him the team’s captain and insisting he stay starter while the franchise remains in the playoff hunt. Rookie No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza, who showed flashes in his debut versus the Patriots, is slated for a gradual development plan, but coach Klint Kubiak says there’s no controversy yet. Cousins now faces a pivotal game to quiet critics as the Raiders balance present success with Mendoza’s future.
Will Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty follow up his criticism of the New York Jets' tackling with one of his strongest performances of the season?
Star pass rusher Maxx Crosby says he wants to stay with the Las Vegas Raiders, but interim GM John Spytek expects a flood of trade offers before the Nov. 10 deadline. After a 3‑0 start, the Raiders have dropped four straight games, prompting rival teams to inquire about the 29‑year‑old elite edge rusher. A previous deal with Baltimore fell through after a failed physical, and Crosby has since reaffirmed his commitment. Spytek may still consider cashing in for early‑round picks to rebuild around rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza.
The Jets move DT T’Vondre Sweat to injured reserve and add DT Payton Page to the active roster, reports Will Parkinson. Alongside the moves, OL Brant Banks and EDGE Quinton Bell are elevated for the Thursday night game against the Raiders. Sweat, the 2023 Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and Outland Trophy winner, was a second‑round pick (38th overall, 2024) from Texas and entered 2026 on a four‑year, $9.55 million rookie deal after a trade for DE Jermaine Johnson. He logged five tackles in seven games this season.
The Los Angeles Rams’ 2026 rookie class has contributed virtually nothing, with five draft picks logging only six total games and just one offensive snap from tight end Max Klare. First‑round quarterback Ty Simpson hasn’t taken a snap, while defensive tackle Tim Keenan is now playing for the Raiders, and other picks like C.J. Daniels and Keagen Trost remain unused or injured. The article argues that GM Les Snead’s focus on future development left the team without immediate help, especially as the Rams face injuries and depth woes at tight end, receiver, and line. It urges the Rams to give rookies meaningful snaps, noting that other teams have found rookie contributors to boost Super Bowl runs.
The Las Vegas Raiders are set to activate WR Jack Bech from injured reserve for their Week 8 showdown with the New York Jets on Sunday. Bech, the 2025 second‑round pick, missed the past four games after a fractured forearm in Week 3 but has been practicing all week and is listed as questionable. He tallied five catches for 48 yards and a touchdown before the injury, including a score in the Raiders’ 27‑13 win over Miami. With the Raiders sitting 3‑4 after a four‑game skid and the Jets at 2‑5, Bech’s return adds a needed boost to a struggling receiving corps.
Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty had some trash talk this week for the New York Jets, but their run defense film backs those statements.
The Las Vegas Raiders activate rookie WR Jack Bech from injured reserve on Oct. 31, 2026 after he heals from a broken forearm. The 23‑year‑old, a former four‑star LSU recruit who earned Second‑Team All‑Big 12 honors in 2024, has caught five passes for 48 yards and a touchdown in two games this season. The move coincides with the team placing DE Patrick Johnson on IR and promoting DT Tim Keenan and DE Cian Sloan from the practice squad. Bech was the No. 58 pick in the 2025 draft and signed a four‑year, $7.55 million rookie deal.
