Jets rushing offense vs the Raiders rushing defense

Despite having Le’Veon Bell, the Jets have found no success in running the ball this season. The Jets only rush for 72.1 yards a game, ranking 31st in the NFL. This can be attributed to a lot of things, whether it is the beat-up offensive line, play calling, or just the fact that the Jets are not very good at running the ball.

The Raiders run defense has been solid this year, and even though Joe Mixon had a good game against them last week, they still were able to hold him to under 100 rushing yards, and the Bengals only scored ten points on the day.

The Raiders, like other teams, should have no problem shutting down the Jets offense, which means the game will be in Sam Darnold’s hands.
