(AP) A year after entering November in search of their first win, Derek Carr and the Oakland Raiders are right in contention in the AFC. Carr threw for 333 yards and four touchdowns to help Oakland pick apart the New York Jets' vaunted defense in a victory Sunday that put the Raiders in the thick of the playoff race. Carr's rapid development from an up-and-down rookie season is one of the biggest reasons the Raiders (4-3) have gone from a team that lost its first 10 games last year to one that has a winning record this late in the season for the first time since "We want more," Carr said. "We're not satisfied with 'We're over.500.' We're not satisfied with that. I'm not built that way." Latavius Murray ran for 113 yards, Andre Holmes caught two touchdown passes and Michael Crabtree had 102 yards receiving and a score. Taiwan Jones added his first career score on a tackle-breaking 59- yard catch and run that exposed a New York defense that had been outstanding the first six games. Charles Woodson chipped in with his fifth interception and celebrated with the fans, hopeful the Raiders can finally end a 12-year run of no winning records or playoff berths. "The last couple of years have been rough," Woodson said. "It feels good to be on the other side. It feels good to get the ball. It feels good to go play to the crowd when your team is playing well. There's no feeling like it in the world." 2 P a g e

3 Ryan Fitzpatrick left with a torn left thumb ligament on the opening drive for the Jets (4-3), who have lost two straight games. Former starter Geno Smith threw for 265 yards and two TD passes in his first action since losing the job in training camp after getting punched in the locker room by teammate IK Enemkpali. Smith then left in the closing minute on a hard hit by Ray-Ray Armstrong after being drilled earlier in the fourth quarter by David Amerson on a long run down the sideline. Fitzpatrick returned despite the injury and threw two passes before Smith returned. Fitzpatrick will have an MRI to determine the extent of the injury. "Unfortunately just couldn't really grip the ball, couldn't really do anything with pressure," he said. After scoring on the first seven drives in last week's win at San Diego, the Raiders were once again almost perfect on offense at the start. Carr threw touchdown passes on the first drives as the Raiders controlled the line of scrimmage and broke numerous tackles in the secondary. Carr was helped out by his receivers making big gains after the catch with Crabtree breaking tackles from Demario Davis, Cromartie and Marcus Williams on his 36-yard touchdown and Jones running around and through half the Jets defense on his long score. "We probably had something like over 20-something missed tackles," defensive back Antonio Cromartie said. "That's something that we can't do. When you have the missed tackles, penalties and giving up long touchdowns, you're automatically going to lose that game." But Carr also showed the ability to throw the deep ball, connecting on a 49-yarder to Holmes that made it 21-3 late in the first half. Carr now has seven TD passes and no interceptions the past two weeks. "We have a lot of weapons and we have a lot of hungry guys," Crabtree said. "A lot of guys want the ball, a lot of guys want to get that extra yard, and it's helping us. We're feeding each other and trying to get the win." The Raiders also shut down the Jets running game. Chris Ivory, who came in averaging more than 100 yards a game, was held to 17 yards on 15 carries behind a line missing starting center Nick Mangold. NOTES: Carr joined Rich Gannon (2002) and Jeff Hostetler (1994) as the only Raiders QBs since the merger to throw for 300 or more yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions....

Jets QBs banged up in loss to Raiders (Josh Dubow) Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) Ryan Fitzpatrick hurt his thumb on the opening drive. Geno Smith left briefly with an injured abdomen and left shoulder on New York's final drive. Things didn't go much better in between as the Jets' vaunted defense got carved up for a second straight week. Derek Carr threw for 333 yards and four touchdowns and the Jets struggled to get going offensively until the game was almost out of reach before losing to the Oakland Raiders on Sunday. "We had issues with everything," coach Todd Bowles said. "We didn't do anything well, so everything they did, they did it well." 3 P a g e

4 After opening the season with four wins in five games, the Jets (4-3) have lost two straight. Only this time it came against an up-and-coming team looking to establish itself rather than the defending Super Bowl champion Patriots. Latavius Murray ran for 113 yards, Andre Holmes caught two touchdown passes and Michael Crabtree had 102 yards receiving and a score. Taiwan Jones added his first career score on a tackle-breaking 59- yard catch and run as the Raiders (4-3) exposed a New York defense that had been outstanding the first six games. "We probably had something like over 20-something missed tackles," defensive back Antonio Cromartie said. "That's something that we can't do. When you have the missed tackles, penalties and giving up long touchdowns, you're automatically going to lose that game." Both quarterbacks getting banged up and a lack of a running game didn't help matters. Fitzpatrick injured his thumb on a scramble on the opening drive. Former starter Smith threw for 265 yards and two TD passes in his first action since losing the job in training camp after getting punched in the locker room by teammate IK Enemkpali. Smith then left in the closing minute on a hard hit by Ray-Ray Armstrong after being drilled earlier in the fourth quarter by David Amerson on a long run down the sideline. "I may have been playing a little faster than normal simply because I hadn't played all year," Smith said. "I think once I settled down and got the feel of everything, I was able to play a little bit better." Fitzpatrick returned despite the injury and threw two passes before Smith returned. Fitzpatrick will have an MRI to determine the extent of the injury. "Unfortunately, just couldn't really grip the ball, couldn't really do anything with pressure," he said. After scoring on the first seven drives in last week's win at San Diego, the Raiders were once again almost perfect on offense at the start. Carr threw touchdown passes on the first drives as the Raiders controlled the line of scrimmage and broke numerous tackles in the secondary. Carr was helped out by his receivers making big gains after the catch with Crabtree breaking tackles from Demario Davis, Cromartie and Marcus Williams on his 36-yard touchdown and Jones running around and through half the Jets defense on his long score.

5 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) Charles Woodson came down with the interception and immediately celebrated with his adoring fans. A year after almost nothing went well for the Oakland Raiders, they have plenty to feel good about so far this season. Derek Carr threw for 333 yards and four touchdowns to help Oakland pick apart the New York Jets' vaunted defense in a victory Sunday that put the Raiders in the thick of the playoff race. After winning just 11 games the past three years, the Raiders (4-3) are one of five AFC teams with a winning record. "The last couple of years have been rough," Woodson said. "It feels good to be on the other side. It feels good to get the ball. It feels good to go play to the crowd when your team is playing well. There's no feeling like it in the world." Latavius Murray ran for 113 yards, Andre Holmes caught two touchdown passes and Michael Crabtree had 102 yards receiving and a score. Taiwan Jones added his first career score on a tackle-breaking 59- yard catch and run that exposed a New York defense that had been outstanding the first six games. "We have a lot of weapons and we have a lot of hungry guys," Crabtree said. "A lot of guys want the ball, a lot of guys want to get that extra yard, and it's helping us. We're feeding each other and trying to get the win." Ryan Fitzpatrick left with a torn left thumb ligament on the opening drive for the Jets (4-3), who have lost two straight games. Former starter Geno Smith threw for 265 yards and two TD passes in his first action since losing the job in training camp after getting punched in the locker room by teammate IK Enemkpali. Smith then left in the closing minute on a hard hit by Ray-Ray Armstrong after being drilled earlier in the fourth quarter by David Amerson on a long run down the sideline. Fitzpatrick returned despite the injury and threw two passes before Smith returned. Fitzpatrick will have an MRI to determine the extent of his injury. "We had issues with everything," coach Todd Bowles said. "We didn't do anything well so everything they did, they did it well." Here are some other takeaways from the Raiders win over the Jets: FAST START: After scoring on their first seven possessions last week in San Diego, the Raiders started fast once again with Carr throwing TD passes on Oakland's first three drives of the game. The only time Oakland didn't score on its first seven drives this week came when Sebastian Janikowski missed a 52-yard field goal. BIG HIT: Smith took a needless hit at the end of a 29-yard scramble in the fourth quarter. He ran down the sideline and had a chance to step out of bounds before being drilled by David Amerson. "The one on the sideline I should have got out of bounds," Smith said. "Kind of trying to watch the sideline and make sure I stayed in bounds but the guy got up on me quick." AGELESS WONDER: Woodson intercepted his league-leading fifth pass of the season as he shows no signs of slowing down at age 39. The AFC's top defensive player in October now has 65 career INTs, tied with Ken Riley for fifth most all-time. The only player with more since the 1970 merger is Raiders assistant Rod Woodson with P a g e

6 GROUNDED: Chris Ivory entered the game third in the NFL averaging yards per game. But he had no room to run against a stout Raiders front. It didn't help that center Nick Mangold was out with a neck injury. Ivory was tackled for a loss four times on the opening drive and finished with 17 yards on 15 carries. SPEEDSTER: Jones has made the most of his move back to running back after a failed experiment as a cornerback. He has provided a spark to the offense with his game-breaking speed as evidenced by the 59- yard TD that included numerous broken tackles and jukes down the sideline. Jones, a second-round pick in Al Davis' final draft in 2011, is finally validating that pick. "I tip my hat to this coaching staff," Jones said. "They put a lot of trust in me and they see what Al Davis saw. It's my job to show the fans what Al Davis saw." NEWSDAY Jets' defense shredded in loss to Raiders; Ryan Fitzpatrick injured (Kimberley A. Martin) Newsday OAKLAND, Calif. - For the second straight week, stunned silence and blank stares filled the visitors' locker room. In every conceivable way, the Jets came up small on the road. And it all culminated in one embarrassing meltdown en route to a defeat at O.co Coliseum on Sunday. "Too many points, way too many third-down conversions, way too many big plays, way too many extra yards, too many missed tackles," Jets linebacker David Harris said. "That's the outcome you get when that happens." A week after they suffered a tough loss against the unbeaten Patriots, the Jets defense showed little fight against the upstart Raiders (4-3). There was no pass rush, no tackling to speak of, and no semblance of the Todd Bowles team that began the year playing hard and giving offenses fits. Instead, the Jets looked out of sorts and out of sync from the moment they lost their starting quarterback. On their first drive of the game, Ryan Fitzpatrick eluded tacklers on a 12-yard scramble but injured his left thumb as he was brought down by Charles Woodson. The injury paved the way for Geno Smith to see his first action of the 2015 season. But the substitution did little to spark the Jets (4-3) until the game was out of reach. "We didn't play good," said Bowles, who took issue with the lack of energy he saw from his players. "We didn't tackle, we didn't stop anybody. We didn't do anything right. We didn't coach them well. We didn't play it well. It was a bad performance." Give Smith credit, though. He was a serviceable replacement for Fitzpatrick, completing 27 of 42 passes for 265 yards and two touchdowns. Smith also left the game briefly in the final minutes when he was drilled in the chest by a Raiders pass rusher. That resulted in Fitzpatrick re-entering for two plays before he again was replaced by Smith. Smith may have made mistakes -- not being decisive in the pocket, stepping into sacks and failing to protect himself while on the run. But the loss wasn't on him. Instead, it was on the Jets defense. 6 P a g e

7 "I feel like I played like [expletive], to be honest with you," said cornerback Antonio Cromartie, one of the biggest culprits of missed tackles. He estimated the Jets had more than 20. "I don't know the number of missed tackles we had today, but we had a lot," said cornerback Darrelle Revis, who spent much of the day covering Amari Cooper (five catches, 46 yards). "That's something we've got to correct. We've just got to clean up some things. We've got to do better. It's always tough playing on the road. We've got to play better on the road." Second-year quarterback Derek Carr torched the Jets for four touchdowns, including scores of 36, 49 and 59 yards. Carr completed 23 of 36 passes for 333 yards and a rating. Latavius Murray (113 rushing yards on 20 carries) ran all over Bowles' defense, and Cooper and Michael Crabtree (seven catches, 102 yards) shredded the Jets' injury-depleted secondary. Andre Holmes helped to put away the Jets with two first-half touchdown catches. "They just made more plays than us," said Brandon Marshall, who had nine catches for 108 yards. The Jets tried to mount a second-half comeback, as Smith connected with Eric Decker on a 4-yard TD with 7:11 left in the third before hitting tight end Kellen Davis on a 1-yard TD in the fourth. But the Raiders' 21-6 halftime lead proved to be an insurmountable hole. "It's a body blow," Jeremy Kerley said. "It doesn't take anything away from us. There's going to be body blows in this league. We just have to bounce back from it." Bowles echoed those sentiments. "[It's] not a big blow. It's a blow," he said. "No different than a blow last week. You don't want to lose games. It's week by week, now we got beat. It doesn't feel any worse than last week or better than last week. It's a blow and we got to bounce back. We just have to step up and get ready for next week." Jets' grades Newsday OFFENSE C Geno Smith played a decent game with Ryan Fitzpatrick (thumb) sidelined, throwing for 265 yards and two touchdowns. He also led the Jets in rushing with 34 yards, including a 29-yard scramble. But the Raiders rendered Chris Ivory (17 yards on 15 carries) ineffective and Eric Decker (six catches, 60 yards and a TD) was slowed by his sore knee. Brandon Marshall led all targets with 108 receiving yards, but he had no touchdowns and his longest catch was just 28 yards. DEFENSE F Four touchdowns, 451 total yards and 118 rushing yards said it all. Todd Bowles' defense failed in every conceivable way and watched quarterback Derek Carr throw for 333 yards. Worst of all, the Jets forgot how to tackle. One example was Michael Crabtree's 36-yard score after breaking three of them. Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie estimated the unit missed more than 20 tackles. The Jets entered giving 7 P a g e

8 up a league-low 71.5 rushing yards per contest. But the absence of second-year safety Calvin Pryor (ankle sprain) was evident in their run defense. SPECIAL TEAMS B- Nick Folk accounted for the Jets' first points on field goals from 40 and 38 yards, but once again, there were no big runs in the return game. Jeremy Kerley averaged just 5 yards on his two returns and Zac Stacy returned a kickoff 21 yards. On the flip side, the Raiders' Taiwan Jones had a 41-yard kickoff return in the third quarter. Jets punter Ryan Quigley's net average was 44 yards on four attempts and he pinned the Raiders inside the 20 once. COACHING F The Jets looked listless and some of their in-game decisions caused fans to scratch their heads. Case in point: punting with 3:30 to play and a 14-point deficit and calling a draw play on third-and-21 on their own 11. Despite the upgrades on offense, the coaching staff has yet to figure out how to adjust to a bad day from Chris Ivory. Jets' defense has no answers for Raiders (Bob Glauber) Newsday OAKLAND, Calif. - So defense is supposed to be the Jets' strength this year? They had a strange way of showing it against the Raiders. On a day when the Jets needed their best from the defense against a resurgent Raiders team, they instead got their worst. They were brutal from the start, allowing second-year quarterback Derek Carr to carve up the secondary and third-year tailback Latavius Murray to dominate the running game in Sunday's loss to Oakland. It was the second straight loss for the Jets, coming on the heels of a loss to the Patriots in which they actually played well for most of the game on defense. Not this time. Coach Todd Bowles, who presides over the defense, minced no words when offering his assessment. "We didn't play good," he said. "We didn't tackle. We didn't stop anybody. We didn't do anything right. We didn't coach them well. We didn't play it well. It was a bad performance." No doubt about it. Carr finished 23-for-36 for 333 yards and four touchdown passes, and Murray gained 113 yards on 20 carries. It was easily the Jets' worst defensive performance of the season after a stretch in which they played about as well as any team in the NFL. "We had issues with everything," Bowles said. "We didn't do anything well, so everything they did, they did it well." Poor tackling and awful coverage were at the heart of the defensive collapse. 8 P a g e

9 Antonio Cromartie agreed with Bowles' assessment of his own play -- it was mostly awful -- and the veteran cornerback estimated the team had at least 20 missed tackles. That number is simply unacceptable for a veteran defense -- and a high-priced one, too. "Too many points, way too many third-down conversions, way too many big plays, way too many extra yards, too many missed tackles," linebacker David Harris said. "That's the outcome you get when that happens. Nobody expected this to happen, but it did. We've got to learn from it." Harris and several other Jets said a letdown after last week's close loss to the unbeaten Patriots at Gillette Stadium was not a factor against the Raiders. "I don't think that had anything to do with it," Darrelle Revis said. "I don't know the number of missed tackles today, but we had a lot. That's something we've got to correct." The Raiders had their way from the start, scoring touchdowns on their first three drives to take a 21-3 lead. It was 28-6 after the Raiders scored on their first possession of the second half. "We've got to do better," Revis said. "It's always tough playing on the road, but we've got to play better on the road." Good thing for the Jets they play three of their next four at home -- starting with next week's matchup with the 2-5 Jaguars -- before playing a "road game" against the Giants at MetLife Stadium. "We're going to keep pushing and we still all believe in each other, believe in the staff and believe in the players," rookie defensive end Leonard Williams said. "I still think our team believes that we can still be a winning team." Jets Q&A: Is Geno Smith ready to start next week? He thinks so (Kimberley A. Martin) Newsday Geno Smith "felt ready" to replace Ryan Fitzpatrick on Sunday. And the third-year quarterback is prepared to prove his worth next week, too. "I'm pretty confident right now. Pretty confident," Smith said after the Jets' loss to the Raiders at O.co Coliseum. Smith was called to action less than five minutes into the game when Fitzpatrick tore ligaments in his left thumb when he was tackled by Charles Woodson on a 12-yard scramble. "Today was my first game of the year, my first action. I think I did some decent things, but I have a lot of things to improve on," said Smith, who competed 27 of 42 attempts for 265 yards and two touchdowns. Coach Todd Bowles said the Jets might have to sign another quarterback because of Fitzpatrick's injury. But Smith, who injured his left shoulder on a 29-yard scramble in the fourth quarter and got the wind knocked out of him on a hard hit by linebacker Ray-Ray Armstrong with 1:01 to play, is ready and willing to lead the offense. "Obviously, we've got to do all the evaluations and make sure we monitor everything, but I'm pretty confident that I've prepared myself and I will be ready to play," said Smith, adding that he had X-rays on his shoulder after the game. 9 P a g e

10 Smith stressed that he "always" has confidence in his ability. When asked if he views this as his second chance to be a starter, he said: "Every chance I get to step on the field is a way for me to prove my worth to whoever's watching. "I just want to go out there and win the game. With these guys on the team, we've got a lot to play for... So we just want to go out there and win. Obviously, it's tough to come away with a loss, but we have to regroup and come back strong next week." Why won't these QBs slide? Every time Fitzpatrick takes off on a scramble, Bowles gets nervous, and for good reason. He again failed to slide feet-first after a big gain, and the results may have been costly this time. "It was a scramble," Fitzpatrick said, describing how he injured his thumb. "I think it was just kind of a fluke thing. [Woodson] kind of went for the ball and just got my thumb inside. I knew something wasn't right and unfortunately I just couldn't grip the ball. I couldn't really do anything with pressure and keep it in the right place." Fitzpatrick said he'll undergo an MRI. After the game, Smith said he should have just run out of bounds instead of trying to gain more yards on his 29-yard scramble late in the game. Asked about both injured quarterbacks, Bowles simply said: "You've got to learn how to slide." Anyone else get hurt? Receiver Brandon Marshall injured his right toe and left ankle and had X-rays after the game, but he wouldn't say how serious the injuries might be. "I'll be OK," Marshall said, adding that he "more than likely" will undergo further tests. "We'll see how the week goes,'' he said. "It's a long week, so a lot of time to heal." Who's Wesley Johnson? Johnson, a fifth-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2014, had never played in an NFL game until Sunday. The 24-year-old center started in place of 10-year veteran Nick Mangold (sore neck). Bowles said he went with Johnson over Dakota Dozier because Johnson had experience playing center in college. Can Geno Smith take advantage of his second chance to be the Jets' starting quarterback? (Bob Glauber) Newsday OAKLAND, Calif. - Brandon Marshall has been the Jets' most productive player on the field this season. As it turns out, he may be the most important player off it, too. Especially if the heartfelt conversation he had with Geno Smith turns out to be a harbinger for the quarterback's re-emergence after the sucker punch to his jaw last summer threatened to derail his career. With the Jets now reeling after back-to-back road losses to the Patriots and the Raiders, it was Marshall providing the kind of veteran leadership and perspective that this team will need. Especially now that the quarterback situation has been thrown for yet another loop. 10 P a g e

11 Although there may be some doubt for Jets fans who had become frustrated by Smith's ineffectiveness in his first two seasons, Marshall offered some heartfelt reassurance to the young quarterback after the Jets were battered by the resurgent Raiders. Smith made his share of ill-advised plays, no question. Especially the decision not to go out of bounds after a 29-yard scramble around right end early in the fourth quarter. Smith needlessly took on cornerback David Amerson instead of running out of bounds, and paid for it by taking a shot to the left shoulder. Smith feels he'll be well enough to play next week at home against the Jaguars, but there are further medical evaluations to come. A terrible choice, no question. He should have known better. And there were two head-scratching decisions to take sacks later in the quarter, instead of throwing the ball out of bounds to not only stop the clock, but to keep the Jets in more manageable situations. "That was just poor play on my part," Smith said. "I should have thrown the ball away, given us a better shot, maybe go for it on fourth down. I just think it was a boneheaded play. I should have thrown the ball away." But the mistakes couldn't stop Marshall from focusing more on what Smith did right. A wide receiver simply blowing smoke in an attempt to make the best of a bad situation? Perhaps. But Marshall, who himself battled through ankle and toe injuries, seemed sincere in his assessment of why Smith can prosper now that his second chance has arrived. "When Geno settled down, I thought he played amazing," said Marshall, who led the Jets with nine catches for 108 yards. "I thought he played with a lot of grit. Like I told him, I'm really proud of him. It's been a long offseason for him, listening to all the noise. It was a tough camp for him, for the obvious reasons." But Marshall believes the experience will benefit Smith in terms of how the quarterback reacted after the punch. "I'm just so proud of the kid," Marshall said. "There's a lot of people that would fold. They wouldn't even have been in the mind-set that he was in, to come in and do what he was able to do, because it would have been, 'Woe is me.' It took some work, but he's right where he needs to be." We'll soon find out. After back-to-back losses, the Jets' schedule softens up considerably over the next month, with home games against Jacksonville, Buffalo and Miami, and a road game in Houston. Depending on Fitzpatrick's health, Smith could be the starter for all of them. That includes a Thursday night primetime game Nov. 12 against the Bills, when Rex Ryan makes his return to MetLife Stadium. And guess who will be there, too: Enemkpali, who was claimed on waivers by Ryan the day he punched Smith. Talk about a drama-filled way for Smith to get back at his former teammate. "Every chance I get to step on the field is a way for me to prove my worth," said Smith, who was 27-for- 42 for 265 yards, two TD passes and one interception. "We've got a lot to play for, a lot of veteran guys that really care about each other." Now he needs to earn that rematch by taking advantage of his second chance. Smith can do himself some favors by applying the lessons he has learned from Fitzpatrick, a savvy veteran who makes up for any physical limitations he might have with a terrific grasp of the game and an unflappable personality. "I took a lot away from him, his calm demeanor, the way he leads the team, the way he goes about his business," Smith said. "You can learn a lot from a veteran like Ryan. I'm watching, I'm learning, I'm studying." 11 P a g e

12 His second chance is here, and Smith is hoping for a better result. His go-to wide receiver is confident that will be the case. "The good thing is we got a lot of reps in the offseason," Marshall said. "There are still some things we have to work on, but Geno is more than capable." We'll soon find out. The Jets' season -- and Smith's career -- might depend on it. THE RECORD Jets beaten by Raiders, 34-20; Ryan Fitzpatrick injured (J.P. Pelzman) The Record OAKLAND, Calif. Ryan Fitzpatrick spent most of Sunday s game here on the sidelines, wearing a baseball cap, available only in case of emergency. Well, Geno Smith laying crumpled on the ground late in the fourth quarter, the victim of a ferocious but legal hit by Oakland linebacker Ray-Ray Armstrong, certainly qualified as an emergency. So in his place stepped Fitzpatrick, the starting quarterback who had suffered a torn ligament in his left thumb (non-throwing) early in the first quarter. He made a two-play cameo before again giving way to Smith. And while it s too early to say the Jets season has reached emergency status, coach Todd Bowles certainly is facing his first in-season crisis. The Jets potentially fragile psyche, suddenly ineffective defense and their banged-up quarterbacks were the main takeaways from a loss to the Raiders at O.co Coliseum. The Jets (4-3) suffered their second straight loss and now have something they haven t had since August: a quarterback quandary. Fitzpatrick will have an MRI today on his left thumb, but said after the game he was having trouble gripping the ball when taking a snap from center and that he also couldn t execute a handoff because of the injury. His two fourth-quarter snaps came from the shotgun. Smith (27-for-42, 265 yards, two touchdowns, one interception) seems to be the likelier candidate to start Sunday against visiting Jacksonville, although he was taken to the X-ray room after the game. He suffered an injury to his left shoulder (non-throwing) in the third quarter when he foolishly failed to get out of bounds on a 29-yard scramble before Oakland cornerback David Amerson leveled him. Armstrong drove him into the ground on a fourth-quarter pressure, injuring Smith s abdomen. Smith said he probably would be living in the treatment room this week in hopes of healing quickly enough to play against Jacksonville. As for Sunday s game, he said, I may have been playing a little faster than normal simply because I hadn t played all year. I think once I settled down and got the feel of everything, I was able to play a little bit better. Smith, who lost his starting job to Fitzpatrick during the preseason when he suffered a broken jaw from a punch thrown by then-teammate IK Enemkpali, directed two second-half touchdown drives but left himself vulnerable to a big hit by not getting out of bounds before Amerson drilled him. Smith led the Jets to a touchdown on that drive. 12 P a g e

13 Smith admitted it was a boneheaded play, especially given the situation. After all, Bowles had been worried for weeks about Fitzpatrick s penchant for not sliding after scrambling. Fitzpatrick scrambled for a 12 yards and a first down on the Jets first possession, diving forward at the end of the run. He was hit by veteran safety Charles Woodson. You gotta learn to slide, Bowles said when asked about Fitzpatrick s injury. Bowles was even less pleased with the defense, which allowed 451 yards to Oakland (4-3). We didn t play good [on defense], Bowles said. We didn t tackle. We didn t stop anybody. We didn t do anything right. We didn t coach them well. It was a bad performance, he added. We probably had something like over 20-something missed tackles, said cornerback Antonio Cromartie, who chastised himself for playing poorly. That s something that we can t do. When you have the missed tackles, penalties and giving up long touchdowns, you re automatically going to lose that game. That s not us, linebacker David Harris said of the missed tackles. And now the Jets will wait to find out who will be leading their offense on Sunday. Geno s more than capable, wide receiver Brandon Marshall said when asked about Smith potentially being the starter once again. I m just so proud of the kid. There are a lot of people who would have folded in his situation. Now it s a matter of the Jets not folding after a surprising season suddenly has hit a major speed bump. We ll be OK, Marshall said. Jets replay: Week 8 vs. Oakland (J.P. Pelzman) The Record November 2, Star of the game Oakland QB Derek Carr picked apart the Jets with plenty of help from his receivers, who made plenty of would-be tacklers miss. Carr threw for 333 yards and four TDs for the turnover-free Raiders, who moved the ball very well until stalling in the fourth quarter. RB Taiwan Jones' 59-yard scoring reception and WR Michael Crabtree's 36-yard TD reception were aided by the poor-tackling Jets. Costly mistakes Strong-legged Oakland K Sebastian Janikowski missed a 52-yard field-goal attempt in the second quarter, giving the Jets good field position en route to a 38-yarder by Nick Folk. Oakland CB Neiko Thorpe committed a pass-interference penalty in the end zone against Jets WR Kenbrell Thompkins, leading to a TD. Jets CB Buster Skrine was called for being the 12th man on the field during the Raiders' first TD drive, giving them 5 free yards. Eye-catching Jets RB Stevan Ridley, added to the active roster Friday, didn't have a touch in the game. Oakland S Charles Woodson picked off Geno Smith for his 65th interception, tying former Cincinnati great Ken Riley for fifth place on the all-time list. He broke a tie with former Jet Ed Reed, who had 64. Woodson, 39, has 13 P a g e

14 five picks this season. Thompkins made his Jets debut, and had six receptions for 41 yards. Veteran TE Kellen Davis' 1-yard TD catch in the fourth quarter was his first reception as a Jet. Coaching decisions Jets coach Todd Bowles chose to punt when facing a fourth-and-7 at his 21 with about 3:30 left, rather than try to get a first down. The Jets had two remaining timeouts at that juncture. They got the ball back with 2:54 and one timeout left after Oakland had two incomplete passes during a three-and-out. Looking ahead The Jets (4-3) will return home after two consecutive road losses to host Jacksonville (2-5) on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. The Jaguars had a bye after defeating Buffalo, 34-31, in London on Oct. 25. The game will be the first of two straight at home for the Jets in a span of five days. They will welcome Buffalo and former coach Rex Ryan for a Thursday night game Nov. 12. Jets notes: Brandon Marshall's rough day (J.P. Pelzman) The Record November 2, Marshall's rough day Brandon Marshall got plenty of extra attention last week against New England, which double-teamed him almost constantly. He was shadowed for parts of Sunday's game at Oakland, too, although this time it was by the Jets' training and medical staffs. Marshall came out for one play in the third quarter after being hurt, and exited in the fourth before again returning. He finished the game despite having an injured left ankle and a hurt toe on his right foot. Still, Marshall said he was "OK," but stopped short of saying he definitely would play Sunday against Jacksonville although he seemed optimistic. Marshall led the Jets with nine receptions for 108 yards, including a 28-yarder to the Oakland 22 in the third quarter that led to the Jets' first touchdown. Oakland cornerback David Amerson pushed Marshall out of bounds and seemed to hit him after he had crossed the boundary. Marshall said Oakland didn't double-team him as much as the Patriots did, but said the Raiders rolled their coverage toward him much more in the second half. Marshall was targeted 18 times. Johnson in at center Center Nick Mangold, drafted in the first round by the Jets in 2006, missed a game for only the fourth time in his career Sunday. He sat out because of a neck injury suffered in the final minute of the loss at New England last week. In his place was Wesley Johnson, who was selected by Pittsburgh in the fifth round of the 2014 NFL Draft and had been on the Jets' practice squad before they promoted him to the active roster Wednesday. Although the Jets were unable to run the ball effectively, there were no botched snaps or communication issues with the untested Johnson taking over. Johnson was selected over second-year pro Dakota Dozier, who had finished last week's game in place of Mangold. 14 P a g e

15 Mangold made the trip, but coach Todd Bowles said the team decided Saturday that he we would not play. Bowles indicated he hopes that another week of treatment will help Mangold get healthier and perhaps allow him to play Sunday against the Jaguars. Briefs Reserve CB Dexter McDougle left the game because of an ankle injury. Oakland wasn't forced to punt until 7:44 remained. The Jets have lost four consecutive games played in the Pacific time zone. The Jets' defense was held without a sack for the first time since a 20-7 victory at Indianapolis on Sept. 21. Oakland KR Walt Powell, who was signed off the Jets' practice squad last month, was inactive for the second consecutive game since joining the Raiders. Taiwan Jones averaged 25.3 yards on four kickoff returns for Oakland. NEW YORK TIMES Ryan Fitzpatrick Is Injured and the Jets Are Routed by the Raiders (Ben Shpigel) New York Times OAKLAND, Calif. Ryan Fitzpatrick stood at his locker, a cellphone cradled against his ear, his back to the room, his damaged left thumb wrapped. Beside him sat Geno Smith, who had returned minutes earlier from a visit to the X-ray room at O.co Coliseum. Late Sunday afternoon, the two Jets quarterbacks were as battered as their team, whose loss to the Oakland Raiders shoved a promising season toward a pivot point. No longer are the Jets the bunch they thought they were, buoyed by the steady Fitzpatrick at quarterback and the turnover-forcing defense with a rapacious appetite for destruction. After tearing ligaments in the thumb on his nonthrowing hand on the opening series, Fitzpatrick is facing an absence of uncertain length. After failing to cause a turnover for the second consecutive week in a game that also exposed their deficiencies in pass coverage, the Jets are facing their first real turbulence. Before hosting Jacksonville next week, they must try to repair a defense that has allowed 64 points and 688 passing yards during the past two games while they also cope with the potential loss of their starting quarterback. It s a body blow, receiver Jeremy Kerley said. The Jets most immediate concern is the status of Fitzpatrick, who spent most of the final 56 minutes on the sideline. As he is wont to do, Fitzpatrick dived headfirst instead of sliding on a 12-yard scramble, leaving himself vulnerable to a hit from Charles Woodson, who appeared to grab Fitzpatrick s thumb as he tried to wrest away the football. When Fitzpatrick tried to grip the football, he could not. I knew something wasn t right, Fitzpatrick said. He added, I couldn t really do anything with pressure and keep it in the right place. How much time Fitzpatrick will miss Coach Todd Bowles declined to speculate will be determined by a magnetic resonance imaging test on Monday, and Fitzpatrick betrayed no sense of his standing other 15 P a g e

16 than despair. It is a difficult way to cede the starting job a fluke thing, he called it but so is absorbing a jaw-breaking punch from a teammate, as Smith did. Replacing Fitzpatrick on Sunday, Smith transported the Jets back three months, before the blow on Aug. 11 that changed the trajectory of his career and their season. The presumptive starter, Smith was replaced by Fitzpatrick, whose mastery of the offense and general reliability endeared him to teammates and helped propel the Jets to four victories in their first five games. Smith had not played since Week 17 last year, or taken first-team snaps since the second week of August. But he revealed decent command of the offense (completing 27 of 42 passes for 265 yards, with two touchdowns and an interception) if not the situation (absorbing at the end of a 29-yard run in the fourth quarter a crushing hit by David Amerson that he could have avoided by running out of bounds). As it was, when Ray-Ray Armstrong zipped past D Brickashaw Ferguson to level Smith with about a minute left in the game, Fitzpatrick had to come in and relieve him for two plays. Smith said he would prepare to start next week, and if the Jets learn that Fitzpatrick will be out for a while, Bowles acknowledged the possibility of adding another quarterback. Every chance I get to step onto the field is a way for me to prove my worth, said Smith, whose X-rays on his shoulder from the Amerson hit came back negative. I just want to go out there and win the game. In another week, Smith s performance, and the 20 points the Jets scored under his guidance, could have restored competitiveness to a game that lacked any after the first quarter. The Raiders led by 21-3 late in the first half, then by 28-6 early in the second, before Smith tossed two late touchdown passes. Oakland built that lead by amassing 232 yards on its first three drives, all of which ended with touchdown passes from Derek Carr, and the Raiders did not punt until midway through the fourth quarter. The halftime entertainment on Sunday featured two people zorbing an activity, for the unfamiliar, that required them to run the length of the football field in a giant inflatable sphere. Inside the transparent orb, they wobbled and they staggered and they tripped yet they still demonstrated a greater sense of coordination than the Jets defense, which covered the Raiders receivers poorly, took bad angles and missed more tackles than Darrelle Revis could count. We had issues with everything, Bowles said. We didn t do anything well. Their troubles started on the Raiders first drive, when they committed two penalties, gave up a 26-yard run and were beaten on a 5-yard score by Andre Holmes, and continued early in the third quarter, when Taiwan Jones juked and sidestepped four defenders en route to a 59-yard touchdown that put Oakland ahead, The loss dropped the Jets three games behind unbeaten New England in the A.F.C. East, and the surging Raiders dislodged the Jets from the top wild-card spot and now own the head-to-head tiebreaker. There s no reason you can t think of yourself as a playoff team, Woodson said. The paradigm in Oakland has shifted, with dynamic young talent like the rookie receiver Amari Cooper and the second-year quarterback Carr, who tormented the Jets for 333 yards and four touchdowns, positioning the Raiders for success. The Jets revival, after a 4-12 debacle in 2014, has come no less suddenly. It has come after they unearthed a competent starting quarterback and upgraded an already stout defense. Now, after the most deflating day of their season, the Jets must see if they will have both components next week, and beyond. EXTRA POINTS 16 P a g e

17 Receiver Brandon Marshall sustained toe and ankle injuries that he said he hoped would not jeopardize his availability for next week s game against the Jaguars....The neck injury that Nick Mangold sustained late last week against New England forced him to miss only the fourth game of his career. ESPN NEW YORK Ryan Fitzpatrick injury means thumbs-down for sloppy Jets (Rich Cimini) ESPN New York OAKLAND, Calif. -- A season can change in a nanosecond. The New York Jets know this better than most because it has happened twice in the last three months. First it was Geno Smith's broken jaw, now it's Ryan Fitzpatrick's injured left thumb. As a result, they've reached the first crisis point in Todd Bowles' rookie season. Fitzpatrick was injured on the sixth play of Sunday's game -- it happened on a scramble -- and everything fell apart for the Jets, who played their worst game of 2015 in a loss to the Oakland Raiders at O.co Coliseum. The Jets (4-3) have their first two-game losing streak, but the bigger concern is Fitzpatrick, the feel-good story whose calm leadership had galvanized the Jets' offense. There was no immediate word on the severity of the injury, although it was reported as a ligament issue on the CBS telecast. Incredibly, Fitzpatrick had to return for two plays in the final minute of the game because Smith was hurt after taking a helmet to the chest. Smith returned to finish the disaster of a day. If Fitzpatrick's injury is long-term, the Jets will have no choice but to return to Smith, who was supposed to be the starter -- until he got punched in the face by former teammate IK Enemkpali in August. Smith has the talent to win in the league, but he's wildly inconsistent. He was thrown into tough circumstances, but his decision-making and lack of pocket awareness -- old bugaboos -- resurfaced on several plays. He put up decent numbers (27-for-42, 265 yards, two touchdowns, one interception), but he didn't impress. Maybe we'll find out he has matured over the past few months. If not, the Jets are in big trouble. Where's the D? When Fitzpatrick went down, the defense needed to take control of the day, imposing its will against quarterback Derek Carr. Instead of carrying the day, the defense turned Carr into Tom Brady. The Jets' $150 million secondary was shredded by Carr, who threw for 333 yards and four touchdowns. Antonio Cromartie and Buster Skrine were victimized for touchdowns in single coverage, with little help from the pass rush. The Jets started the game by allowing touchdown drives of 78, 76 and 78 yards. Good defenses are supposed to travel well; the Jets forget theirs at home. What were they thinking? The Jets made a bad decision by replacing injured strong safety Calvin Pryor (ankle) with cornerback Marcus Williams. They played with four corners in their nickel package, leaving themselves vulnerable against the run. And they were exposed, as the Raiders ran for 118 yards. The tackling was atrocious, and Williams (three missed tackles) was one of the biggest culprits. All told, the Jets had at least 10 missed tackles, including four on a 59-yard touchdown reception by Taiwan Jones. The coaches opted for Williams over Dion Bailey, a true safety. One reason to get excited: The Jets return home to face the struggling Jacksonville Jaguars (2-5). Really, that's about it. 17 P a g e
