Jets most to blame for defense getting steamrolled by Raiders to fall to 2-6

The New York Jets are running out of excuses. Their latest defensive collapse might be the most frustrating yet. After dropping another winnable game against the Las Vegas Raiders, New York finds itself at 2-6 and staring at an increasingly difficult path toward postseason relevance. The offense showed plenty of fight, but none of that mattered. Their defense repeatedly failed to deliver stops. When a team scores 33 points and still loses, the spotlight inevitably shifts toward the unit responsible for protecting the lead. Aaron Glenn and his defensive staff have plenty of explaining to do.
