Despite the interference, Raiders star tight end Brock Bowers reels in a one-handed touchdown, putting the Raiders up 7-3.
Kirk Cousins is 3-for-3 for 47 yards, and the rookie running back started the game and is 4-for-13 on the ground, leading the Raiders inside the Jets' ten.
After three explosive plays by the Jets' offense from Garrett Wilson and Braelon Allen, a Treydan Stuke pass breakup forces a red zone field goal. Jets lead 3-0.

The Jets start the game on offense, and the first play from scrimmage is a 31-yard play-action pass from Geno Smith to Garrett Wilson.
With injured running back Breece Hall out, Braelon Allen has emerged as a legitimate starter.
Over his last three games, Allen has carried the ball 58 times for 298 yards and three rushing touchdowns. Expect the Raiders' defense to prioritize Allen.
The Raiders activated wide receiver Jack Bech yesterday. He was previously recovering from a fractured forearm. He was mostly a non-factor in the passing game before the injury. He caught six passes for 48 yards and one touchdown.
The Raiders should utilize him more down the stretch.
No David Bailey today? Big loss for the Jets.
The Raiders will be without these players vs. the Jets.
