Shootouts are a blast until you're the defense stuck in one, and the Raiders lived on both sides of that truth in New Jersey. They left with a win that felt overdue, plus a few things nobody wants to see on film again. 

Here is the good, the bad, and the ugly from a wild afternoon in East Rutherford.

The good: The Raiders finally won from behind

Frankly, what the comeback ended may be bigger than the comeback itself. The Raiders trailed 23-14 at halftime and had lost 12 straight games when trailing at the break, a streak that had become part of their identity.

Just like that, it's gone. The Raiders erased two nine-point deficits and scored 17 of the game's final 20 points, which is the kind of finish a team on a four-game skid badly needed.

As for the closing kick, safety Jeremy Chinn picked off a desperation throw in the end zone with 14 seconds left. Only moments earlier, he had drawn an unnecessary roughness flag on the same drive, so the redemption arrived right on time.

The defense also held firm on the previous series, forcing the Jets to settle for a field goal on fourth-and-10 with 4:31 left instead of reclaiming the lead with a touchdown.

The bad: The run game still can't grab a yard

The commitment to the run was real, and the payoff still wasn't. The Raiders ran it 33 times for 95 yards, and even rookie Mike Washington Jr.'s 25 carries had him at just 3.3 yards per carry and topped out at a 15-yard gain.

Short yardage was the real headache. Late in the second quarter, running back Ashton Jeanty was stopped after 1 yard on third-and-two at the Jets' 47. On the very next snap, fullback Connor Heyward was stuffed for no gain up the middle on fourth-and-1.

New York took over near midfield and turned it into a field goal before halftime, pushing the lead to nine. Coming up empty on one yard has haunted this offense all season, and it nearly cost the Raiders again.

The ugly: Two career days for the Jets

Running back Braelon Allen and wide receiver Adonai Mitchell both set career highs against the Raiders, Allen with 147 rushing yards and Mitchell with 142 receiving yards. When a defense hands out personal bests like party favors, something has gone badly wrong. 

Allen's longest run only went for 24 yards, so the damage came in steady chunks rather than one big breakdown, which is even harder to stomach.

Wide receiver Garrett Wilson added 83 yards on 12 targets, so the Jets had three different weapons cooking at once. Linebacker Nakobe Dean (12 tackles) and Chinn (10) led the defense in stops, which tells you how often New York reached the second level.

The Jets averaged 7.2 yards per play and finished with 26 first downs, numbers that win most games. 

In the end, four Jason Sanders field goals in place of touchdowns saved the Raiders from a very different Monday. A defense that leans on that kind of luck is living dangerously.
