The full read
Ashton Jeanty touched the ball five times against the Jets, and one touch swung the game: 3 catches on 4 targets for 64 yards and +3.8 expected points added (EPA), plus 2 carries for 9 yards and -0.9 EPA. EPA is what a play was worth given down, distance and field position.
Down 30-28 on the first snap of the fourth quarter, second and 11 at the Raiders' 42, Kirk Cousins threw short left and Jeanty caught it 2 yards behind the line, then ran 47 more to the Jets' 13: +3.7 EPA and 18.4 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win, the biggest swing of any Raiders play. He ran for 8 to the 5 on the next snap, and Jalen Nailor scored four plays later. The miss came late in the first half, down 20-14: third and 2 at the Jets' 47, he gained 1, and the fourth-down try that followed was stopped.
The +3.8 receiving EPA was more than the +2.7 he had in seven games through Week 7, on 34 catches and 312 yards. The 2 carries came after 106 through Week 7, at -0.30 EPA a carry.
