Smith faces former Raiders team with added motivation on both sides.

Smith faces his former team, the Raiders, in Week 8. While the classic redemption narrative of a player wanting to defeat his former employer is present, the source notes a different angle: Raiders fans were disappointed with Smith's play last season and reacted negatively to him making an obscene gesture toward a fan in November, so Las Vegas has added motivation to defeat Smith and the Jets.
