Jeanty's 3.1 YPC ranks 37th; Raiders ground game 30th despite his confidence

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty is averaging 3.1 yards per carry, ranking 37th among running backs and well below the league average of 4.2 yards per tote. Despite the poor efficiency, Jeanty expressed confidence about getting the run game going against the Jets, stating 'I think we can definitely get the run game going. Get back on track. … A couple guys out there that don't really want to tackle, but I'm not going to say names.' However, the Raiders' ground game ranks 30th in yards gained (523), and the Jets' run defense, while 24th in the league, is expected to load the box with eight defenders to stonewall Las Vegas's rushing attack.
