Veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins is at the helm of the air attack and ranks third in yards (1,877) and is atop the league the 16 touchdowns thrown. The 38-year-old signal caller has been sacked 10 times this season (23rd least) but with a stingy Jets pass defense in front of him that boasts talented rookie pass rusher David Bailey (5.5 sacks), Las Vegas is danger of being grounded.

Cousins' league-leading 16 TDs face Jets' fifth-ranked pass defense.

The 38-year-old Raiders quarterback ranks third in passing yards (1,877) and leads the league with 16 touchdowns thrown, but faces a stingy Jets pass defense ranked fifth-best in passing yards allowed (1,314) and sixth-best in passing attempts allowed (213). Cousins has been sacked 10 times this season (23rd least) but is in danger of being grounded by the Jets' talented pass rush led by David Bailey (5.5 sacks) and a secondary that includes cornerback Brandon Stephens (39 targets, 17 completions, 43.6 percent) and safeties Andre Cisco and Dane Belton who also have sacks.
