Heroes, zeros and the full blitz from the Jets’ 38-33 loss to the Raiders on Sunday:

Hero

Kirk Cousins — who was nearly a Jet once upon a time — threw for 247 yards and three touchdowns, including the fourth-quarter go-ahead score to Jalen Nailor.

Zero

Calling defensive plays was supposed to be head coach Aaron Glenn’s “superpower.” It looked like Kryptonite as the Jets allowed 236 second-half yards and four scoring drives of at least nine plays each.
