Jets shrug off Ashton Jeanty's tackling criticism ahead of Sunday's game vs. Raiders

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty drew attention on Wednesday, October 29, 2026, after criticizing the New York Jets' defense, claiming the team has 'a couple guys out there that don't really want to tackle.' The Jets responded by brushing off the comments ahead of their scheduled Sunday matchup against the Raiders. The remarks from the second-year running back added extra bulletin-board material to what is already an anticipated NFL regular-season contest.
