Kirk Cousins threw three touchdowns and ran for another as the Raiders beat the Jets 38-33 on Sunday, Nov. 1, at MetLife Stadium, according to NBC Sports. The win ended a four-game losing streak. The party kept going on the plane ride home.

A second-half turnaround

The Raiders trailed 23-14 at halftime, according to Yahoo Sports and ClutchPoints, and the Jets had the ground game humming. Per the Jets' game recap, Allen ran for a career-high 147 yards on 21 carries. Adonai Mitchell added a career-high 142 receiving yards and a touchdown on seven catches.

The late push

After Allen's 21-yard touchdown made it 30-21, Cousins answered with a 1-yard touchdown run, the Associated Press reported. In the fourth quarter he threw a go-ahead 2-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Nailor with 11:33 left, putting Las Vegas up 35-30.

The Jets stayed close. Matt Gay then hit a 53-yard field goal with 27 seconds left, and the Jets' next drive ended when they threw an interception to Chinn. The Raiders moved to 4-4 and the Jets fell to 2-6.

The flight home

The viral part came after the final whistle. According to ESPN, Cousins took off his shirt on the flight back to Las Vegas and let teammates drape several expensive chains around his neck and put watches on his wrist. ESPN's story frames it as the return of "Kirko Chainz."

A video of Cousins swaying to Real Boston Richey's "Bullseye 2" while wearing his teammates' jewelry circulated widely, ESPN reported.

A four-game skid, a nine-point halftime hole and a go-ahead touchdown pass in the fourth quarter explain why the Raiders wanted to show off a bit.
