## Summary

Dylan Laube earned AFC Special Teams Player of the Week after returning a kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown in the Raiders’ 38-33 win over the Jets. His score came 12 seconds after New York had taken a 13-7 lead, helping Las Vegas move back in front as it tried to end a four-game losing streak.

It was the NFL’s first kickoff return touchdown of the season. Laube, a third-year running back from Long Island, also made a special teams tackle and entered the game leading qualified kickoff returners with an average of 31.1 yards per attempt; he had previously returned one for 53 yards against Kansas City. The Raiders face the 49ers next, who now have the 95-yard play to study.
