From FOX Sports Research: 

We’ve gotten a glimpse of how many Lions games might go this season: plenty of points on both sides. But against a struggling Jets offense, Detroit’s defense could have a chance to get right.

The Jets lead the NFL in total defense (197.0 yards allowed per game) and rank second against both the pass (131.5) and the run (65.5). Still, those numbers came against the Titans and Packers. Detroit’s offense presents a different challenge.

Since 2022, Dan Campbell’s Lions are 17-6 in regular-season games following a loss, winning those games by an average of 14.1 points. Take Detroit to respond with a convincing win.
