How to Watch Jets vs. Lions
Players To Watch
Detroit’s passing offense has been the story of the first two weeks, and Goff is the reason. He leads the Lions with 533 passing yards and 6 touchdowns, and Detroit ranks first in the NFL in passing touchdowns while averaging 31 points per game.
New York’s defense has allowed just 15 points per game so far, the stingiest mark either team brings into Sunday. Goff’s efficiency will decide whether Detroit’s passing attack can crack that number early.
Through two games, Hall has carried a featured role in New York’s offense, piling up 45 touches and 210 scrimmage yards. He capped the Week 2 loss to Green Bay on September 20 with 29 rushing yards and 63 receiving yards, including a 43-yard catch.
Detroit’s secondary took a hit this week with Avonte Maddox ruled out for the season on September 21, and that shakeup gives Hall extra room to work as both a runner and a checkdown target for Geno Smith.
New York’s passing game has produced just one touchdown through two weeks, and Wilson caught it. He turned 5 of 7 targets into 57 yards in the overtime loss to Green Bay on September 20, with that score standing as Geno Smith’s only touchdown pass of the season so far.
Detroit has racked up 7 sacks in two games but has also allowed 266.5 receiving yards per game and 35.5 points per game, and Wilson gives New York’s passing attack its clearest way to cash in against that generous secondary.
Detroit’s passing attack runs through St. Brown more than anyone else, and the numbers back it up. He leads the Lions with 14 catches, 209 receiving yards and 4 touchdown receptions through two games, and he erupted for 9 catches, 142 yards and 2 touchdowns in the September 17 win over Buffalo.
The Lions rank first in the NFL in receiving touchdowns and seventh in receiving yards per game, a profile built largely around St. Brown’s usage. If he keeps winning underneath and in the scoring areas, Detroit’s passing attack should keep finding him.
