The Green Bay Packers’ thrilling victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday night pulled them into a tie with the Minnesota Vikings for the NFC North lead after one game, with the two division favorites winning their opening games. Tonight, the Detroit Lions try to match those two franchises with a win in their own season opener, a home game against the New York Jets.
New York will be starting rookie quarterback Sam Darnold, the third overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft and the only rookie to start in week one this season.
