JetNation Game Recap; Jets Fall to Surging Lions, 7-7 and in Need of Help for Playoffs

The New York Jets fall to the Detroit Lions in a nailbiter, 20-17, on a last-second missed field goal by Greg Zuerlein. The Jets fall to 7-7 and now rely on much more help to make the postseason. In a game that carried scattered expectations, this one fell short of nearly every mark.

On the very first drive of the game, New York’s defense came up with a huge fourth down stop at the 1-yard line to hold Detroit to zero points. On the ensuing possession, in his return to action after a three week benching, Zach Wilson started off a little shaky, with two incompletions on the first drive.
