Detroit beat the Jets 31-24 in Week 3 as Jahmyr Gibbs scored three touchdowns, two on the ground and one receiving. The review also praised five other Lions, but criticized three cornerbacks and Amon-Ra St. Brown; Detroit’s defense again struggled to hold a favorable lead.
Gibbs had 20 carries for 99 yards and seven catches for 65 yards. DJ Wonnum and Alim McNeill each recorded a sack, while Christian Izien led Detroit with 11 tackles, including three for loss. Trevor Nowaske made six tackles, and Sione Vaki ran six times for 26 yards and helped protect Jared Goff.
Roger McCreary allowed five catches for more than 70 yards, while D.J. Reed gave up a late touchdown catch to Garrett Wilson. Rock Ya-Sin was flagged for defensive pass interference on his first snap; the penalty was declined after an 11-yard gain, and he played little afterward. St. Brown had four catches for 19 yards and two drops. The article also says Detroit had reached out about cornerback Joey Porter Jr.
