Jahmyr Gibbs scored three touchdowns, including the go-ahead score, in Detroit’s 31-24 Week 3 win over the New York Jets. The Lions let a 24-10 fourth-quarter lead slip before Jack Campbell recovered a forced fumble to help seal the victory.
Left guard Christian Mahogany and right tackle Blake Miller returned, and Detroit’s ground game was its biggest difference. Gibbs ran 20 times for 99 yards and two touchdowns, added seven catches for 65 yards, and quarterback Jared Goff threw for 269 yards and two scores.
The Jets’ three tight ends—Kenyon Sadiq, Jeremy Ruckert and Jelani Woods—combined for 10 catches, 137 yards and two touchdowns, extending a coverage concern Detroit had also faced against New Orleans and Buffalo. Jacob Saylors had two kick returns for 81 yards. In Week 1, Detroit had also blown a 21-point lead against the Saints before winning 31-30 in overtime.
