Detroit beat the Jets for its second win of the season, though a fourth-quarter comeback exposed coverage problems. Jahmyr Gibbs had 164 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns, including the game-winner, in SB Nation’s Week 3 stock report.
Defensive tackle Alim McNeill recorded seven quarterback pressures, tying the most he’d had in a game since Week 11 of 2022, and added a red-zone sack. The report said cornerbacks D.J. Reed, Roger McCreary and Rock Ya-Sin allowed 12 catches on 15 targets for 166 yards and two touchdowns, plus three penalties.
The report praised tackles Penei Sewell and Blake Miller; Gibbs averaged 5.0 yards before contact per rush and posted a 65% success rate, the fourth-best of his career. It also highlighted three 2024 draft picks: Garrett Wilson caught one of four targets against Ennis Rakestraw Jr., Sione Vaki gained 37 yards on seven touches, and Christian Mahogany allowed no pressures on 17 pass-rush reps.
