Lions hold off Jets comeback, win 31-24 after late strip sack

SB Nation

The Detroit Lions beat the New York Jets 31-24 with a touchdown just over two minutes left, then recovered Geno Smith's late fumble to stop New York's final drive. The Jets rallied from 24-10 to tie the game but fell to 1-2; they visit Chicago next week.

The Jets' comeback included a Geno Smith touchdown pass to Jeremy Ruckert and a fourth-down completion to Garrett Wilson, followed by a two-point conversion to Sterling Shepard. Detroit answered with a 49-yard completion to Isaac Teslaa before Jared Goff threw the winning touchdown to Jahmyr Gibbs. Chuck Clark forced the fumble on New York's final possession, and Detroit recovered.
