- On the scoreboard, it was a seven-point game: the Lions beat New York 31-24 at home in Week 3, dropping the Jets to 1-2 while Detroit moved to 2-1.
- Jahmyr Gibbs was the clearest reason why.
- He finished with 20 carries for 99 yards, seven receptions for 65 yards, and three total touchdowns — 164 scrimmage yards in all.
- The margin was only seven points, and New York did rally from 24-10 down to tie the game.
- Detroit’s 381 total yards, along with Jared Goff’s 269 passing yards, gave the home team enough production to survive the push.
