- The first place to look for Jets-Lions is the official injury report, because Detroit’s secondary availability is the clearest baseline for how this game might be watched.
- That report matters here because the matchup coverage around this game points to one specific hinge: the Lions’ secondary injuries could open the door for New York’s passing game.
- The Lions defense has struggled for six of the eight quarters it has played so far this season, and it has already allowed 23 explosive plays in the first two weeks.
- If the Lions are still short-handed on the back end, the Jets’ passing game stops being an under-the-radar subplot and becomes the most important tactical test in the game.
