on Sunday at MetLife Stadium, handing them their third straight loss and dealing their playoff hopes a critical blow.
On Sunday, there was plenty of blame to go around — from the defense allowing the game-losing score with two minutes left to play to Zach Wilson disappearing for a long stretch in the middle of the game to some questionable time management by coach Robert Saleh to the punt team allowing second return for touchdown in a month.“To close people out, it’s hard,” Saleh said. “They’re not just going to lay down for you. But we had our opportunities all game, and we missed it.
But Goff moved the ball to the Lions’ 49 and had a fourth-and-1 coming out of the two-minute warning. Goff ran a play-action fake to Justin Jackson and tight end Brock Wright slipped out to the left side and was wide open for Goff to throw to. Wright then took it up the Lions sideline and into the end zone for a 51-yard touchdown.
“We’re all devastated,” cornerback D.J. Reed said. “As a defense, we put that on us because we want to be in those situations.” Jets defensive tackle Nathan Shepherd leaves the field after the Detroit Lions defeated the Jets 20-17.If Saleh had used a timeout earlier, the Jets likely would have had more time to run another play and get closer.“Everyone knows that we’ve got to win out,” Saleh said.Saleh was not prepared to say who will start at quarterback on Thursday, but the expectation is Wilson will likely start again as Mike White deals with broken ribs.
