EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- As teammates swarmed Brock Wright in the end zone after his go-ahead fourth-quarter touchdown against the New York Jets, running back Justin Jackson grabbed him by the facemask to make eye contact.
“We believe in you,” Jefferson screamed at the Detroit Lions tight end.
Wright had just dropped a pass on the same possession from quarterback Jared Goff. But Goff went right back to him on a critical fourth-and-1 on which he caught it and ran for a 51-yard touchdown to help the Lions beat the Jets 20-17.
