The Lions sleep tonight … except in East Rutherford.
Behind a late fourth-down touchdown, their only six-pointer of the game, the Detroit Lions kept an improbable playoff push alive with a 20-17 victory over the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in Week 15 NFL play. Sunday marked a bittersweet return for Zach Wilson, who threw for a season-best 317 yards but couldn’t guide the Jets (7-7) away from a third consecutive defeat.
Detroit took its time on its opening drive, eating more than the first eight minutes on a 14-play, 73-yard trek.
