Zach Wilson gives Jets a chance, but defense implodes late in brutal loss to Lions

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Jared Goff threw a go-ahead 51-yard touchdown pass to Brock Wright on fourth-and-1 with 1:49 remaining, and the Detroit Lions held on for a 20-17 victory over Zach Wilson and the New York Jets on Sunday.

Coming out of the two-minute warning, Goff looked to his left and found Wright wide open, and the tight end rumbled untouched into the end zone. The Lions went wild on the field and sideline, stunning the Jets and their fans.

But Wilson -- who had an up-and-down return as the starting quarterback -- and the Jets had one more chance to tie or win.
