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.
Wilson threw a go-ahead 1-yard touchdown pass to C.J. Uzomah with 4:41 remaining. It came one play after Wilson's 1-yard quarterback sneak for a score was reversed by video review when it was ruled he was down just short of the goal line.
Wilson, starting after being benched for three games, finished 18 of 35 for 317 yards with two touchdown throws to Uzomah — and a costly interception. Wilson played in place of the injured Mike White, who's dealing with fractured ribs. But New York's defense bailed out Wilson, holding Detroit out of the end zone and the Lions settled for a go-ahead 34-yarder by Badgley.After Wilson and the Jets went three-and-out on their first possession, Kalif Raymond caught Braden Mann's punt out of the end zone, eluded a few would-be tacklers — including a diving Mann — and raced 47 yards to the end zone to give the Lions a 7-0 lead. It was the first TD on a punt return of Raymond's career.
