Lions fans celebrating a 31-24 win over the Jets while still fuming about Ben Johnson and whatever aired at halftime.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse. ● biggest swings
What happened
The scoreboard says W, but the tape says NYJ marched to the DET 1 with 4:11 left before a J.Goff-to-J.Gibbs 11-yard touchdown and a C.Clark strip-sack of G.Smith bailed things out. The I.TeSlaa 49-yard catch was the spark, yet letting G.Wilson uncover for 22 in a one-score game keeps the mood uneasy. A win is a win, and Campbell's sideline hug was earned — but this defense has questions that Week 4 will ask louder.

The Detroit Lions are the second team in NFL history to score 30+ points in each of their first 3 games of a season while also having a negative total point differential over those games (1994 New England Patriots).
