The Detroit Lions defeated the New York Jets 31-24 at Ford Field in their Week 3 matchup to improve to 2-1 on the season. Lions head coach Dan Campbell praised his team's effort following the narrow victory, noting that the hard-fought result was just what the doctor ordered for his squad as they learn how to win together early in the campaign.
The contest was sealed late in the fourth quarter when Chuck Clark sacked Jets quarterback Geno Smith and forced a fumble at Detroit's 28-yard line. Campbell specifically commended defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard for the play call, along with the defense's overall execution to secure the final stop.
