Quarterback Geno Smith threw for over 300 yards, but a late fumble sealed a 31-24 loss for the New York Jets against the Detroit Lions in Week 3. Smith connected frequently with rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq, who caught seven passes for 105 yards and a touchdown to tie the game late in the fourth quarter.
