Break up the Detroit Lions.
That rambling, gambling man Dan Campbell called a pass play on fourth down with less than two minutes to play and was rewarded with a 51-yard TD pass from Jared Goff to Brock Wright.
The scoring play gave Detroit a 20-17 lead and they held on to improve to 2-0 at MetLife Stadium.
The Lions had already defeated the New York Giants there in 2022.

Jared Goff & Brock Wright (51-yd game-winning TD)
On 4th & inches, Wright had 10.7 yards of separation from the nearest defender when the pass arrived. Wright was expected to gain 31 yards after the catch, 2nd-most on any reception this season.#DETvsNYJ | Powered by @awscloud pic.twitter.com/IH4Jj6gEOM

The Jets had a last gasp after Zach Wilson completed a pass off a scramble.

The field-goal attempt by Greg Zuerlein was no good from 58 yards and the Jets fell to 7-7, the same record as the Lions.
