Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell expressed relief after a narrow 31-24 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday, calling it "just what the doctor ordered." The win marked the third consecutive game with exactly 31 points, a franchise first for the Lions to start a season. Running back Jahmyr Gibbs scored three touchdowns, including a 17-yard run that evoked comparisons to Lions legend Barry Sanders, who was in attendance. Gibbs now trails only Sanders in franchise rushing touchdowns.

Quarterback Jared Goff continued his efficient play, completing 25-of-32 passes for 269 yards and two touchdowns, extending his NFL-leading streak of games with a touchdown pass to 26. Goff credited his discipline in taking checkdowns against deep coverage. The defense, heavily criticized after allowing 71 points in the first two weeks, sealed the win with a strip sack by safety Chuck Clark, recovered by linebacker Jack Campbell.

Campbell praised the team's exciting style, saying, "These are exciting games. Come down to the wire. Nobody's leaving early." The Lions remain undefeated, with their offense and defense showing resilience.
