Detroit @ N.Y. Jets
Team Totals: Jets 23, Lions 21.5
Albeit while hitting on all cylinders offensively, the dome-team Lions catch a daunting Week 15 draw on the road against Gang Green’s arguably league-best defense, which has allowed the NFL’s lowest completion rate (58%), fifth-fewest yards per pass attempt (6.6), and fifth-fewest passing TDs (13). At least until he returns to Detroit’s indoor environment — yes, I’m eyeing Week 17 versus the Bears — I’ll be passing on Jared Goff. … The Lions resumed deploying a three-way RBBC in Week 14’s win. Respectively, Jamaal Williams, D’Andre Swift, and Justin Jackson shared snaps on a 26-25-20 basis against Minnesota, while Williams ineffectively resumed lead-touch duties (16) and Swift returned to a pace-change role (nine touches). Both were vultured by Jackson (five touches) on a 15-yard touchdown run in the second half. Although the Jets’ suffocating front seven would be weakened by game-wrecking DT Quinnen Williams’ (calf) potential absence, Robert Saleh’s unit is loaded enough to keep Jamaal in TD-or-bust RB2/flex range and Swift as a low-floor flex starter with a frustratingly-capped usage projection.
