EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The Detroit Lions came back to stun the New York Jets 20-17 on Sunday at MetLife Stadium, their sixth win in seven weeks. Amon-Ra St. Brown is on the verge of yet another Lions receiving record. He already broke Calvin Johnson’s rookie receiving record last year, and just became the only Lions player with back-to-back 900-yard seasons to open his career. -- holds the record at 23 years, 69 days old. St. Brown would beat the record by eight days if he gets there on Saturday against the Carolina Panthers.

There is a lot on the line in the Week 15 matchup between the Detroit Lions (6-7) and New York Jets (7-6) from MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. We’ll try and answer three burning questions ahead of kickoff below:What does Jets QB Zach Wilson’s return mean for this game? He averaged only 182.7 passing yards per game with a QBR of 72.6 in seven starts. It’s not all bad, with the Lions averaging 4.5 yards per rush, 17th in the league heading into Week 15. Our gameplan always starts with the run game, and so, sure, it’s been disappointing,” Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson said.

Offensive mastermind Ben Johnson is the secret weapon behind the late-season playoff push by the 6-7 Detroit Lions, who have won five out of their last six games to put themselves back in the hunt for the seventh and final wildcard spot.

"Eli is our only two-time Super Bowl MVP and one of the very best players in our franchise's history."
