Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff joked after Sunday’s 20-17 come-from-behind victory over the New York Jets on the road that he’d rather win ugly than lose pretty.
Sunday’s win certainly wasn’t pretty for the Lions, but all wins count the same in this league, and this one shows just how far this young Lions team has come. Offense, defense and special teams all had a hand in this win that propels them to 7-7 on the season after a 1-6 start and keeps their playoff hopes alive.
