2014 Jets Opponents: Detroit Lions
2014 Jets Opponents: The Jets Will Face the Detroit Lions at MetLife Stadium in 2014
If you're a fan of watching the best of the best at the wide receiver position, you're going to want to come out to MetLife Stadium next season when the Lions come to town and witness Calvin Johnson's incredible athleticism in person.
CB Dee Milliner, meanwhile, could be assigned to match up with Megatron. If he plays anywhere near the level he did during the month of December when he took home the Rookie of the Month honors, the Jets should be in good shape.
Raise your hand if you think the Jets will beat the Lions next season.
DE Muhammad Wilkerson's sack during last year's preseason opener at Detroit was a sign of things to come. No. 96 finished with a team-high 10.5 during the regular season.
For DT Sheldon Richardson, his Defensive Rookie of the Year campaign began with our first preseason game against the Lions. They'll get to see just how much he's improved when they come into MetLife Stadium next season.
Chris Hope had no hope of tackling RB Bilal Powell on this play. Powell will return next year for his fourth season in Green & White.
WR Jeremy Kerley led the Jets in receptions and receiving yards in each of the past two seasons. Will he make it three in a row in 2014?
TE Jeff Cumberland, meanwhile, led our team in receiving touchdowns with four.
Geno Smith's push to become the No. 1 QB last year began with a 6-for-7 passing performance at Detroit. He went on to start all 16 regular season games under center.
No. 37 Jaiquawn Jarrett, No. 30 Darrin Walls and No. 32 Josh Bush could all see expanded roles in the secondary in 2014.
