Kenyon Sadiq aims for bigger role as Jets face Lions in Week 3
Summary

The New York Jets, with a record of 1-1, prepare for a Week 3 matchup against the Detroit Lions, also 1-1. After a tough loss to the Green Bay Packers, the Jets will look to utilize rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq more prominently. Sadiq, who scored his first NFL touchdown in Week 1, has seen limited targets, but the Lions have struggled to defend against tight ends this season, allowing significant receptions and touchdowns. With injuries to other receivers, Sadiq is expected to play a crucial role in the Jets' offensive strategy against the Lions.
