Kenyon Sadiq impresses as Jets lose to Lions
Summary

The New York Jets fell 31-24 to the Detroit Lions on September 27, 2026. Late in the game, a fumble by quarterback Geno Smith allowed the Lions to secure the victory after the Jets were driving for the potential game-winning touchdown. Despite the loss, rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq made history with seven receptions for 105 yards, becoming the first Jets rookie tight end to achieve a 100-yard game in his third NFL appearance.
