Hoping to build on their win over the Bills, the Lions flew to The Meadowlands and took on the New York Jets.  From the get-go, Detroit trailed early as N.Y. RB Leon Washington got a 5-yard TD run, while QB Chad Pennington completed a 44-yard TD pass to WR Justin McCareins.  In the second quarter, the Lions got on the board with QB Jon Kitna completing a 22-yard TD pass to WR Roy Williams.  However, the Jets responded with RB Kevan Barlow running three yards for a touchdown.  In the third quarter, New York continued to fly high as kicker Mike Nugent completed a 33-yard field goal.  Even though Detroit would get another touchdown, with Kitna completing a 9-yard TD pass to RB Kevin Jones, the "Gang Green" would finish off the Lions with Washington's 16-yard TD run.  With the loss, Detroit heads into its Bye Week at 1-6.
