They have already won 2 games through the first 7 games of the season and they have actually outscored their opponents this season.
The Jets are a solid road team and will not be intimidated by heading to Detroit. They have won 8 of their last 9 games on the road and they look to continue with that sort of success.

The key for the Jets will be the running game as usual. The Jets have a running attack that carries their team. If they can get the running game going early then things should open up for Sanchez in the air.
