The storyline
Detroit is trying to mimic the Jets' renaissance behind a first-round quarterback and a younger, defensive-minded head coach. The Lions aren't there yet, but have a chance to send a message here against a team that might be looking a tad bit beyond them.

Why you should watch
Darrelle Revis against Megatron. That should be fun. Of course, Rex Ryan could go with a heavy dose of the longer Antonio Cromartie against him as well, particularly in the red zone. Oh, and this Ndamukong Suh kid is the real deal.

The Jets have won six consecutive home games. ... New York's Dustin Keller is third among NFL tight ends with five touchdowns. ... Lions running back Jahvid Best leads all NFL rookies with 613 yards from scrimmage. ... Detroit's Matthew Stafford has 11 passing touchdowns in his past five games.
