For The Win

It almost seemed impossible. The New York Jets had gone five years - or 73 games! - without recording a defensive touchdown. Not one - no pick-sixes, no fumble recoveries - none.

That decidedly Jets drought came to an end on Monday.

In the second half of New York's game against the Lions, Darron Lee intercepted Matthew Stafford's pass and took it 36 yards for a touchdown.

Somehow the Jets went 73 games without that happening. The last time they scored a defensive touchdown, it came via an Antonio Allen interception off Tom Brady in 2013.

The Jets ended up winning that game in overtime.
