While in Detroit, he threw for 3,200 yards and 19 touchdowns, far from his full potential. In year two…

The Lions have nine home games and eight on the road, giving them home field advantage for the majority of their seventeen games. They also have the fifth easiest ranked schedule, which should help the Lions on their quest to finish above .500 in 2022.

With the Jets failing to make the playoffs in the last 10 seasons and finishing in the bottom of the AFC East in 6 of the last 8 seasons, making the playoffs seems like wishful thinking. With the new wave of talent being brought in, the Jets chances seem to be steadily increasing. “I’m really expecting playoffs or bust,” says Mosley to Mark Inabinnett of Al.com. “Obviously that’s my goal every year, but I think it’s something that’s a realistic goal for our entire team and our coaches.” Last season, under new coach Robert Salah, the Jets went 4-13.…
