Crossover Thursday! Detroit Lions and New York Jets clash at Ford Field, both eager to prove their playoff credentials after up-and-down starts. Defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn’s much-debated return to Detroit sparks tough questions about his game management, as clock mishaps and controversial challenges contributed to the Jets’ recent stumbles. Can the Lions exploit the Jets’ secondary, or will Glenn’s inside knowledge of Detroit’s offense shift the balance?

Matt Dery and John Butchko break down the pivotal battles: Jahmyr Gibbs aims to break through a revamped Jets run defense led by T'Vondre Sweat and DeMario Davis, while Jameson Williams tests the speed of Azariah Thomas and Brandon Stephens. Key storylines include injuries to Detroit’s secondary, the ongoing Jets interception drought, and the impact of special teams play. Can the Lions reaffirm their offensive identity, or will the Jets pull off a road upset and finally generate game-changing takeaways? #firstlisten

The Lions will know on May 14th what their 2025 schedule is and that seems to be the biggest concern with the fanbase. The road slate is absolutely brutal, with only one game against a team with an under 500 record from 2024. Yet, Detroit was perfect away from home last season. We talk about that and also Todd McShay commented on the Lions draft, and we give some love to the Pistons and have 2 Calls of the Day. #firstlisten
