From the article

quarterback Geno Smith is holding onto the ball (he averages 2.97 seconds per throw, 7th longest), and his line is holding up just long enough to keep him upright. Second, Smith still has enough mobility (at 35 years old) to stretch his time in the pocket.

STACKED’s take

NeutralMatchup

Smith's hold time and mobility help mitigate pressure, but Lions' elite pass rush looms.

Smith is holding onto the ball at 2.97 seconds per throw (7th longest in the NFL) and has mobility at age 35 to extend plays; the Jets' offensive line has a 77.4 PFF pass-blocking grade (highest in the NFL) and allowed only one sack in Week 1, but surrendered 33 pressures through two games (28th), indicating Smith and his line have mitigated pressure so far but face a Lions pass rush ranked sixth in time-to-pressure (2.51 seconds) and fifth in total pressures (39).
