The Pittsburgh Steelers faced off against the New York Jets in a highly anticipated matchup, but the absence of wide receiver Davante Adams, now with the Jets, was felt. Quarterback Russell Wilson made his debut, leading the Steelers to a decisive 37-15 victory, silencing critics of his starting role over Justin Fields.
Wilson showcased his skills with two touchdown passes and impressive yardage, while Najee Harris dominated the rushing game. The Steelers' defense, led by Alex Highsmith and T.J. Watt, stifled the Jets, forcing turnovers and limiting their offensive production.
With this win, the Steelers improved to 5-2, positioning themselves at the top of the AFC North as they look ahead to a potential 6-2 record before their bye week.
