In his debut for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Russell Wilson threw two touchdown passes and rushed for another, leading the team to a convincing 37-15 victory over the New York Jets. Wilson's performance came after a six-week recovery from a calf injury, showcasing his capability despite a slow start.

The Jets, now under interim coach Jeff Ulbrich, struggled to maintain their early lead as Pittsburgh capitalized on turnovers, including two interceptions by rookie cornerback Beanie Bishop. The Steelers' offense gained momentum, scoring 30 points in consecutive games for the first time since 2020.
