A personnel change at wide receiver didn’t yield a different result as the New York Jets lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Even with an infusion of blood in the offense, the Jets couldn’t withstand another new set of injuries as the Pittsburgh Steelers walked away with a 37-15 victory at Acrisure Stadium on Sunday night.
Plus, it was the season debut for Pittsburgh quarterback Russell Wilson, who missed the first six games due to an injury. Pittsburgh scored 24 unanswered points, triggered by the Jets’ first significant mistake of the game. Rodgers threw an interception with 1:15 left in the second quarter on a pass intended for wide receiver Garrett Wilson. Rodgers didn’t see rookie defensive back Beanie Bishop lurking underneath, who picked it off.
In the second half, the Steelers got a 21-yard field goal by Chris Boswell to take the lead, followed by another Bishop interception on a Rodgers pass that bounced off Wilson. Bishop returned it to the Jets’ one-yard line and Wilson snuck it in for a touchdown.
