Game Preview

Let’s see the new Steelers. Mike Tomlin now has Rogers, a veteran who is still a superstar, and he has WR DK Metcalf, too. Plus, the superstrong defense, which was always at the highest possible level. Therefore, the playoffs should be a realistic goal.

The Steelers’ offense was way problematic last year, averaging 0.92 points per drive, which was 30th in the NFL. Now, if they even show the slightest improvement, this team will be significantly better.

The New York Jets have an above-average defense. With DT Harrison Phillips, that’s going to be even better. Quinnen Williams still leads the way, as he is one of the best defensive tackles in the league.

On the other hand, Justin Fields will be the starting quarterback. Will he be able to carry this amount of pressure? Yes, for sure. The Jets have a new head coach, Aaron Glenn, who is ready to take a chance with Fields.

Steelers vs. Jets Head to Head

For the moment, the Steelers have a huge edge against the Jets, 21-7. They met last year in Pittsburgh, with the hosts winning 37-15.

Steelers vs. Jets Predictions

This will be a tough battle, with defenses leading the way. But due to a more experienced quarterback and better receiving core, our pick here would be Pittsburgh to win.
