show moreKey Players to Watch
New York Jets:
Aaron Rodgers (QB): Rodgers has thrown for 1,387 yards, 9 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions this season. He’ll need to continue his efficient play to lead the Jets' offense, which has shown flashes of brilliance but has struggled with consistency.
Breece Hall (RB): Despite some ups and downs, Hall has rushed for 310 yards and 2 touchdowns. He’ll be a critical factor in trying to balance the Jets’ offense against a tough Steelers front.
Garrett Wilson (WR): Wilson has been a reliable target for Rodgers, with 399 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns this season. He’s a player capable of making game-changing plays and will be heavily involved in the Jets' passing attack.
Pittsburgh Steelers:
Justin Fields (QB): Fields has contributed both through the air and on the ground, with 1,106 passing yards, 5 touchdowns, and 5 rushing touchdowns. His dual-threat ability will be a key concern for the Jets' defense.
Najee Harris (RB): Harris leads the Steelers' strong rushing attack with 376 yards and 1 touchdown. Given the Jets’ issues in run defense, Harris could have a big game.
T.J. Watt (OLB): Watt is one of the league’s premier pass rushers, with 4.5 sacks this season. His ability to pressure Rodgers and disrupt the Jets' passing game will be crucial to the Steelers’ success.
Team Breakdown
Jets Defense: The Jets’ defense has been stout, ranking second in the NFL in passing yards allowed. However, they have struggled against the run, which may be an issue against Pittsburgh’s ground game. Look for linebacker Quincy Williams and defensive lineman Will McDonald IV to play key roles in stopping the Steelers' rushing attack.
Steelers Offense: Pittsburgh ranks 9th in the league in rushing yards, with Fields and Harris leading the way. They will likely lean heavily on the run to control the clock and take pressure off Fields in the passing game. The Steelers’ offensive line will also need to hold up against the Jets’ pass rush, led by Quinnen Williams.
Where to Watch
The game will air on NBC at 8:20 p.m. ET, and fans can also stream it live on platforms like Peacock and NBC Sports. Additionally, live scores and stats will be available on NFL apps and websites, making it easy for fans to follow the action from anywhere.
Game Prediction
This game is expected to be close, with the Jets slightly favored. The Jets’ defense will need to contain Justin Fields’ dual-threat capabilities, while Aaron Rodgers will look to outduel Pittsburgh’s defense. The predicted final score is Jets 21, Steelers 19, but with both teams playing with a sense of urgency, it could go either way.
Tune in for what promises to be an exciting, hard-fought contest!
