Both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Jets enter their Week 7 ‘Sunday Night Football’ matchup with a new look.
The Jets made waves on Oct. 15, swinging a trade for Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams. The move reunites the three-time All-Pro with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, adding a much-needed reinforcement for a struggling Jets offense. While New York showed signs of life in their Week 6 matchup vs. the Bills, it still ended in a loss to their division rival.
Capping the loss was a Rodgers interception on a pass intended for Mike Williams; the quarterback was none too happy with the receiver for the route. It’s little surprise that the deal got down.
Pittsburgh is making its own hefty change. The Steelers turn to quarterback Russell Wilson to guide their lackluster offense, which ranks 20th in the league in points and 26th in the league in yards on offense.
Wilson has yet to play a snap for Pittsburgh, as the veteran passer has been nursing a calf injury. Instead, it’s been Justin Fields under center for Pittsburgh, who has used his legs to great effect this year. Fields has five rushing touchdowns to go with five passing touchdowns, leading some to wonder why the switch is being made for the 4-2 squad.
