The Steelers take on the Jets this Sunday in Pittsburgh. The Jets are coming off an ugly loss to the Cincinnati Bengals and the Steelers are coming off an ugly defeat to the Cleveland Browns last week. This is the matchup of the young quarterbacks in Zach Wilson and Mitch Trubisky.
Let’s start with the New York Jets. They are coming off an ugly loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Joe Flacco was 28 for 52, threw for 285 yards and two interceptions. But the Jets are getting former number two overall pick Zach Wilson back. Wilson hurt his knee during preseason. Last year in 13 games Wilson had a 55.6 completion percentage, 2,334 yards, nine touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He added four rushing touchdowns. With all of the additions the Jets have made on offense they need their second year quarterback to take a step forward.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming off a disappointing loss against the Cleveland Browns last week. Mitch Trubisky was 20 -32 for 207 yards and had a rushing touchdown. The Steelers had a really good win in week one over the Bengals, but have dropped their last two games against the Patriots and Browns. Head Coach Mike Tomlin has continuously said Trubisky is the starter, but how long is the leash? The Steelers defense will be without TJ Watt who is still suffering from a pec injury.
I hope for a very exciting matchup this weekend as I will be there in person.
Prediction : Jets : 23 – Steelers: 10
