The New York Jets and the Pittsburg Steelers will duel from Steel City on Sunday Night Football.
New York limps into this contest with a 2-4 record. Former head coach Robert Saleh was fired two weeks ago after the Jets' loss in London against the Minnesota Vikings. New York was hopeful the coaching change would give them a boost for Monday night's matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
Unfortunately for the Jets' faithful, their team's struggles continued, as they lost 23-20 at home. Tonight is a must-win for the Jets, who will look to avoid a 2-5 hole.
New York made headlines this week trading for superstar receiver Davante Adams. Adams was Rodgers' top target for years in Green Bay, and is expected to give this offense a major boost.
This morning, the Jets got more good news when it was announced that they had reached an agreement with Pro Bowl defensive end Hassan Reddick, who had been holding out all season due to contract issues.
