Scored the Jets' 37-15 road loss to the Steelers on Sunday night.
offense
The Jets only scored 15 points and were held scoreless in the second half. Not to mention the run game (54 yards), his best passing play was a dump-off to running back Breece Hall (six catches, 103 yards).
QB Aaron Rodgers (24-of-39, 276 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT, 70 rating) wasn't doing so well, and his interception before halftime dictated the flow of the game.
WR Garrett Wilson (5 catches, 61 yards) bounced the ball off his chest and completed Rodgers' second interception. WR Davante Adams (3 catches, 30 yards) wasn't very effective in the first game.
Grade: D
defense
The Steelers gained 409 total yards, including 227 in the second half. The Jets were unable to generate takeaways, and as the game wore on, the defense looked depleted and injuries piled up in the secondary.
Cornerback Sauce Gardner was penalized for pass interference, setting up the Steelers' score before halftime.
QB Russell Wilson (16-of-29, 264 yards, 2 TDS, 109 rating) got off to a slow start but found a rhythm and hit a number of downfield passes for the Jets. WR George Pickens (5 catches, 111 yards, 1 TD) repeatedly shut down the Jets.
Grade: F
special teams
Greg Zuerlein blocked a field goal in the third quarter that may have given the Jets some momentum. Kick returner Xavier Gipson fumbled two returns.
Grade: D
coaching
Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said the Jets did not handle adversity well, and Rodgers said the team lacked energy. Both are terrible for a new head coach.
The Jets had another error-filled game, but they weren't quite the team anyone expected.
Todd Downing ran away too soon, and the Jets looked much the same as they did before Woody Johnson's coaching shakeup.
Grade: F
