The New York Jets (2-4) are gearing up for a crucial matchup this Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2).
Both teams made headlines on Tuesday.
The Jets made a significant trade, acquiring wide receiver Davante Adams from the Raiders. This move reunites him with QB Aaron Rodgers, who played with Adams in Green Bay for eight seasons, in exchange for a conditional third-round pick that could elevate to a second rounder for Las Vegas in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Shortly after, the Steelers revealed plans to give QB Russell Wilson first-team reps this week, positioning him to potentially debut against the Jets, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Despite the excitement surrounding Adams, the Jets are coming off a tough 23-20 loss to the Bills, where missed opportunities haunted them as home underdogs.
The offense showed signs of improvement in interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich’s debut, but familiar mistakes persisted, leaving the Jets two games under .500.
Meanwhile, the Steelers rebounded from a two-game skid, scoring 26 unanswered points to secure a 32-13 victory over the Raiders last Sunday.
