Steelers vs Jets: Russ' First Start

Russell Wilson made his first start in a Steelers uniform a memorable one. With the Steelers honoring the 50th anniversary of the 1974 Super Bowl team, Wilson and the offense put on a show, with the quarterback throwing a pair of touchdown passes and rushing for another as the Steelers dispatched the Jets, 37-15, Sunday night before a packed crowd of 66,956 at Acrisure Stadium. Wilson, who had missed the first six games of the season with a calf injury, completed 16 of 29 passes for 264 yards, posting a passer rating of 109.0 to outduel New York's Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers threw for 276 yards, but was picked off twice in the game, both by rookie cornerback Beanie Bishop, as the Steelers scored 31 unanswered points to overcome a 15-6 first-half deficit and improve to 5-2. - Dale Lolley
