    On this week’s edition of “Sunday Night Football,” one team plays its second consecutive primetime game, while the other team plays its second “SNF” game in three weeks. Both are primed for potentially big changes in their Week 7 game.

    The New York Jets and newcomer Davante Adams will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers and a potential new starting quarterback in Russell Wilson in Pittsburgh.

    New York is looking for a win for the first time since a Week 3 win over the New England Patriots. The Jets’ three-game losing streak has pushed the team to 2-4 and third place in the AFC East.

    Meanwhile, the Steelers are coming off a 32-13 road victory against the Las Vegas Raiders. They seek clarity on their rookie quarterback battle as Wilson makes his debut. He has been dealing with a calf injury that has lingered since training camp, allowing youngster Justin Fields to make six straight starts to open the season.

    Here’s what you need to know for tonight’s ‘Sunday Night Football’ clash:

    Who’s playing on Sunday Night Football tonight?

    Two teams that have yet to make any major roster moves will face off on the Week 7 edition of “Sunday Night Football.”

    The Steelers, coming off a road win against the Las Vegas Raiders, could make a change at quarterback. After a 4-2 start that saw young signal caller Justin Fields start all six games under center to open the year, the team is poised to start newcomer and veteran Russell Wilson in Week 7.

    Earlier this week, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin officially did not commit to starting Wilson on Sunday, despite reports that the veteran would take first-team reps. For now, the former Bronco and Seahawk is considering making his first start for Pittsburgh after dealing with a calf injury to start the year.

    On the other side of the field, the Jets are playing in their second straight primetime game – following their Monday Night Football loss to the Bills in Week 6 – and their third straight game on national television – including the loss to the Vikings in London.

    This time, New York will have a new pass-catching weapon. On Tuesday, the Jets acquired wide receiver Davante Adams in a trade with the Raiders, reuniting Aaron Rodgers with his favorite target from his time in Green Bay. Adams has been dealing with a hamstring injury in recent weeks but is expected to be ready to play on Sunday evening.

    The stakes for this week’s “Sunday Night Football” game have been set.

    The Jets are hoping the Rodgers-Adams reunion can provide a spark to right the ship after dropping each of their last three games. The Steelers may decide their starting quarterback for the remainder of the season.
