New York Jets vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Game Inactive

The storylines change, often dramatically, for each NFL team from week to week.

After three weeks, the 2-1 Jets looked to continue building momentum at home against Denver.

After four weeks, the 2-2 Jets were looking to bounce back on the London stage against Minnesota.

After five weeks, the 2-3 Jets had a chance to end a two-game losing streak and move into a tie for first place with a primetime win over the Bills at home.

That brings us to the 2-4 Jets who are heading to a traditionally tough city and venue for them over the years, Pittsburgh and Acrisure Stadium (formerly Heinz Field), to get back on the winning track against the 4-2 Steelers.

And a big part of this week’s Green & White storyline is the new teammate they have in elite WR Davante Adams to add to QB Aaron Rodgers, WR Garrett Wilson, RB Breece Hall and the offense’s tough defense the Steelers, but potentially vulnerable pass coverage , even if TJ Watt comes hard off Pitt’s left edge.

“I never thought this was possible,” Rodgers said of the trade with the Raiders that took Adams, his former eight-year Green Bay teammate, from one high-rolling market, Las Vegas, to another, New York. “To have Tae here and then have the opportunity to pair him with a budding superstar in Garrett, that’s a pretty special combination.”

The Jets and their fans could get a sense of how special Adams, who suffered a hamstring injury early in the season, was able to play tonight. One stat line says it all: 615 completions, 7,517 yards and 68 touchdowns. That’s the number of times Rodgers and Adams have connected, all the most of any A-Rod target — great production, especially considering the two haven’t been on the same team the past two seasons.
