• One of the things that those who wanted Fields to start again Wilson used to support their argument was that Fields would do better behind what is currently a somewhat makeshift offensive line.

Now Wilson was under pressure, especially early in the game. But the Jets finished with five quarterback hits and one sack.

Wilson showed he is still more than mobile to escape a pass rush. He may not run 40 or 50 yards at this point in his career, but he’s not a statue in the pocket either.

It also helps to have Jaylen Warren back and healthy to complement Harris. Warren had 44 rushing yards in this game and did his usual stand-up work as a pass protector on third downs.

There is enough rush from these two running backs – with Cordarrelle Patterson waiting in the wings – to keep this offense running well.

“This is the ultimate team sport,” Harris said. If I go there and I’m getting beat up and Jaylen comes in and he’s making a big run, he’s eating. Those are big props to him, you know what I mean?”

• The Steelers came into this game having allowed the fewest yards in the league to opposing offensive players. They are generally a good tackling team.

That certainly hurt Hall a little. His six receptions probably totaled about 20 air yards and he finished with 103 total receiving yards.

But sometimes you also have to credit the opponent for his goodness. And Hall might be the smoothest runner in the NFL when he gets the ball in space.

Don’t kill the defense too much for that performance.

• However, you can credit the defense for largely being an afterthought to Rodgers’ newest toy, Davante Adams.

Adams and Garrett Wilson, who entered the game with 41 receptions, second-most in the NFL, combined for eight catches on 18 targets for 91 yards. Adams had three catches for 30 yards on nine targets.

That’s good work by the cornerbacks. And with Donte Jackson sidelined in the second quarter due to a shoulder injury, James Pierre stepped in and was equal to the task.

“They have really good players, Wilson and Davante Adams, they are a really good receiving corps,” Pierre said. “Just being in the NFL, you have to be ready. You have to have the mentality that you’re going to play. The coach said, get in there and do what the other guys have done. It’s about being ready are.” “

• An additional thought on this. With the 1974 Super Bowl team being honored at this game to mark the 50th anniversary of that victory over the Vikings, things were a little more exciting than usual.

The audience was electric. And the players saw those heroes who had set the table for everything that followed and reacted accordingly.

“I always respect it. I got a chance to talk to Joe (Greene), everyone really, Mel (Blount), Donnie (Shell),” Heyward said. “They are so grateful to us. They are open. You have to rise to the occasion. When you wear that patch on the jersey, you don’t just want it to be a memorial. You have to honor those guys, and hopefully our game reflects that.”
