    The New York Jets continued their 2024 NFL season with a 37-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7.

    Every outing was a total team effort. Individually, certain players stand out for better or worse. That was the case in Pittsburgh on Sunday.

    With that, here is Jets Wire’s stock report after the Jets (2-5) loss to the Steelers (5-2):

    Stock down: WR Garrett Wilson

    A statistical line of five catches for 61 yards usually isn’t bad. However, Wilson’s drop, which led to an interception, was such a setback that his stock fell. He said it himself.

    Stock to: Will McDonald IV

    The Jets defense had a “bend but don’t break” mentality for most of the game. The crime never picked them up. Some of the defensive success was due to McDonald. He recorded a sack and tackle for a loss against the Steelers.

    Stock down: K Greg Zuerlein

    East Rutherford, NJ – October 14, 2024 – After missing two field goals in the second half, the Jets' Greg Zuerlein leaves the field at the end of the game. The Buffalo Bills came to MetLife Stadium to play the NY Jets. The Jets played their first game under new interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich.East Rutherford, NJ – October 14, 2024 – After missing two field goals in the second half, the Jets' Greg Zuerlein leaves the field at the end of the game.

    Another game, another miss. Zuerlein is not having a good 2024 season. At least he scored his extra-point attempt. His kick was blocked against the Steelers and it’s a concern.

    Stock down: CB Brandin Echols

    Echols saw more playing time for the second straight game due to DJ Reed’s groin injury. He was bullied again and many wondered why Steelers wide receiver George Pickens wasn’t followed by Jets cornerback Sauce Garder earlier in the game.

    Stock down: DT Quinnen Williams

    It was just a quiet game for Williams. Steelers running back Najee Harris put up 102 yards rushing and Williams never stood out at any point.

    Hit: RB Breece Hall

    Although it was a poor game on offense, Hall did put up some numbers. He only had 38 rushing yards, but he led the Jets in the passing attack. Hall had 103 yards receiving and put away a rushing touchdown.

    Stock down: QB Aaron Rodgers

    Two interceptions and both were extremely demoralizing for the Jets. Wilson’s wasn’t on Rodgers, but given all the recent changes? Rodgers has no more excuses in New York.

    Stock to: TE Tyler Conklin

    Conklin had his first touchdown since October 2022. That will help his stock.
