Late afternoon/Sunday evening football open thread

Sunday Night Football will feature the debut of Russell Wilson as quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers after he recovered from a worsening calf injury during training camp. It will also be Devante Adams’ first game after being traded to the New York Jets to reconnect with Aaron Rodgers.

The Steelers’ 4-2 record is a testament to how good their defense has been this season. They have allowed just 14.3 points per game so far this season (second lowest in the NFL). This will win you games even if you score in 20th place.

The Rodgers-led Jets are 2-4 and fired their head coach before last week. Now they went out and took Rodgers’ favorite target from Green Bay. The quarterback and the team are running out of excuses as expectations have been sky high this year. They’re actually the 23rd-ranked scoring offense, so they were worse than the Justin Fields-led Steelers offense.

The Jets defense did its best. They have allowed the second-fewest yards per game and the seventh-best scoring defense (18 points per game). Defense was former head coach Robert Saleh’s specialty. You have to look at the built Rodgers and create offense for problems like he has done are boysdespite saying he has nothing to say.

FanDuel has the Jets favored by 2.5 points.

Here are our staff’s picks for tonight’s game.
