PITTSBURGH – On a night where Davante Adams, the Jets’ newest toy, seemed to be a big focus as the All-Pro receiver made his debut with the team, it was Garrett Wilson who stole the show.

For all the wrong reasons.

Wilson had the worst game of his NFL career in the Jets’ 37-15 loss to the Steelers Sunday night at Acrisure Stadium, where he allowed an Aaron Rodgers pass to bounce off his chest and into the arms of Steelers cornerback Beanie Bishop Jr. . crushing interception.

Afterwards, Wilson left little doubt about how ill he was.

“That was the reason we ultimately lost the game,” Wilson said. ‘That can’t happen. Can’t happen. Terrible plays. I gotta catch a damn ball. I’m playing like s–t now and I gotta fix it.

With the Jets trailing, 16-15, in the third quarter, Wilson was open down the left sideline and Rodgers’ pass hit him right at the number 5 on his jersey and the ball bounced right into the arms of Bishop, who returned it . 41 yards to the Jets’ 1-yard line.

Making matters even more damaging, Jets right guard Xavier Newman suffered a scary neck injury upon his return after being blocked to the ground and carted off the field strapped to a stretcher.

Fortunately, he was later cleared by doctors to return to New Jersey with the team.

But Wilson was furious with himself for the game-changing play, which led to a Russell Wilson 1-yard touchdown run and a 23-15 Steelers lead.

“It’s like a culmination of me getting into bad habits and not attacking the ball in the game,” Wilson said. “I have to fix it, use my hands and catch the ball. I have to start doing what I do, what I know I can do. I’m not pushing. I just don’t trust what I do since I was a kid.

“The way I see it, if I don’t drop that ball, we would win the game. If I can do what I came here to do, do what people expect of me, do what I expect of myself, then I feel like we’ll win this game. I let the boys down today. I let the team down.”

Wilson finished with five catches for 61 yards on nine targets.

Adams, who was acquired on Tuesday, caught three passes for 30 yards on nine targets and didn’t appear on the same page as Rodgers on some occasions.

Rodgers threw a pass to him on the first offensive play of the game and the result was difficult: the pass went too far wide of him or he was not in the right spot.

“I wouldn’t say rust,” Adams said. “It is clear that we can continue on a better page. The first match was all football. It doesn’t always work. We had a really good week of practice and will continue to have a good week of practice next week and see what we can do to turn the tide.”
