Davante Adams’ reunion with Aaron Rodgers was spoiled by the debut of Russell Wilson, who led his Pittsburgh Steelers to a 37-15 win over the New York Jets on “Sunday Night Football.”

While all the hype surrounded Adams reuniting with Rodgers, his old Green Bay Packers quarterback, after a trade from the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this week, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin switched to Wilson over Justin Fields at quarterback to to see if the veteran Super Bowl champion could run his offense the way he wanted to see it.

And while Wilson had to shake off some rust, the Steelers’ offensive engine rolled down a good Jets defense with a brilliant performance from his signal caller.

Wilson threw for 264 yards on 16-of-29 through the air with two passing touchdowns, one to his main target of the night, George Pickens, and another to Van Jefferson.

Meanwhile, Steelers running back Najee Harris led a formidable ground game with 102 yards on 21 carries with a late-game touchdown to cap off an incredible night for Pittsburgh as they moved to 5-2 on the year.

But that dream connection that wreaked havoc on Green Bay defenses for years wasn’t immediately seen in Adams’ debut, as he caught just three of his nine targets from Rodgers for 30 yards.
