In a primetime clash at Acrisure Stadium, the Pittsburgh Steelers rallied from a 15-6 deficit to crush the New York Jets 37-15, with a commanding performance spearheaded by quarterback Russell Wilson in his Pittsburgh debut. Entering the contest amid whispers of a quarterback controversy, Wilson dispelled any doubts by orchestrating a potent second-half surge, throwing two touchdowns and diving for a 1-yard rushing touchdown that punctuated a night of 31 unanswered points from the Steelers.
