NFL Week 7 Recap: Pittsburgh Steelers 37, New York Jets 15

It took Russell Wilson a couple of drives to shake off the rust, but he played a key role as the Pittsburgh Steelers scored 31 unanswered points to secure a 37-15 victory over the New York Jets in Week 7.

In Wilson's first game since Christmas Eve 2023, the veteran quarterback finished 16-of-29 for 264 yards and two touchdowns, and he led a Steelers offense that generated a season-high 0.296 EPA per passing play.

For the New York Jets, it was another loss snatched from the jaws of victory as  Aaron Rodgers and company let a 15-6 lead slip away. Rodgers was solid, finishing 24-of-39 for 276 yards and one touchdown, but his two interceptions shifted the momentum of the game.
