Russell Wilson’s debut as the Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback spoiled Davante Adams‘ debut with the New York Jets, as the black and yellow crushed Gang Green at home.
Davante Adams‘ reunion with Aaron Rodgers was spoiled by the debut of Russell Wilson, who led his Pittsburgh Steelers to a 37-15 victory over the New York Jets on „Sunday Night Football.“
While all the hype surrounded Adams reuniting with Rodgers, his old Green Bay Packers quarterback, following a trade from the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this week, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin made the switch at quarterback to Wilson over Justin Fields, seeing if the veteran Super Bowl champion could lead his offense the way he wanted to see it.
And while Wilson had to shake some rust off, the Steelers‘ offensive engine steamrolled a good Jets defense with a brilliant performance from its signal caller.
Wilson threw for 264 yards on 16-of-29 through the air with two passing touchdowns, one to his top target on 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 touchdown at the end of the game to cap an incredible night for Pittsburgh, as they moved to 5-2 on the year.
