Steelers honor alumni at halftime (Steelers.com)

As a part of the 90th season celebration, the Steelers honored alumni from every decade during halftime of Sunday's game.

"It's more than a dream, it's greater than a myth, it's a lasting legacy to be a part of Pittsburgh Steelers history," said Holmes. It was great to hear from them and talk to them." It's so special to be back and everyone has been so welcoming and great to us." It's going to be a similar mix of things, but it's always neat to know the history of it and how it's going today. I always look forward to talking to different guys and reconnecting. But it's great to come back now and be a part of it.

We all have to be accountable to make these plays and be a good defense." And I think first down was critical for us in the first half because when we were able to win on first down, it kind of set us up for second and third. "That was something I wanted to bring to the table. "It's a cycle where we all have to work together. "I think that really put us in a tough spot, and when we did dominate that first down play, it really set them back. "As a defense, we didn't get off the field enough especially in the second half," said Heyward. And then when we did hit home, we didn't clean up on the back end. It's definitely on me and I have to improve." "I'm sure I'll be able to update you guys the next time we come together." We intend to do that."

Jets-Steelers Game Recap | Cardiac Jets Do It Again, Win, 24-20 , in ... (newyorkjets.com)

Green & White Erase a 10-Point 4th Quarter Deficit to Score Second Straight Road Win in 2022.

Unfortunately for the Jets, the shuffling continued when rookie RT Max Mitchell was carted off the field in the second quarter and replaced by Conor McDermott. The starting safeties totaled 3 INTs with Joyner's early theft leading to a field goal and Whitehead, a Pittsburgh native, coming down with Pickett's first pro pass. They made it 20 straight points at the beginning of the fourth quarter as Pickett stared down a Quinnen Williams pressure, sat tight and delivered on time to Freiermuth for an 18-yard gain on third-and-8. Instead of the Jets pushing their lead back to double digits, Carl Lawson was called for a personal the foul on starter Mitch Trubisky and that set up a stadium record 59-yard field goal from Chris Boswell as time expired. Wilson converted a third down with a huge 35-yard connection to WR Garrett Wilson and kept the game alive with a 22-yarder to Corey Davis on fourth-and-7. In an exciting Week 4 contest, the young Jets took the Steelers' best punch and answered Pitt's 20-point run with a 14-point run in another improbable victory.

Zach Wilson rallies Jets past debuting Pickett, Steelers (Sportsnet.ca)

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Breece Hall ran for a 2-yard touchdown with 16 seconds remaining and Zach Wilson and the New York Jets spoiled Kenny Pickett's debut in Pittsburgh by rallying for a 24-20 victory over the Steelers on Sunday.

The Jets stuck with Wilson whenever he was healthy during his rookie season and were ready to recommit to him in Year 2 when healthy again. The ending of the game wasn't happy for Pittsburgh, but it was a lot different that the lifeless beginning. The Jets came in with plenty of energy in building a 10-0 first-half lead. The crowd also came alive, giving the Steelers more energy. Pickett completed 10 of his 13 pass attempts, with a gaudy 9.2 yards per attempt, and a fine 104.6 passer rating despite the multiple INTs. But the Steelers would have had zero chance to win in the first place had they not made a mid-game QB switch to rookie Kenny Pickett.

There were some good moments for Pickett in the game besides two INTs, one of which came late in the fourth quarter and set the Jets up for the go-ahead score. Ultimately, Pickett’s first game didn’t go as planned since the Steelers lost to the Jets, 24-20. Trubisky had clearly been unimpressive, and while he wasn’t the worst, the Steelers had lost two in a row coming into the Jets game. It’d be one thing if Trubisky was doing just enough for the Steelers to win. Pickett also threw an INT, but that’s to be expected in the first regular season action of his career. But this move was inevitable and bound to happen at some point in the season.
