00:00Sunday night football in the Steel City for a second consecutive week. The New

00:08York Jets playing in a primetime marquee matchup in a game they had to have. The

00:16New York Jets have been the focus of the NFL in the last 10 days. They fired their

00:21head coach in Robert Sala. They make a change at offensive coordinator and who

00:26is calling the plays. They trade for Devontae Adams all to benefit Aaron

00:31Rodgers all for him to look like a mediocre 40 year old quarterback and

00:38there was also another narrative entering Sunday night in the Steel City

00:42Russell Wilson not Justin Fields getting a start for the Steelers making his

00:48debut in a Pittsburgh uniform. Wasn't great early was great at the end when it

00:55mattered. The Steelers score 31 unanswered points to absolutely rout the

01:02New York Jets 37 to 15. Pittsburgh wins outright as a two and a half point

01:08underdog and maybe just maybe maybe we can finally stop expecting the New York

01:14Jets and Aaron Rodgers to deliver when it matters most. Here's what I liked

01:19yesterday the most I'm gonna get to the Steelers in just a second Russell

01:22Wilson but last week the narrative was all right you're gonna change the coach

01:25because obviously he was the issue nobody ever looked at the Jets before

01:28that and said boy the defense is the problem it's always been the offense so

01:32let's move forward to Devontae Adams getting added to this football team

01:35nobody ever said like the Jets are one wide receiver away from winning this

01:39whole thing nobody ever said that so it's fun that it plays out that way

01:43granted the Jets would have a lead and Garrett Wilson who again is in that wide

01:47receiver room I've been a wide receiver I've been in locker rooms before there's

01:50alpha dogs at wide out there's alpha dogs at tailback there's alpha dogs at

01:54quarterback right you never want to have another alpha dog enter into the

01:57equation say well didn't Garrett Wilson play what five catches 61 yards he

02:00dropped an absolute laser beam from Aaron Rodgers that landed in for an

02:05interception that was returned the opposite way back to what the one yard

02:08line here effectively changing that entire game these guys are worried about

02:12more things off the football field now than on the football field and yes the

02:16Jets aren't a good football team with two or five and yes people will buy back

02:19in because of how much talent they have let's switch it over to the Pittsburgh

02:22Steelers who came into this game Ben at four and two on the season I told

02:26everybody the minute we started hearing that Russell Wilson last week was taking

02:30first-team rents absolutely 1,000% this is the right move because once again I

02:35don't it's not even talking down to people like you never played the game

02:38forget about playing the game here let's just go and I use this anomaly a few

02:41times last week Ben or analogy I should say if you're having to catch in the

02:45backyard we all have that frame where you stand 15 20 yards away throws that

02:48perfect spot right at your chest every single time easy catch back and forth

02:52then you have the friend that throws one at your feet throws one at your knees

02:55and then throws one in the trees you gotta go chase it down it's like I don't

02:58feel like having a catch anymore well Donny why are you telling the story look

03:01at George Pickens he didn't feel like having that catch anymore with Justin

03:05Fields because he couldn't get him the football every once in a while yes the

03:09ball would come to George Pickens but when you're a wide receiver in an

03:12offense that you're running you're out based on timing and understanding the

03:16minute hot hot hike happens and you take three steps and you're in the

03:19middle of your rack on like I'm probably not getting this football I don't even

03:22feel like running this route we've all been there as wide receivers then you

03:26get Russell Wilson he say hold on now I'm gonna run a route one-on-one he's

03:30gonna throw a pillow 40 yards downfield that gives me a chance to out jump this

03:35DB which I know I can do time and time again George Pickens five catches 111

03:40one touchdown multiple pass interferences against the entire field

03:44it opens up and you might even say well Donny Najee Harris had 21 for 102 that's

03:48exactly what happens when your entire playbook is available to your offense

03:52you move the football the Jets came in with a top-ten defense the Steelers

03:56dropped 37 points on that's not a coincidence Justin Fields wasn't going

04:00to do that Mike Tomlin thank you for seeing the

04:02bigger picture winning regular season games as opposed to what you heard on

04:06the telecast he wants to win a Super Bowl the only way to have any chance of

04:10winning the Super Bowl was Russell Wilson not Justin Fields perfect end the

04:15story love the way the game played out I was right they were wrong how about that
