Jets’ Tyler Conklin scores for first time in years vs. Steelers (video)

Jets’ Tyler Conklin score for first time in years vs. Steelers (video)

For the first time in a long time, Jets tight end Tyler Conklin has found the end zone against the Steelers.

At the 5:29 mark of the second quarter, there was very little doubt.

After the Steelers defense bit on a play-action fake by quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Conklin was left wide open in the end zone. It might have been Rodgers’ easiest touchdown in his Jets career.

The TD for Conklin is the first time he has scored since October 2022 against the Patriots. He had two scores in that one, so perhaps another is on the way for him.

The score put the Jets on top by a score of 15-6 after they added a two-point conversion.

Breece Hall has put his team on the board against the Steelers and given the Jets an early lead on “Sunday Night Football.”

With all eyes on receiver Davante Adams following his trade to the Jets this past week, it was Hall that gave the Jets their first points.

On a 13-yard carry in the red zone, Hall beat the Steelers defense to the left side of the end zone. It gave his team the 7-3 lead in the first quarter.

3 keys to a Jets victory vs. the Steelers in Week 7

The New York Jets will hope to add a win to their record in 2024 in Week 7. The team will face the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road during “Sunday Night Football.”

As usual, it will never be a walk in the park in the NFL. If the Jets (2-4) expect to beat the Steelers (4-2), there will be a few key things New York will have to focus on against Pittsburgh.

It will have to be a full-team effort, make no mistake. But these factors could weigh heavy on whether or not New York leave with a win or loss.

Here are three keys to the Jets pulling out a victory against the Steelers:

No more excuses

(USAT)

Robert Saleh was fired as head coach. All-Pro receiver Davante Adams was acquired via trade.

Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is out of excuses if this win does not happen. He has to perform.

Stop the run

(USAT)

The Steelers offense has leaned on their rushing attack all year. The ground game in Pittsburgh is led by running back Najee Harris and it averages 131.5 yards per game. No matter who is under center, that’s how they’re going to try and beat you.

Force Russ into mistakes

Speaking of quarterbacks, Russell Wilson will return for the Steelers this week. Wilson will start. He is prone to making mistakes in recent years. Whether it’s a pass rusher such as Will McDonald IV or someone in the secondary like Sauce Gardner, big plays that happen will lead to a win.

Jets’ Aaron Rodgers was mad about the referees vs. the Bills

Jets’ Aaron Rodgers was mad about the referrers vs. the Bills

The Jets and Bills both took a lot of penalties in their Week 6 matchup on “Monday Night Football” at MetLife Stadium.

Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers was not happy about it… but he blamed the referees above all else.

In the 23-20 loss for the Jets, both teams took 11 flags. Even on one against him, when Bills’ pass rusher AJ Epenesa sacked Rodgers, the Jets QB did not agree.

Rodgers called out the NFL, saying even that was not worthy of a flag.

Rodgers’ full thoughts can be found in the SNY clip below:

The Jets offense is putting up points against the Bills on “Monday Night Football” in Week 6.

None more exciting than this one.

Right before halftime, the Bills scored a touchdown with 21 seconds left to take a 20-10 lead.

How did the Jets go into the half with a 20-17 scoreline? Quarterback Aaron Rodgers launched an unlikely 52-yard “Hail Mary” touchdown pass to wide receiver Allen Lazard with eight seconds left.

Lazard hit the ground and eventually had the ball knocked out from his hands… but it was counted.

What a play.

The Jets have come out of the gate hot in the Jeff Ulbrich era and Garrett Wilson has benefited.

After a field goal on their first drive of the game to take a 3-0, the Jets went down 7-3 as the Bills responded with a score of their own.

But not so fast said Wilson and quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

On a third down in the red zone, Rodgers connected with Wilson for a touchdown. It was not easy.

Wilson toe-tapped the back of the end zone for the score. It was initially called out of bounds, however, it was so clearly in bounds that the NFL did not even let the Jets use a timeout. They overruled it from the league’s HQ.

The Jets hold a 10-7 lead in the first quarter thanks to the score.

Jets’ Quincy Williams has stern response to loss against the Vikings

Jets’ Quincy Williams has stern response to loss against the Vikings

No excuses came from the New York Jets defense following their loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5.

The London clash ended 23-17 final in disappointing circumstances… for the offense. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ third and final interception sealed the defeat.

Linebacker Quincy Williams was quick to hold his team to a high standard after the final whistle.

“I’m going to be honest, people get tired of hearing the same [expletive],” Williams told SNY. “People got to take accountability.”

With such a stern response, it feels like Williams wasn’t exactly pointing fingers, but it would be understandable as to why he felt the way he did.

After allowing some early points, the New York’s defense slammed the door shut on a high-flying Vikings offense. Even so, the Jets’ offense could not close the gap.

In a bit of a separate way, cornerback Sauce Gardner was not in the mood to make any excuses either. He specifically spoke to penalties being called against the Jets.

“We did pretty good. Obviously, got quite a few calls, quite a few pass interferences, never called on us. It’s our job to play, the refs make calls. Ain’t nobody perfect,” Gardner said in the locker room. “I think we did a pretty good job.”

In the outing, Williams recovered a fumble to go along with the six tackles. Gardner had two tackles, a pass defended and a nearly an interception in the end zone. He was also flagged for a few penalties as he pointed out.
