Leaning on Sam Darnold’s arm among 4 keys to Jets’ offense against Steelers

Sam Darnold’s performance typically ties directly to the Jets offense’s ability to score points this season.

Darnold should look to Robby Anderson earlier and often against Pittsburgh as the fourth-year wideout is primed to continue to his hot streak in Week 16.

Anderson only caught four passes for 66 yards against the Ravens a week ago, but has averaged 5.25 receptions for 92.5 yards and two touchdowns over the past four games.

Anderson might have a difficult time against a potent Steelers secondary, but his skill set as a speed receiver should help him get close to his average. Anderson ranks 16th in the league with 15.5 receiving yards per target, and the Steelers have given up big numbers to similar players like John Brown (eight catches for 85 yards) and Christian Kirk (seven catches for 95 yards) in back-to-back-weeks.
