Coming into this game, the Jets and Steelers had combined for nine quarters without an offensive touchdown scored.
Jets Vs. Steelers: Not The Defensive Battle That Was Expected
Well, that streak has come to an end on a touchdown by Steelers TE Matt Spaeth.
The Jets, however, have still failed to score an offensive touchdown, but they have been able to pick up yards, and they are very much in this game thanks to a Brad Smith return for a touchdown on the opening kickoff.
QB Ben Roethlisberger has completed 13 of 23 passes for 118 yards and one touchdown. On the other side of the ball, QB Mark Sanchez has completed 7 of 10 passes for 70 yards.
Both teams have struggled to run the football. Remember, the Steelers rank No. 1 in defending the rush and the Jets rank No. 3. This could be a big reason as to why. RB LaDainian Tomlinson has six carries for 31 yards, and RB Rashard Mendenhall has eight carries for 43 yards.
