Jets Vs. Steelers Score: AFC Championship Game Won’t Be A Shutout, At Least

The New York Jets have made a mark on the scoreboard, and Phil Simms just cracked up a portion of America by marveling at the silenced and stunned Heinz Field crowd. Somebody get Wiz Khalifa back out here!

Getting the ball back after a Pittsburgh Steelers fumble return touchdown, the Jets hurried down the field in about a minute. Nick Folk made the 42-yard field goal to put the Jets back within three scores. New York does get the ball back to start the second half, so all isn’t yet lost for Jets fans.

Something’s gonna have to change, though, as Pittsburgh has outgained New York 231 yards to 50. QB Ben Roethlisberger and RB Rashard Mendenhall have both put up more than twice the yardage of the entire Jets attack. The Steelers have scored more points than the Jets have run offensive plays.
