Previewing the Steelers vs. Jets Week 4 showdown

The Pittsburgh Steelers are hosting the New York Jets in Week 4 of the 2022 regular season.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets are two teams who don’t know each other well, even though they are AFC foes. For these two AFC teams, the game in Week 4 is as big as a Week 4 game can get. Throw in the fact the Steelers have lost two games in a row, and this game gets even more attention.

Here is the game preview for the Steelers and Jets for their Week 4 matchup in Pittsburgh.

News and Notes

The Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets will face off at Acrisure Stadium in Week 4 of NFL action. On paper, and according to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Steelers are favored to win this game at home, but nothing is certain with these 2022 Steelers.

The Steelers, coming off a Thursday Night Football loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 3, are sticking with Mitch Trubisky at quarterback. Meanwhile, the Jets are getting their starting quarterback back in the lineup as Zach Wilson has been cleared to play and will make his 2022 debut on the road vs. Pittsburgh.

When you look at the defenses in this matchup, both are stout, yet are far from complete. The Steelers will be without T.J. Watt for the third week after he was placed on Injured Reserve (IR) after injuring his pectoral muscle after Week 1. New York is dealing with their share of injuries on defense, including along their offensive line.

In a battle of 1-2 teams, which team will come out of Week 4 with an even 2-2 record, and which will fall to 1-3 and have an uphill climb to get back to anything resembling relevance within a highly competitive AFC? Only time will tell…
