How can the Jets beat the Steelers? Run the ball

The New York Jets are 1-2 and the sky is falling (once again) after a blowout loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. But a win in Pittsburgh would move the Jets to 2-2. If asked before the season started, most Jets fans would have taken a .500 record against the NFC North.

How can the Jets beat the Steelers? Run the damn ball.
