Pittsburgh has never been hospitable to the Jets. The Steel City has smelted the Green & White souls nine times in their 10 visits to western Pennsylvania. Leads of any kind have been hard to come by.
It was more of the same today at Heinz Field — a bruising 31-13 defeat as the Jets lost for the third straight time and the fourth in five games. Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger threw four touchdown passes, one long and three short. Ryan Fitzpatrick threw one TD to Brandon Marshall, but while the Jets stayed close most of the way, they couldn't climb on top against the tough Steelers and their Terrible Towel-twirling fans.
